Recently, I took on a project for a company. The people there – polite, trusting (or in other words, completely unsuspecting) – told me the job had to be delivered within 3 weeks. I agreed, naturally – with my signature professional attitude, something like “yeah, sure, it’ll get done, don’t worry!” Now, deep down, I knew full well that in 3 weeks, I’d be lucky to have written the title of the project. But I decided to play it cool. Why? Well, because I was in full anti-professional mode, and I was already planning the excuses I’d use when the time came: – “Guys, I caught covid…” – “Something tragic happened in my family…” – “A team member quit and everything fell on me…” You know, classic Balkan drama. Why should only others use them? So, 3 weeks go by. I’ve managed to do about 40% of the work (which I personally consider a small miracle), and the people in charge come to me and say: – “Since you didn’t deliver on time, we’d like the €450 advance payment back.” And I, with Oscar-level seriousness, respond: – “I’m sorry, but I’ve already completed 40% of the work. I can’t return the money.” They looked at me, smiled, and said the unforgettable line: “It’s not your fault… we’re the idiots for trusting you.” And at that moment, I didn’t feel offended. I didn’t feel guilty. I felt… validated. Not professionally. But Balkan-style. Conclusion: Consistency, professional responsibility, and respect for agreements... are fundamental values. Nowadays? Rare. Like an uncut diamond... that someone tossed in the trash because they thought it was just a weird-looking rock. Sure, you can fool people once, twice, maybe even three times… and get away with it. But eventually, even the most well-meaning fool out there… will wake up. And when they do, they'll replace you with someone else. Someone more reliable. More professional. Or at least… someone who’s better at coming up with excuses. 😏 -
