As a younger creative, I was forced to make the client’s idea or we’d lose the business. It was so bad they blamed me and I lost my job. A second time, my ECD told me to get behind an idea that I knew would never fly (religious themed) the client fired us. We all got laid off. The third time, I was in leadership, so this time, I told them tactfully that this national launch (needed some additional thought) The CCO disagreed and I had a target on my back until he lost his job over it. Solutions?

Do infosys really allowing permenant remote option?Please help

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
