Over the summer yet another client treated me in typical Israeli fashion that would be considered grossly unprofessional in an advanced nation. I had to spend almost NIS 1,000 for a lawyer to get the "professional" to pay what he should have paid without question. [corruption]

Another client, with whom I had good working relations, couldn't get me paid. Even though we signed a net 30-day payment agreement, her accounts payable department consistently decided I should only be paid net 90 days and, as of this writing, I haven't been paid my final invoice in close to six months.

That shouldn't have to happen. As Jerusalem Post articles have mentioned, Israel suffers from a brain drain. Educated Israelis are being frightened away from hi-tech. If you can't even keep people here, shouldn't you be that much happier when people freely chose to come?
