But what I really really hate most about what I do is to have to chase and some times beg for payment after the job's done and complete. And I'm someone who hates to ask for money even if I'm perfectly justified to do so.
When we're in the middle of the project, the client calls like every other hour and expect things delivered like we're some super human-being with more hours in the day than others.
However, the moment's work's completed and when payment's due, the clients are suddenly uncontactable or evasive.
I just don't understand why this has to be the case.
The best thing about it is we are generally expected to give at least a 30 day (sometimes 60 days) credit term to our clients. Mind you, the clients we deal with are mega multi billion corporations like Nokia, HP, Sony Ericsson and yet, these multi billionaires expect my teeny tiny $2 paid up company to FINANCE each and every project out of our own pocket. What kinda logic is that?
Despite already giving them more than 30 days for their retarded accounts department to process our invoice, I still have to hound and beg them for payment!
Sometimes, AFTER waiting through the 30days, the reply i get is "oh sorry we misplaced your invoice, can you send it again?"
THEN I'm expected to wait ANOTHER 30 days for the "new" invoice to be processed!
Geeze
