As a contractor myself - I run into situations on occasion where the client is their own worst enemy. Some are collaborators and others are competitors.

In this situation, the client appears to have an urgency - but not enough to cancel their church activities.

To a contractor - that could come across as a mixed message.

Priorities are just that - priorities. If they value their church activities more than assisting with project scheduling then that's up to them.

Every situation is different......so let's not go down the road of generalizing about either contractors or clients.

They each have their own approach and their own skill set to handle projects.

If it's a red flag for you Look.....then it should be heeded.
