Sadly I have few clients like this. Even worst are the ones who always want you to be ready to drop whatever you are doing to take care of their projects, but when it's time to pay their bank is always late or have problems to send out checks...
- mroman 17y agoAmen! I had one exactly like that.
- westbywest 17y agoMy attitude is that such clients perhaps knowingly put you in financial peril with this behavior, possibly because they believe this is effective motivation to get their project done on time and/or to spec. Since this can have a broader effect of rewarding unscrupulous behavior in particular freelance market, I try to be prepared to absorb the costs of walking away from a nasty client at any time. If this puts the client in jeopardy because it blows their schedule, that's precisely what they earned, and perhaps they shouldn't be contracting freelancers in the first place.
