Found out today that a bully and a tyrant from my old agency life has died. I feel terribly for his family, but I have no intention of going to his funeral. How to handle?

Easy. Move on knowing he's no longer around to make your life hell.

Why would you even consider going to the funeral of a tyrant and a bully?

Don’t go to the funeral - you can send condolences, even flowers or donate to a cause listed in the obituary. You are not required to go. This is not a networking event.

Is there an expectation that you would need to go? Were you even invited? I wouldn’t go at all and I would not feel the least guilty about it.
And you know what? If this person was a bully and a tyrant, something tells me he was the same way with his family. They may be relieved, actually. Nobody misses bullies or tyrants.

Assuming because they all work in the same industry and they probably know the guy, which it sounds like they do? Not that weird

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?
