I just lost a client on the Christmas Day.
I'm a social media manager that's why Im required to report everyday. So I asked if I could spend my time with my family. He insisted and said he cannot work with me. Hahaha. I'm sorry but the reason why I entered freelancing is because I have to spend more time with my family especially my 4 months old baby. I felt bad because he cannot understand. Wala atang Christmas hahaha kulang sa aruga. Anyway, advice ko lang never choose work over your family.

True! Defeats the purpose of working from home. You'll get a more considerate client I'm sure.

Ok lang yan. May iba pang darating para sayo. Mas importante mag spend time with family over work.
I admire you for knowing your true priorities mommy. :) I'm a mom of 2 babies at agree ako na kaya nga natin pinili ng homebased freelancing para makapag spend ng time sa family. I believe you've made the right decision. Wishing you can get another better opportunity sa mas mabait at caring na client. 😊
Sorry to be a debbie downer but we should not label them as "kulang sa aruga" or "di lab ng mama nya", maybe it just so happens they do not celebrate Christmas, so the "show" must go on. Anyway, good for us freelancers we are able to choose, and assert, our own sched. Unless it is not stipulated in your contract that you must be available 7days a week or must meet the weekly hours qouta, there's no issue really. We can let go, and find another project! Merry Christmas!
sa totoo lang hindi lang naman sa usapan ng pasko at bagong taon yan... kasi ang client/freelancer relationship parang boyfriend/girlfriend lang din yan... kung hindi kayo swak... need nyo mag part ways... I had a client dati... mabait... kaso magkaiba talaga kami ng ways... hindi kami magpangabot kaya ayun... pinakawalan ko.... sabi nga "not meant to be". wahahahha
I agree. May nga clients tlgng ganyan. Nga slave driver. Not your lost anyway. Rather, it’s an opportunity for you to find the right one.
Maybe di talaga sila nag cecelebrate ng Christmas? Kaya siguro hindi nila maintindihan yung cultural significance ng Christmas para sainy., if they cannot see na importante and Christmas para sainyo, then it's not meant to be.
Faced the same dillema maski premium client kapa kung toxic ka naman aba'y we can part ways hindi tayo bati tseh! 😂
Good for you ..d nwalan at bbalik din sau yan mas mgnda ang plano ni Lord sau..God bless and HAPPY new year..
True. Family first. I used to have 5 clients. 2 full times and 3 part times. I was earning 6 digits monthly pero grabe din ang struggle, I cant even sleep properly and dont have much time with my family. Nagtatampo minsan si hubby. So yun, I decided to retain my 2 clients yung long term ko na clients and remove the other 3. Makahappy lang. I am earning less pero I have more time with them. ❤ Makakahanap ka din ng other client na mas mabait.
Sobrang blessed ko sa client ko. 2 Christmas na ko with him and during holiday season, ineextend nya ang deadlines ko para daw may time ako to have fun with my family. I'm sure new opportunities will come your way. Merry Christmas!
Marami kapang client na Mahahanap ❤️ but celebrating christmas with your family is something na napaka importante rin , yaan mo na sya xD d yata sya lab ng mama nya 🤣 xD
Kung ako nasa sitwasyon mo, I'll adjust accordingly, dika naman 24 hours magwowork diba?basically 8 hours lang diba? May 16 hours kapa para mag adjust on Christmas Day. Always think of a WIN-WIN SOLUTION. Panu kung hindi ka ka agad makahanap ng kapalit? HIndi ganun kadali mag-apply alam mu yun. Being ADAPTABLE is kelangan bilang freelancer. Panu kung birthday ng anak mo, bday mo, ng nanay mo, ng tatay mo, ng asawa mo, o any occasion na sobrang halaga sayo at hindi ka rin payagan? Resign ba lagi ang magiging solution mo dun? Your work is a blessing, just like your baby, so learn to balance it, and not putting priorities. Hindi po ako galit or nega na tao, haha, just saying lang po.
That's too bad. Swerte ko na lang siguro kasi yung clients ko they understood what family time means and let ne have a break for Christmas and New Year!
in other country, 25Dec is just another ordinary day, unlike Thanksgiving and Halloween na talagang sine-celebrate nila.
Happy to see this kind of posts to better understand how it is different working as a corp slave. Flexibility and suitability are also important din pala sa freelancing. Hoping that one day I can also pursue this para ma achieve ko naman yung ibang goals ko in life hindi yung nagpre pretend ako na may "work-life balance" coz in reality it is just an imagination. Happy holidays po sa lahat! 🥰
