Hello all
There is one client who I really hate working with. He demands stuff and when I try and negotiate the terms feels its an affront that I do.
Recent example: He offer £40 p/h for me to be at his "beck and call" (his words not mine) for a powerpoint project which will require an urgent turnaround. I wrote back saying this was fine but if he requires me to working in the evenings or pass midnight then the charges will have to increase to £45/£60 p/h respectively. He is very patronising and have always butted heads with him over the years I have known him. I have always been accomodating (one project he hasnt come back to me in four months - small project but I have just remained patient and professional).
I have good working relationships with all my clients except this one. His email said I was “Given an inch and took a mile”. I only wanted to provide some realistic parameters.
I think I will drop him as a client. Am I being unreasonable?
