fyi for freelancers out there, heard from a friend that D3 is triple bidding producers against each other without disclosing that they’re doing so. feels wrong to triple bid staff roles without pay for the bidding process. any other freelancers experience something like this?

i’ll take that over asking you pitch (and work for free) without knowing it’s a competitive pitch scenario.

you don’t like my rate? completely fine with me, but you get what you pay for.

like triple bidding a freelance producer for a contract job. asking them to put together a budget and production proposals for a project that’s not yet locked. all while not paying them

That’s a Hell no for me dawg

sounded like they were asking folks to fold in their fee within the scope of the project (if they got it)

What is D3?

Do they have their own site? Are D3 employees just listed as “Pepsi” employees on linked in? Kind of interesting.

I heard rumors that C+K did that too. I’d say hard pass.
