Work for someone you hate?

[PwnDirect]

So I' am self employed at the minute and just got an inquiry from a firm for some work, Talked away and arranged a follow up call to work out specifics.

Then when I googled the firm turns out its owned by a family mine hates.

Short version ; Neighbors from hell two brother's completely mad tortured my parents & threatened my Dad, poured paint thinner over car bonnet etc.

This firm is run by their sister who I've had no dealings with, but call came from employee not herself. So could also be turned away upon arrival also being morally bankrupt could also end up not getting paid.

Is this a case of business is business and let bygones be bygones or
trust my gut & politely decline the work ?

Anyone else be in a similar situation ?

Pwn them.

What did the brothers do to your parents? waterboard them? pull their fingernails out with pliers?

I'd look elsewhere to be honest ... can of worms!

 

[Mynight]

If the sister wasn't involved in the dispute why does it matter?

 

[Raumarik]

Seduce sister, turn her against her family, profit.

Money is more important than family. Bury the hatchet and get paid.

Seduce sister, turn her against her family, profit.

That is deliciously Machiavellian

Sleep with sister, mum, cat, hamster etc
Take dump in letter box
Throw mustard at them

all standard actions in cases like these

If you've got plenty of work on and can afford to ditch it, ask to speak to the sister and tell her your reasons as to why you can't accept the position.

Else, make sure your contracts are watertight and keep your nose exceptionally clean whilst there and plough on (job, not sister).

Seduce sister, turn her against her family, profit.

Like a lower rent Romeo and Juliet!

 

[spoffle]

Do you actually hate the sister, and if so, why? Have you actually thought about why?

It sounds like you're accepting a family fued with no real thought about who and what it's about.

This is like something out of Jeremy Kyle.

Wouldn't go near it to be honest, and i wouldn't explain why.
