[consulting] Failed Outsourcing Job

[Joe Hyde]

Slavery was outlawed soon after the Civil War. You should not attempt to
re-engineer that horrible institution on FreeLancer.com.

Bad karma will get you if you steal that poor boy's work.

As for the poor client experience (your client), it's your fault. You went
cheap and hired the wrong talent. That's your fault.
