Working freelance is like being a contractor or a temp. No long term agreement, just day to day employment. you know that going in.

You aren't being shafted, they simply don't require your services any longer.

Should also read "and they do not have the balls to tell you, which is sad" ...

Move on and if they call you back, your rate just went up.

From one freelancer to another I'm sorry to hear what's happening to you. Please PM me a link to your resume. I have a few contacts out that way and I'll see what I can do for you!

Best of luck,
Michael

Michael, thanks for the kind words and offer. I didn't see that you had replied.

Anyway, ION not only raised my salary by 5k, but I will also be getting benefits and everything! I'll just have to finish up a freelance project this Friday and I'm back on board next week.
