I'd say bill them for four days so if they query it you can say "shoulda been 5, I already gave you a discount". When someone is hiring you you want them to think "That guy @seanc ? He's pricey, but he's worth it"I don't want to seem greedy and I don't want to look like a soft touch either.
I wish you all exactly, and the most, of what you deserve, good or bad, on an individual basis.

Surely you should be billing per game at least? Like, you have to go to a totally different stadium, so it's automatically a different job. I would totally be looking at what you said towards the end there, two games and a derig Saturday, one game and derig Sunday. That's what you should be getting for it, for sure - if you're op-ing during match then that's totally different job from derig and worth just as much.Today was pretty rough. it didn't have to be, but the weekend was so full on that when I went back to my normal work I was a bit out of sorts. A 2pm start time, I nearly slept in and didn't have time to get food or anything. I struggled. Also, my wrist is still nowhere near fixed, though I may have found a way to get the lazy lads feel useful, I pick something up and then go "I can't carry this, you carry it". They are much keener to help when I grimace in pain than when I call them cunts. Funny that.
Anywho, the footy work is over for the season. So three games and two full de-rigs over the weekend. It was exhausting. Grafting and lugging is grand. Grafting and lugging AND being responsible for stuff that you don't fully understand, and with a variety of people around who seem to want to make your life harder, is a very different animal.
Me and the boss walked into the pub here just before closing. The barman said "I was going to close early, but you two really look like you need a drink". That was our end of season party, two pints and bed.
But the main thing that I want to ASK ADVICE OF THUMPED about is: I don't have a written contract really, and how they pay their PAYE staff, and their various freelancers is as varied as there are circumstances. But not one of us know how to bill them exactly. I could bill them for OT, which would be an extra half days pay for 2 hours extra work, or I could bill them for two full days, each day, i.e. double pay. I could push for Saturday to be two games and a derig, then bill for one game and derig for Sunday. Five days pay in two, but that won't happen.
It's all good, because more money. But I don't want to seem greedy and I don't want to look like a soft touch either.

I would bet dollars to doughnuts this is a ladyi note you assumed it was a woman. i think you need some DEI training.
She didn't get canned, just quitting to do something elseHoly fuck. That is burn your bridges shit.
What's the backstory on her getting canned?

Yes, a woman. Our DEI department is all women except, naturally, the boss
Honestly I'd say DEI is a tough career. You go into it thinking you're gonna change the world, and probably attach way too much personal importance to the outcome of your work
Major dude behaviourI think i'd skip the goodbye email in favour of logging out
Maybe they’re disabled and have more right to be in there than you. JUST SAYING.Someone has been destroying the toilet (like leaving shit on the seat) in the handicap jacks cubicle (my favoured cubicle) to the point where I've left a sort-yourself-out note in there
Passive aggressive cunt that I am
