&quot;Silly contract games&quot; are still important to protecting the business. And it&#x27;s not only about our bottom line. We have three full-time trainers and few part-timers. If one took a big chunk of our clientele, we&#x27;re suddenly laying people off with no notice just to keep the lights on.<p>As a consultant&#x2F;freelancer&#x2F;employee you have the luxury of just worrying about what&#x27;s best for you and that&#x27;s it. As an employer, it&#x27;s in my best interest to protect the business, otherwise people could be out on the street. If we mess something up with a contract or fail or do some &quot;silly&quot; thing correct it can literally ruin someone else&#x27;s life through no fault of their own.
