So the New Bill fines employees who pay late.
They need a bill or fine to protect freelancers from harm because of people who don’t like them after they have done the hardest leg work so just get rid.

Freelancing was hard enough but when you are at the mercy of someone else’s irrational decisions it’s even harder and unfair.

There were 2 occasions in my career that shocked me.

1. I was told I am being removed because someone who ‘does more work’ than me wants to move from 3 days a week to 5 and they said if they don’t get 5 they will walk.

My Stakeholders liked the commitment and effort I gave but because i proactively created a methodology and strategy towards their problems I was deemed a threat.

For Context, I saved the project and worked til late hours unraveling other people’s botched work.
I just got an email saying exactly that and please leave by this date.
I lost a years work

2. A Data Engineer was messing things up a project and covering up by amending my work to fix his. He kept blaming me to the client. Everyone knew I delivered above and beyond from discovery to phase 1.
The Director said for Phase 2 they want a different team because the Data Engineer wanted to move project because he got caught out.
I lost 6 months work
