Have any of you ever been in a client meeting with your boss and all is going well and you're taking in the client's concerns, comments and your boss responds with comments like "yeah, I was thinking that too" or "yeah, they are right" while they nod at you?? huh? Am I being a big baby?
Before you scream yes, my situation is that after freelancing for almost a year, I took a perma-job and brought on one of my clients to the new company. I brought the boss along to meet them and just warm them to the idea that suddenly more people are involved and in the design review he basically took it over and I felt embarrassed and offended. Should I say anything?

say:
Bitch! this is my client. I grought em in, you're getting paid, now back away.
*while waiving hands wildly- that should do it
:)sorry D, just remember now that you work for someone, your work is worth less. because someone else is making money from your client. the care factor should fall a little unless you plan on freelancing. hope that wasnt harsh.
btw, wy did you bring a freelance client in to the corporate scene?

bonseff..tough love! I like the first idea better than the second but I guess you're right.
I brought in the client because the job was big enough that I couldn't take a full time job and still do their project so I chose to use it as a bargaining chip...give me the salary I want and I'll give you this big client.
Guess the bottom line is that I hate working for someone else but need the steady $$ so should just suck it up. :(
