Yes, that's how things work. You stick to your part of agreement and pay on time - you earn good reputation. You don't pay on time and fail to communicate - you earn bad reputation.

Sure, he could pop in and say that payments have been received. But then again, no one from Legolas team came here to apologise for the delay and lack of communication. Do you want to comment on that or just picking on easy target?

At least he had balls to speak up. What I see right now is that most of campaign participants (not Legolas, but in general) are too afraid to criticise their managers/campaigns even if they are treated like shit. What's worse, they would be "white-knighting" and piling on against anyone who dares to speak up. Why? Because they are the ones who are here only for profit and they're too afraid to lose their spots + thinking that sucking up would earn them few 'points' and make their spots more secure. No surprise, a lot of them are from shithole countries (where "employer-employee = master-slave" mentality is common) and they do this for a living. Sad to watch really.
