Healthcare/Tech. A couple of clients are doing poorly, so one imposed a monthly cap and another negotiated a reduction of my flat monthly to cover them, so it’s nearly the same work, but for less. The incremental work of learning a separate client is much more than just doing a few hours more for an existing one, so the cap is a bummer.
