Since January, nine places owe me money for my work. This includes public universities and media organizations. Both, temples of learning. More than not getting paid, my disappointment emanates from the radio silence to the email, text, phone reminders. #FreelancersInIndia
And trust me, it is very humiliating to keep sending reminders for petty amounts. When you talk about press freedom, do give a thought to the self respect and integrity of the journalists you are engaging for work. #IndependentJournalists
There have been instances in the past when freelancers who demanded timely payments were labelled as troublemakers and not commissioned work again. Do think of the caste-class-gender hierarchies you are building when you expect the freelancers to not remind you of payments #Media
