I had this last year when I freelance partnered with a perm GCD — he was just being d**k wouldn’t tell me where meeting rooms are and cut me out of reviews… super super arrogant. I just smiled and took the money.
This is the way. Do the work you’re paid to do with what you’re given, and don’t pick up the rest.
You’re a freelancer. You are filling a void. They probably have a client they don’t want to put new faces in front of that are temporary it’s not a good look for the account until they find someone permanent. Be happy you don’t have to attend as many meetings. Your FTE partner should fill you in how those presentations go. It’s actually pretty standard practice. You could also always ask someone to record the meetings if it’s a particularly hairy project.
You’re not. Do your best with your partner. Perhaps ask if he’d be comfortable using an AI note taker for these meetings you’re not in so you can go through the transcripts. Outside that… just collect that check.
That’s kind of where I’m at tbh. I don’t want to phone it in bc this is a place I’ve successfully freelanced with for 5+ years now but this is the first situation like this/bad overall experience I’ve ever had with them and it’s kind of thrown me for a loop.
