I just started as a freelance PMM that works part-time, replacing a full time team member. Any suggestions on how I can keep me boundaries? I see this easily becoming a full time role on a part time salary - that would NOT be cool since I’m not an hourly employee

Do you want to remain part time or are you willing to go full time i if that was offered to you?

For the right money, I’ll go full time.

This might sound basic but you can start by letting your coworkers know you’re unavailable after work hours and stick to it unless there’s an emergency, which will condition you to avoid overworking and extending your hours unnecessarily

That’s a fair point. But shouldn’t my manager be setting those expectations with the team? Why’s that on me as a freelancer to clarify?

How did you structure your project scope with them? Is it a contract role or are you a contractor with a retainer?

It’s a value based retainer, they pay monthly

For some reason I can’t reply to your comment to mine, so I have to reply separately, but yes, they’re supposed to set and honor the hours you’re given, however there’s an increasing number of employers who think their employees will work overtime with no regards to work/life balance, which means it will be on every employee to set firm boundaries and let them know that’s unacceptable

It’s a “value based retainer” which means I have to deliver whatever they have outlined … but as we know, things in product marketing aren’t as cut and dry
