When you’re booked for a project in advance (signed contract with rate, start and end date), and then the project gets pushed out... do you bill the days you were initially booked for? My instinct would be to bill some % since I held that time for them but curious what others have done in this situation?

Was it in your contract? Normally I do a 50% kill fee, 100% if it’s the day before. Covid makes things a little tricky though. I had a job get pushed because the California shoot got postponed and I just let that one go. Luckily I picked up some work to cover the in between time.

This is tough. Many times you can’t charge anything. Definitely want to ask up front. Ideally you have it in the contract. Delays are inevitable and unfortunately have a domino affect on all parties.

I have worked with Forbes top companies, for-profits, non-profits, & startups. I consider myself a solver of complex & complicated problems requiring mixed method research & novel solutions. This has led to issues in self-referencing title. I’ve been project manager, data engineer, developer, modeler, analysts, principle DB developer, etc. Most of my w2 work has been from offers of 1099 clients so I am usually asked to define my own title. Any T-shaped data people who run into this?

Hi Fishers,

Wanted a small help,
I recently got an offer from Telstra but in the Offer Letter its written- I am pleased to confirm your new offer of employment with Telstra Global Business Services LLP., an entity within the Telstra Group.

So does it mean that Telstra Services will be providing service to some other client or it provides services to its own product?

Trying out bumble bff. Met a girl for drinks last week and we seemed to hit it off. We mentioned doing something again and coordinating later in the week. I texted her today to ask if she was still interested in doing something this week and she said she was super busy with a huge project and apologized. But she didn’t offer the weekend (which I feel is included in “this week”), didn’t say “lets do another time” or anything like that. Should I take the L and count her as not rly interested 🥲

And to the people who do this... why?

Would it be bad if I join the 2nd role then leave in a few months for the 1st one if I got an offer?
