A new EC working with a weak GC is running exposed.
Most weak GC's are, by definition, in over their head. Too many GC's should have never struck out on their own.
It is an absolute requirement for every sub to evalute the GC. You might run to your banker and have him pull a D&B report on a prospective GC. Tell him you'll pay him, but that you can't afford a D&B minimal subscription. ( Even a limited subscription goes for thousands per year. A single report to a subscriber is 'free' much in the manner of 'free minutes' in a cell phone contract. )
It is worth your while to contact prior subs, absolutely!
