You’re under a contract so that dictates the terms. But even if not, if you’re booked you’re booked. If you were talking about ‘holds’ id feel different.
Yes, true! Holds are a whole different story
Would you want company A to renege on you because they found someone to do it for $400/day? If it was me I’d take the hit then raise my rates for the next gig. But I also agree with the above comment, maybe see if there’s a way you could do both!
It does suck but I do believe it’s best to act in good faith in this situation and treat them like you’d want to be treated.
Continued....Obviously the second offer is much more lucrative, but I want to be fair and loyal to my clients. Any ideas how to manage a situation like this? Thanks!
If you signed a contract with company A, what does the language in that say about terminating it? If you break contract and/or burn bridge with A, do you care?
Is there a way to do both, ie ask company B to delay 1 week so you get all three weeks of work?
Or is there a way to moonlight/work both that over lapping week by burning the midnight oil?
Thanks for replying : ). I'm not even sure if there are any legal ramifications for breaking the contract...I guess it's more about good faith. I did try to see if I could do both and work over the weekend, but understandably neither producer was keen for me to spread myself thin. I guess this will always be the gamble with freelancing...I was just interested in how other people deal with the situation. Thanks! 😀
