Yup, I used a similar reasoning when deciding which RFQ's from my
colleagues' firms to ignore/pursue:
"I think I'll take a pass on your RFQ, Bob"
"Why? It's *perfect* for you!"

complaints about how 'screwed up' the company is and figure
it's not likely to treat a contractor any better than an
employee!"
