You could also suggest another translator if you know someone who might not be bothered by the man's manner.


If you decide to use this trick, please, don't refer him to me.

You don't HAVE TO work with him. Sep 1, 2008

No one can force you to work with this kind of person.
I also refuse some jobs, if the fees are to small and the deadlines too tight.

Just respect yourself.
