I work for a niche company that is in the renewable energy but also O&G space. I work in the latter part of the firm. Our head of electric transport, so essentially the bro who leads our EV charging team, spent about an hour in a meeting yesterday trying to convince us that Elon Musk would personally take his phone call and partner on a few of our initiatives for the future. I know I shouldn’t give it much of a second thought, but I can’t believe how naive some people are in this space.

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
