The Nonorable Gentleman
I was employed last year for a very short while by a very wealthy and influential man who had much more in common with a spoilt 8 yr old than one might hope. It was supposed to be a full time contract, and we'd discussed 2 and 5 year plans and how the project would develop and us with it... dreal job, and a long time coming.

After a fortnight he decided that it wasn't going to work between us despite the fact that I'd pulled it all together not only on time but slightly ahead and well under budget (about 3 months work in just under 2 weeks, working 16 hrs a day for 13 days to get it done)...

I was not happy, especially when I was handed a cheque for 2 weeks work. I argued that I'd been contracted for my skills, qualifications and experience, and as such I was entitled to a minimum of a month. He gave in after a couple of days and I got my money.

What I forgot to tell him was that an hour before he'd sacked me the local council had called and booked a planning and environmental health meeting with me. They had some concerns that I had prepared answers and remediation for. They arrived at 11am the day after I got my cheque and cashed it. Apparently it was a bit of a shock.

So basically you got an extra two weeks worth of free money for nothing
and played a childish prank on the way out. Yes, he definitely comes across as the immature one in all of this.
