Request in advance that it be a face to face video conference so you can see each other’s faces and reactions (and know that everyone is paying attention). I had a client request that in the past and the meetings were always much more productive as no one was multitasking on the other end of the line.

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?

Can we do 3-4 days WFH from outside India? Any legal/HR compliance? Anyone did that?
Thinking to do from Bali.

After nearly a year WFH and being with my family 24/7, I’m not entirely sure we actually like each other. Or maybe they don’t like me being at home. Or they don’t like me. Probably the latter 😞
