Ultimatum 43>15

[becalm]

A professional agreement that's gone a bit awry - they haven't held up their side of the agreement.

What if I give this person an ultimatum (ie. it's A or B no fence sitting anymore)

Hexagram 43.1.2.4.5.>15

This looks like it's a good idea to have a back up plan BEFORE I give the ultimatum and not to be aggressive in my decision to make this stand.

Line 1 - refers to my frustration
Line 2 - is me tossing and turning at night trying to work out what to do
Line 4 - I can't move on this until they do and I don't trust their words anymore (I need to see action)
Line 5 - A decision needs to be made (no more fence sitting)

 

[becalm]

There has been no resolution.

What do I need to know about getting out of this agreement without penalty to me
Hex 27.6>24

It looks like what ever input (financial in this case) I've put in will be Returned to me.

27.6 Wilhelm/Baynes: The source of nourishment. Awareness of danger brings good fortune. It furthers one to cross the great water.

Hex 24 Wilhelm/Baynes: Success. Going out and coming in without error. Friends come without blame. To and fro goes the way. On the seventh day comes return. It furthers one to have somewhere to go.

I would say that it would be good from your side to take your time and put effort to untangle this situation. Listen to your intuition, concentrate and analyse the problem thoroughly (put it on the paper) and step out with your proposals of solutions. In practice that would mean to clearly articulate the problem to your partners and not to hesitate to inform them about the consequences of their poor cooperation. Sometimes we perceive such an approach as an aggressive but in essence it is just a matter of the professional problem solving. In this moment that might look like a lot of ‘homework’ to do (the great water to cross) and probably will be bumpy but it is also the best way to protect your interests in this situation.

What you need to know about getting out of this agreement is that by doing so you will be gaining nourishment after correcting something that has become rotten. 27<> 24 Finding the right nourishment through beginning again.

Hex 27 advises careful use of words and moderation in what you feed to yourself and others.

27.6: Getting out of the agreement could well be difficult. You need to understandwhat is at the root of the issues, for both sides, Preparing a different approach may help you getting away without penalty to you.

In your original post you clearly stated that you saw this as a problem with a professional agreement, however much of you interpretation of your first cast

What if I give this person an ultimatum ? Hexagram 43.1.2.4.5.>15

comes across as being viewed as relating to you personallyand your interpretation carries personal themes. 43<>15 = Resolution through Humbleness. It speaks of staying balanced, being prepared, remaining focused yet agile through smart use of a wise head in difficult times.
43.5 in particular advocates emotional balance (eradicating weeds) and by doing so staying in your power. Offering an ultimatum seems to me anything other than 'walking the middle path' and it is only through this approach Yi is saying that there is 'no fault'.

This has become a difficult situation that you are eager to complete. Remember, completion is not always the same as resolution (43.1). Stay alert to how to bring about resolution, encourage internal clarity that will lead to you seeing ways for a win / win situation for you both(43.2). Maybe there are other options, other approaches, you can consider. In your head you may even have discounted some of these words of wisdom already (43.4).

...or it may be nothing at all like this for you.

Thanks my_key - Using the word Ultimatum was probably just my way of putting strength behind the stance that's necessary to take.....it's not so much an ultimatum but a need to find resolution quickly and effectively.

Everything you mentioned here is exactly the conclusions I have come to myself in the past 24 hours and definitely keeping myself balanced by keeping my emotions out of it and staying alert through internal clarity to bring about resolution for a win/win situation.
Appreciate your insight....the next couple of days are going to be about just that and hopefully we can find a way to sort this out with little drama.

I am beginning again re finding resolution Hex 27>15 so let's hope I get it right and things get sorted one way of the other.

That sounds like a positive coming from your cast. Remember, this is a professional issue not a personal one. Look for a professional resolution.
I did edit some of my words after you replied for better reading - typos and clearity. The sentiments remained the same though.

Good Luck

Thank you Yana-Rose - that sounds exactly what I'm doing now. Initially I trusted the person would be open to resolution with this ongoing problem, because who wants to keep going over the same thing, but unfortunately they just brushed me off - AGAIN.
Yes you're right I did perceive it as aggressive because I just don't like the potential of conflict. I personally always look for working things out without drama but I soon realised that's not the case here and it's not personal it business - a big difference. I've had to accept it is probably going to be a bit bumpy but I do have to protect myself and my interests as you mentioned.

You sure about that hahahahaha

There has been some indication from this person that they'd now like to sort this out as soon as possible too but there's still that matter of financial loss to me if I shake hands on it now.
In the bigger picture I have a legal case as they're in breach of the agreement but I would have to apply for an Order against them - which isn't costly nor time consuming but it's best if we don't go there.....

What if I let them know of my intentions to place an Order against them (unless they waive the financial loss to me)

Hexagram 45.2>47 - I feel this cast leads to a good outcome and we work it out without taking the matter to legal authorities.

You sure about that hahahahaha

Have I invented a new word???? It seems appropriate in the circumstances.

 

[becalm]

Hahaha absolutely - might add it to my vocabulary - never know it could be in Webster's some day!

We worked out a compromise and I'll pay a very minimum exit fee even though it's not exactly fair but it's going to stop it becoming a legal matter so it's best to cut my losses and move on.
