Had to send an Associate home once because he fell asleep on client site - needless to say we didn’t “fire” him until after he got back home

If you’re traveling for work on schedule, work should cover it as a work expense. It’s not like they cancel your return.

Yeah, you’re in that city on behalf of your organization, they better get you home, otherwise they may be at risk of a lawsuit. If something somehow bad happened to you in the process of trying to get home, that would end up costing them way more than your flight.

I have never done freelance work and was given the opportunity to take part in a cool project. My problem is it’s a proactive case by a brand new agency and it’s their own project, meaning there’s no client who pays for the work. For them it’s PR for their new business, but I think they’re expecting me to work completely pro bono. It does have potential for a great case and I’d love to have it in my portfolio, but is it reasonable for them not to compensate me? Any tips on how to approach this?
