I almost had a cow this morning. Well a small one. On the front page of one of the local newspapers was a headline about a local vendor demanding payment from a local government agency. The company that sent out the press release (according to the St. Croix Avis) was Vast Imaging and the principal of the company is Ivan Minarik. The government agency in question is DLCA.

Now having someone owe you for work performed is not a pleasant thing, but Vast Imaging certainly should have handled it better. Now to be honest would you want to do business with a company that would do that to a client? I sure as hell wouldn’t. They should have hired an attorney and filed a claim/suit in court.

I may have further comments about this. What where they thinking??? Duh!

Now I know what I charge per hour and how long it takes me to accomplish tasks. But $80,000 for less than a year’s work, and I’m sorry but it would have been prudent not to continue to perform work when you’re not being paid.
