I just had a minor disagreement with a "co-worker". I put the term in quotes because I am only working on a contract basis and for no pay (it's commission only). He sent me a nastygram telling me he expected me to include certain information in a communication to a prospective customer. He told me this after the fact. He had sent me what he wanted me to send over earlier in the week. I sent it over and then he gets pissed because I didn't include additional information. I unfortunately don't have mind reading abilities. I even asked if he included a cover letter and he said he didn't.
I responded that if he expects something, then he should say so! I felt like saying: "You have been doing this job for over a year. It's your full-time job. I only have a couple of hours a week if that, so in the future if you want me to do something, all you have to do is tell me. And, oh BTW, you could make my life easier by providing me with with tools and information to make it easier to do my job".
