serial 𝓶𝓸𝓭𝓭⻤
This is something which happens to me rather frequently. I don't mind it when a close friend asks, of course i will help. But when friends of friends also asks to fix (without compensation) it gets more.. questionable. Suddenly it's like we're best friends.
I get the feeling this is a rather common thing for people who knows computers. Is it the same in other fields of work? I don't think so, at least i'm not aware of it. If you work with cars then friends of friends thinks its ok to ask you to fix it for free (because since you work with it's of no effort for you and most likely you ENJOY it too, right, riiiight?). Duh..
I find it embarrassing to have to ASK for compensation, but i guess there's no way around it when people are such cheapskates.
Anyone else have this problem, how do you deal with it?
