I've not done freelance for a long time, but have been doing consultancy. In my experience unless you have a stakeholder prepared to chase the parties on their side this is an all too common occurrence. I now try and schedule meetings with fewer people for less time, but perhaps more often or regularly (if that's needed if the client is difficult to schedule).
Even if 2 out of the meeting of 4 pulls out, I'd try to continue with the meeting and tell them that it would be good to catch up with what we can, and schedule the another smaller meeting with the other individual(s). Often as a freelancer having meeting was more about reassuring them that their concerns were being met. But as people say your contract and your situation is always unique. regards, Preet, in Auckland NZ On 22 October 2015 at 23:16, DotNet Dude <[email protected]> wrote: > I've been dicked around plenty and it still happens, over and over. > Depends on your contract as others have said but also on how many times > they've screwed you around.
