Dear Annie: After losing my job in 2011, when my department was eliminated in a restructuring, I decided to go out on my own and do web design and SEO consulting on a freelance basis. It's been great, except for one big problem. Over and over, I do the work, the client is happy with it, everything's cool, but I end up waiting and waiting to get paid -- and, in a couple of cases, have not been paid at all despite repeated, polite reminders.
亲爱的安妮:2011年的公司重组撤掉了我所在的部门,我也因此丢掉了饭碗。我决定自谋职业,做一名自由职业者,提供网页设计和SEO咨询服务。这种工作模式很不错,但是有一个大问题。很多时候,客户对我的工作非常满意,一切都进展得很顺利。但是在最后结账时,我却得一等再等。有些时候,尽管我反复委婉地提醒对方,但有些活我最终还是没能拿到报酬。
I've been lucky enough to get most of these gigs through my network of friends, and friends of friends, so I don't want things to get nasty. (For example, I really don't want to take anybody to court.) But I have bills and expenses like everyone else, so the suspense over when, or whether, I'll get paid is making me crazy. Is this a common problem for freelancers, or am I doing something wrong? Do you have any suggestions? — Broke in Boston
我能通过朋友和朋友的朋友获得大多数工作,这一点非常幸运。所以,我不想把事情弄糟。(例如,我真的不想把任何人告上法庭。)但是,和所有人一样,我需要支付各类账单。总是担心付款时间以及能否付款,这几乎把我逼疯了。这是自由职业者面临的普遍问题吗?还是我哪些地方做错了?对此您有什么好的建议吗?—— B.B.
