I had the misfortune of not being able to pay 5 freelancers last year (when one of the directors' ridiculous speculative pitches didn't come off and he refused to pay). These were people I knew socially, and it ate away at me every day. Eventually I had to split from the company and at the start of this year maxed out my cards paying them back, still in debt but on good terms with everyone (even the director, who emailed me last week bragging about a $10m deal he just made in the states). Anyway, it's never as simple as "Lawyers are expensive. Fists are free"... and some day you'll be the cunt.
- so you're willing to payback the banks, but totally crap on a designer, and you expect violins here?omg
- i think he said he maxed out his cards paying back the designersthisfreelancelife
- no offense, i feel for ya, just still against people who make you work and then not pay you...?omg
- sorry then my mistake. i guess if you personally know each other, then its okay, else fist are still freeomg
- aye man, i was the face of the company, and i'd been introduced to these people though designer friendskingsteven
- so i had to take on personal debt to keep things sweet. my point is don't make any enemies.kingsteven
- oh, and i now have a company with one of said freelancers that's landing really interesting work. so no violins plz.kingsteven
- nah we don't know each other, but I understand your point omg. In my persoanl situation i still dont have a contract I paid the freelancer from my own pocket. Ugh! I could have bought a new TV...or even took my gal on an all inclusive week vacation!thisfreelancelife
