Title: Should I fuck this Pharmaceutical Co? Post by jonny on Apr 24th, 2003, 5:31pm I was working up a bid on a job today, came up with $35,000. The company name is "AstraZeneca". (See bottom right of photo) http://tinyurl.com/a9mf I didnt realise who they were until I reached for a Zomig a half hour ago. Should I up my bid to get back at the bastards and risk losing the job cause im to high on the bid? If I do up my bid and get the job will it just mean that the cost will trickle down to us? Do I do nothing and just submit my bid? What would you do? Me?, I would love to bend these bastards over!!!!! .................................jonny |

Title: Re: Should I fuck this Pharmaceutical Co? Post by jimbo on Apr 24th, 2003, 6:16pm jonny, I'm in biz to, what I would do is bid it the right way and try to take as much out of them later by doing change orders to the project if required. I'm not sure what their looking for from you as far as product goes, but if there is a bid specification with the request for bid form, check it over real good! A lot of times they fuck up on it and don't even know it, so thats when you drill for oil in their asses. ;D Good luck Bro and I hope you get it. Thing are fucking tough out there right now. I was at a high of 12 full-timers six months ago and now I'm down to 4. Pretty tough to pay the bills right now but hey, Clusterheads are a resilient bunch aren't they? I will recover! FUCKENEH Seeya, Jimbo |

Title: Re: Should I fuck this Pharmaceutical Co? Post by Ted on Apr 24th, 2003, 7:08pm I say you get the bid, with the stipulation that once they pay you you'll tell them when you can work, sort of matching their "usual dosage" info printed on the outside of the box. Then, after you're all paid up inform them you can only work two times per day (even if you don't really work the first time) with at least a two hour break in between and you're only going to work six times per month, maximum. If they start to squabble, tell them to take it up with their insurance company. |

Title: Re: Should I fuck this Pharmaceutical Co? Post by CathiP on Apr 24th, 2003, 7:42pm Let's see: A nice jing-jing in your pocket VS looking for another job to bid Your reputation as a company that charges fair prices for top-notch work VS a reputation as a company that overprices (which relates to your professionalism) Factor in the high likelihood that this project will NOT affect their bottom line, most likely the money has already been apportioned for this project, consequently, the extra that you might collect if you get the job with a higher-than-necessary bid, and the bubble just burst. IT WON'T HURT THEM TO PAY Will it hurt you to miss out on this opportunity? Could it lead to more jobs in the future? Take the high road, Jonny......you're obviously excellent at what you do, and you should be paid well- give them a reason to call you back AGAIN & AGAIN. "course, dating the CEO's daughter might be a bit of a payback!! :o I hope you have the winning bid, Jonny! Cathi |

Title: Re: Should I fuck this Pharmaceutical Co? Post by jonny on Apr 24th, 2003, 7:53pm Thanks folks, I really wanted to run this by the family seeing it had to do with the bastards. I will submit my original bid but I will bend them over like Jimbo says, I can do this very easy. Ted, when I say friday delivery, I never said which friday......(New contract, they pay half up front....LOL) Second half is where I can fuck them, they need it so bad to get an occupancy permit they will lick you......LMMFAO!!!!! ;D Thanks for the advice, my family ;D ...........................jonny |

Title: Re: Should I fuck this Pharmaceutical Co? Post by Brian_Y on Apr 24th, 2003, 8:17pm Take the job, but draaaaggg it out, be like bureaucracy guy from hell. It'll end up costing them more money anyway, but their corporate culture will see it as status quo. |

Title: Re: Should I fuck this Pharmaceutical Co? Post by Frank on Apr 24th, 2003, 8:33pm Bid high... but not so high that you don't get the job. You can then feel good knowing they were fucked by a clusterhead! |

Title: Re: Should I fuck this Pharmaceutical Co? Post by BruceD on Apr 24th, 2003, 8:59pm Hey Jonny, I'm late to the topic but I'd second Jimbo ... gotta run "upright". Give 'em that honest quote and when they need changes ... they gotta know that costs dinero. The only work of yours I've seen was that ladder and I must say ... whatever your bid is for, they're getting their money worth. Nice work man. Later BruceD |

Title: Re: Should I fuck this Pharmaceutical Co? Post by Anthem on Apr 24th, 2003, 9:34pm Hey Bud-- I think you are on the right track. Bid normally, get the contract, and then do what you can without doing too much that they get pissed. Remember, there may be multiple contracts here, and if you do damn good work, they may come back to you again and again... think LONG TERM fucking here Bro! :) Instead of a one night stand--think marriage!

