I just want to vent, see if others can relate, advice, etc.
At the end of a gig when it is no longer in my agreed time and I am not getting paid the person hiring often expects me to not only clean up and strike my own things but THEIR things or others as well. The audience left a mess so I have to clean despite not being paid for it. They want me to move equipment to their car. Etc. It’s annoying. Pay me extra or hire someone else.
I did a job for a client who was also a very nice aquaintence that I worked with previously. I executed the job but had some errors which were corrected. She paid for the work but has ghosted me since. I am a bit bittered because she just completely ignored me but at the same time I feel bad for not doing a good job. I feel compelled to just issue her a full refund at my own accord because I don't feel right accepting her money if she is not happy with my work. Will I come off offensive or negative in any way as I don't want to create drama. I just sincerely feel bad and don't feel like I earned the money.
