She followed every rule. That's not why it almost fell apart.
I placed an admin with a client I'd worked with before. Referral, right background, documented workflows already in place. I stepped back, went hands-off, and for a while it worked. Really worked. My client trusted her enough to bring her into in-person trainings.
Then came the ultimatum: hire her directly, or she'd quit. Not allowed in our contract. She knew that. Turns out she'd been working both sides the whole time.
The workflow never broke. It was never going to catch what actually went wrong, because it wasn't built to.
Here's what I learned about the difference between a business that's documented and a business that's actually safe.
