It’s kinda like that in post too - I hear my rate is too high. Then I get called in to ‘fix’ the edit of the junior editor they hired for cheaper ... and if they’d just hired me in the first place I could have done it faster and they would have saved money overall 🤷🏻♀️
EIP1: But us freelancers have zero benefits - so we HAVE to make more $$$ to pay for health, dental and contribute to our 401k’s. Plus we have to pay quarterly taxes. It’s no bed of roses.
Sorry - I am now a freelancer myself (i was speaking about the recent past). I didn’t know then, what I know now. I completely understand the discrepancy - however, when you first see it. It does bring some ire
That describes my last gig exactly. Lay off experienced producers and replace with kids. Even though it takes two kids for one role. And when the sh&t hits the fan, bring in a freelance EP. Good times.
Wow. That’s exactly what happen in my former place of employment....and not to add fuel to this fire, but seeing how much those freelancers were making comparatively- ooh, that made me more mad.
Not to mention, clients think they are paying for roles that are not being assigned to the projects- so the work suffers by being 1- understaffed and 2- a mess because inexperienced employees are running projects. At the end of the day- when you wonder why work is mediocre, this is why.
