I’m so done with freelancers being treated like s***. I chased a company for 4 MONTHS for a £250 invoice. It’s not amount the money, it’s about how they treat the people they choose to work with. I’m done with being timid & bullied by “big” companies with terrible admin.
The company in question told me it was because I hadn’t put an invoice number on the invoice. Which obviously I had. Which just makes me think it only reached their finance guy THIS WEEK after months of chasing.
I said to my boyfriend I was just going to “let it go” because I was so tired of chasing after they kept promising to sort it out and he asked me: would a guy just let it go?
It made me think, probably not. Because they’re less scared of looking aggressive & fighting for something they know is right.
We live to fight another day.
I do often think the bigger the company, the worse their accounting department.
If you're wondering: I still haven't been paid. I've sent a new invoice with late fees, so we'll see.
