It's a different story when Joe Soap has no degrees, no experience & the only thing he knows how to do is install Win 7 SP1. The company then goes with Joe Soap to install Active Directory on a server with 35 workstations & to configure that active directory & the DNS scope along with the proxy. Just because Joe Soap asks R80 p/h less.

3 months later the company gets rid of Joe Soap because he doesn't have the capacity to do what he needs to do. I then get called in to clean up the mess and hear things like, "We should've never gone with him".

That's what I have a problem with. When you inform the client the work will be inferior with the other service provider, you warn them of the consequences, and they still don't listen.
