That's a nice way to view it but as a contractor/freelancer part of your job is getting and retaining contracts. While a big part of that is the work you do and the results you produce, people pleasing and team fit play a part as well. It's a legitimate concern since FTEs often complain about different rules and regs for contractors while forgetting about their own holidays and other benefits. Yes, your supervisor/company contact should handle it and, technically, dictating your hours can be playing fast and loose with IRS 1099 laws but, depending on your relationship, it can be better to conform in some areas to have more leverage in others.
