I recently did a couple of emergency editing jobs for a longtime client that I just love. Trouble is, now they expect me to continue to do more in less time and for less money. I wanted to help them out — that was my motivation. But what was theirs? Why did they suddently have almost no time for my part of the process? And all I’ve done is convince them they’d been spending too much money on me all along.

Very true – on all counts. I worked in an office where doing more with less manpower seemed to be the forte. A friend of mine got fired because she simply couldn’t keep up with the unrealistic pace, while those willing to work tons of overtime at an alarmingly fast rate set the benchmarks for the rest. It was ridiculous.

And, having been one of the “faster” people in the past, I know what it means to end up having more work dumped on you because “you must have time to do it…”

And, make sure that the time that you free up is used productively.

Hey, that sounds like me right before I got fired!

Now I’m freelancing and it’s all good. If I work harder, faster, smarter, there is a direct effect on my time and wallet.

Customer satisfaction should be numero uno, but 1 and a half might be ok.
