The cold side of business

[Rawr]

Everyone surely has heard of the phrase "it's not personal, it is business", and how about all the stories we hear of people ripping off partners, accountants ripping off the owners, etc. It seems where money is to be grabbed, people like to grab it.

Please share your cold stories of people trying to screw you over in business, or just general "cold hearted" mindset that one must(?) have to succeed.


For me, this is the reason I LOVE contracts. I know people and how things can change, and that one week turns into half a year, so I want everything listed in a contract so we all agree from the start on what will happen.
