Had one of those "laugh so you don't cry" moments today. Client approved a design, then reversed their decision two hours later, wanting the exact opposite. How do you deal with this kind of whiplash?

Guess the “real” client above them decided to have a say.

There it is.

That would be testing my patience and dedication to keep my job. Lol. Just being half-way done and suddenly learn that client wants to change it and have to start another design is already infuriating. Much more when you thought you have everything settled.

Overages.

Just charge them extra for your time. Simple as that. Don’t give away free hours. You don’t ask them for fun.

Clients gonna client. It's the job.

They finally showed it to the person they had been avoiding showing it to. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I find one of my clients breathtakingly gorgeous. I'm married so would never act on it, but it's noticeable enough to impact my behavior. I.e. this person doesn't have a ton of budget to spend with me, but I find myself going out of my way to help them because just wow

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?
