@GeorgieR30 That’s the going rate for freelance shifts at some of the national newspapers (hasn’t changed in years) - I gave up doing shifts there. You are taxed at source too on a zero hour contact - completely fucked when Covid hit.
@heawood Ffs - the law needs to change / actually be enforced / be much stricter for freelancers / late payments. I’m really sick to death of companies who know better taking the piss.
@SuzySometimes@Freelance_Beat I say this over & over - it should be a legal requirement to list the salary (or range) on a job description - why waste EVERYONE’S time by not doing so
@SamanthaAnderl Talking about money in general - quoting, invoicing, charging what I’m worth (never)- makes my insides hurt. Not great when you are freelance / self employed as my whole existence relies on this! 😬
Shoot sessions at Sunset Studio in #Peckham Sund 23rd & Mon 24th Oct. 1hr & 2hr slots available - perfect for freelancers, start-ups, Yoga / Pilates Teachers or anyone looking to update their profile pics and content for social media channels or marketing.
@hannahfearn It’s a nightmare and needs reform. I talk to friends in other countries and let can’t fathom how awful our system is. So so stressful. If you put an offer in - it should be a contract /un-refundable deposit
There’s an excellent exhibition on right now @MaudsleyNHS Long Gallery by @KayLockett exploring the themes of #mentalhealth and use of casual slang words used to describe mental health problems that people are experiencing which lead to #Stigma and #Discrimination. #CrazyTalk.
@lottiecgross I’m sorry for your loss Lottie - grief is a strange beast. I just adopted a dog and everyday I am amazed at how intuitive to emotions / situations they are. THEY JUST KNOW
@LucyInTheSky22 Yes - same here - it’s a nightmare - you have to do an Econsult / online form, the doctor then calls you at a random / unspecified time - which I can never answer as at work.
