Don’t be a Grinch! Here are 7 things you should NOT do to freelancers this holiday season: 🎄 Paying us past the due date — On-time payments are a sign of trust and respect. 🎄 Scheduling last-minute meetings — Respect our time; freelancers juggle multiple clients! 🎄 Asking for a quote then ghosting — If you’re not interested, just let us know. Transparency goes a long way! 🎄 Requesting free advice or services — Our expertise is valuable, just like yours. 🎄 Terminating contracts before the holidays — It’s a rough time of year for sudden income changes. 🎄 Piling on additional responsibilities outside of scope — Clear boundaries keep our projects running smoothly. 🎄 Assuming we’re always online — Freelancers need breaks too. The holiday season is for rest and prepping for the new year, not round-the-clock work. Treat your freelancers with kindness—we worked hard to deliver for your business this year! 🎁✨ #Freelancers
