| Freelancers Have You Been Ripped Off... by Chuky7(op): 1:18pm On Jun 18, 2020 |
Freelancers have you ever been ripped off your work... Whether be it not been paid full or what you agreed on or not being paid at all... Am talking about those who do one time gigs like write movie scripts. Website designers. Graphic designers. Story publishers... There was this one time I did a work for a European(I think Italian) we linked via a freelance site(cant remember the name, the site is dead now). Well I agreed on doing the work. It was going to take me a week... To keep it short I finished it on time(in 5 days, since I was totally free at that time) only for baba Italian to let me know that he will not be paying what we agreed on. I asked what the matter was, maybe he didn't like how the work was done. He said no that it was better than he imagined... I was confused. He then told me that I finished up too early meaning it was an easy task, so he doesn't have to spend that much... I had to change it for him...I tried to let him know if that's how things are done over there. He spat at in rage too and blocked me on our medium of communication... Well that was it...I was upset for the rest of the week but glad I at least got part of what we agreed on... I do think that you are likely to face less problems from foreigners than locals as a freelancer...Yes a few of them have loose screw but the others outweigh them... Just be cautious and apply good principles and practices while working as a freelancer... 3 Likes |

Chuky7:Okay. In your context(web dev) the platform means where the codes run on. For front end dev the platform is the web browser and others maybe, while for back end is web severs. |
