This is probably a recession indicator, but my husband (not on the ‘bowl) has an in-house gig, copy, 18 hours/month at $120/hour. Not a huge sum. But they don’t pay on time, for the second month in a row. 35 days after delivery - nothing. It’s driving us crazy. He’s spoken to the lead client and they say the accountant is “working on it”. He’s been out of work for awhile so this money matters, and it’s insane to me that you can take someone’s time and not pay them on time. That’s all, folks!

Friendly reminder folks- don’t work for Havas Health and You. They cut the freelancers hourly rates, again and made it so there’s no OT. The resource manager at HOV said if I couldn’t swing $80 an hour as an HCP copywriter, she’d have to find someone else. Good luck 👍🏻
