"Hey Kyle,
Thanks for the feedback! The more I reflect on this the more I think it is mainly my bad for not asking what they had in mind when they hired me. Just getting my facts a lot clearer next time will probably save me in the…"

"Interesting conundrum. To me, it seems rather telling that you couldn't find a plot or any other paperwork. Even the smallest community playhouses I work in are rather meticulous about keeping a good LW/VW file for each show, so to me, the…"

"Yes, that is true Jason. Ultimately they will hire the people they trust to get the job done I think, even if it costs them more."
Jason R commented on Morgan Loven's blog post Working (not) ON PURPOSE
"I think it's a bit of a cat and mouse game, they know they can pay less and someone will jump at the offer, so why pay you the going rate? That's when you remind them in a show critical situation, who do you want at the console? The kid…"

This post is going to be about working for crappy pay. A couple days ago I got a call from a guy wanting to offer me a job for a week. I'm a freelancer so this is not an ususual length of time for a job offer, what was sort of unusual was that the guy couldn't actually hire me himself.

Where does inspiration come from?
