In My Head
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 ?

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).

Seems sensible but then there's the hassle of a contract for a 1/2 day job & would seem like a red flag.

Friend said that too might be over dramatic but its a possibility.

Honestly I think Ill just leave it, but now how to do it without being classed as discrimination or some other balls.
 
Just pondering wording, These days everything is classed as discrimination so gotta be careful.

In my experience an apple doesn't fall too far from the tree
& I'am not risking not getting paid at the end.
