I brought an Art director/friend onto a gig with me and she’s been terrible — dropping the ball left and right and terrible at communicating. I keep covering for her bad work by comping/ picking up slack because i feel responsible for bringing her onto the project. Is there a polite way to replace her and still keep the gig? Or should I just take a new one?
