- oeoeo00 7y agoThe client says that but they’re peddling unethical shit. It’s not unlikely the client knows exactly the way Upwork works and gamed their process too. And they get away with by scapegoating Upwork. Ticketmaster is an abuse catcher for venue price gouging. Why not hide behind Upwork policy to achieve a similar “no skin in the game” buffer. We just keep adding administration layers to everything, for jobs of course, while we see it always turn into an obfuscation tactic for swindlers.
