Fortunately, things have been relatively quiet at The Company That Eats Your Soul this week. Busy, but quiet, and no word from Dumb or Dumber.
Well. I was asked if I would like to do a specific assignment. I said, yes, I was interested.
How much would I charge?
I named my price.
I got an email stating that the person in charge of this assignment had talked to "your boss" (now, that really hurts; I don't HAVE a boss, and if I did, Dumber would NOT be it), and that my real price was the one given below.
What did the person in charge do?
Sent me a list of people available to do this work, and the amounts they are given for it.
In case you're wondering about the significance of this, I just received proof of how much I am paid for this type of work, and what other people are paid for it. Oh, guess what? We aren't all paid the same! Imagine that! Hey, looky here - someone else is paid two and a half times as much for that type of work as I am! Gee! And they keep coming to me, asking me to do it!
The person in charge asked me if I'm still interested in the job.
I asked why other people are paid more than I am, for the same work.
She's been very quiet since then.
