How do you go about dropping a client? Also open to advice if you would take a different route.

I have a client that pops up every few months asking for a contract to be drafted. It’s easy enough so I do it but she is a very annoying client. I will send her a proposal and engagement letter with my price and every time she will ask for a discount. I’ve said no in the past and she’s gone as far as to ask if I can “review and revise” at a reduced rate.

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

I have been in an awkward reporting structure for 2.5 years. On record I’ve reported to the VP of Marketing, who was crazy toxic, and technologically inept. I’m a senior website manage and she had no interest in my role. She shirked me off to also report to her two directors, PR and Call Center. Needless to say, that’s been a difficult situation for me. She’s gone and the new VP starts tomorrow. Any guidance on how to ensure this ends with the incumbent VP?
