Your bad hires are your fault
I have no say in the matter
Same place where you flag the agencies that don’t pay on time or pay ridiculous rates.
Here on fishbowl I guess. Or on LinkedIn if you want to go there but you'll probably just end up looking worse than the person you want to flag.
If you’re making a list of “bad freelancers,” start by checking whether your team actually gave them direction, process, or basic clarity. Some of you are still using Photoshop instead of Figma and Figma instead of InDesign. Garbage in, garbage out. That’s not a freelancer problem. That's a you problem.
Friendly fire alert
Don’t do that.
Can I get my back interest for delivering on time and getting paid months late?
If you need to get it off your chest, the most productive way is to bring it to said freelancer you have beef with. And remember, it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it.
Can the freelancers call out all the hours that have been stolen from them and all the deadbeat agencies who routinely avoid, delay or simply refuse to pay them for services rendered?
Often it comes down to the hours contracted and the disorganization of the agency/client that burns them and doesn’t want to pay for more. And also some freelancers are bad.
Did you have a brief? Did the brief clearly articulate all the mandatories and all the deliverables? Was the brief signed?
Often it comes down to the hours contracted and the disorganization of the agency/client that burns them and doesn’t want to pay for more. And also some freelancers are bad.
Ironically I found that the worst freelancers are the ones who do it as a hobby and not for a career. If your bills are covered either way it’s not pressing work… for them