Title: Re: Should I fuck this Pharmaceutical Co? Post by Charlie on Apr 25th, 2003, 12:11am Take the job Take the money Take the pills Take your time Tell them when they ask why you're taking so long, that it's because you're only following their instructions on the box about operating heavy machinery. Anything that happens to you while taking a chance by doing the work will be their fault. :D Charlie |

Title: Re: Should I fuck this Pharmaceutical Co? Post by SommelierCH on Apr 25th, 2003, 2:59am Well $hit. That’s the problem with working nights, by the time I get home (it was early tonight, 12:45 am) and want to reply to a post, all the good lines are taken. So, I will pretend that this is the first reply, and just trip out on my own. Have you tried oxygen? (sorry, wrong thread) Dudester, The problem is not with the maker of Zomig, the problem is that insurance will only cover 6 pills a month. Do you have insurance? I was just thinking that you’ve had these fuckers for so long, it’s probably always been, in their minds, a “pre-existing condition”. I got this advice when I was kind of in the same dilemma. Back when I was doing television commercials, I got cast in a couple of McDonalds spots. I was a vegetarian at the time and quite the “hippie environmentalist” (gave up the car, and rode a bicycle for 10 years). I just did not feel “right” doing these commercials. An older actor friend said, “Do the commercial, take the money and eat somewhere else. That’s the best revenge”. So bid conservatively, get the job (we are all rooting for you on this one, you deserve it, bro) and switch to Maxalt MLT 10mg. I consider them equal. ;D Peace and PFDAN, David J. |

Title: Re: Should I fuck this Pharmaceutical Co? Post by SommelierCH on Apr 25th, 2003, 3:10am I just looked at your Zomig package again, and see that you aren’t using Zomig-ZMT 5mg (the fast dissolving under the tongue tabs, with subcutaneous delivery). You’ve got the regular Zomig 5mg. Clue us in on that choice. My take, is that if you use it as you go to bed (as we’ve talked about before), the half life must be double that of the ZMT, and perhaps protects you farther into the sleep cycle. Since I always get hit 15 min.-2 hours after falling asleep, I want the fast dissolving tabs (half life 1.5 – 3 hours). Just wondering, David J. |

Title: Re: Should I fuck this Pharmaceutical Co? Post by Karla on Apr 25th, 2003, 4:23am Be honest about it. Two wrongs dont make it right. You won't feel good in the end if you are dishonest and up the bid or raise it after fact. Its a nice fantasy but in the end I don't think its the wise thing to do. |

Title: Re: Should I fuck this Pharmaceutical Co? Post by NotH20 on Apr 25th, 2003, 9:25am Jonny - make a fair bid and enjoy the money in your pocket. I think you should sweet-talk some of the female employees, which I'm sure you can do ;) Then see if you can get some samples - we could sell then on the OUCH site to the highest bidder - which is probably cheaper than what we can get thru our insurance company. We could turn this into a money-making project for OUCH. Of course you could keep as many as you want as a finders fee LOL Just my 2 cents worth here. Good luck - keep us posted, Mia |

Title: Re: Should I fuck this Pharmaceutical Co? Post by echo on Apr 25th, 2003, 9:55am Jonny, even tho you would like to "rip em a new one" with an inflated bid, I know you are not that type of business person, or you would have been out of business years ago. Place the original bid and wait for them to do a scope change, that's where you can make the extra money. Treating them fair will always keep them coming back to your door for additional work. Take care bro. |

Remember, they could award it to a Frenchman. |
