To Bail or Not to Bail

It’s rare to have a perfect relationship with a client. They might do small things that bug us, like scrub all of our oxford commas and em-dashes. But there might be other things they do that bother us more: Maybe they don’t listen to your feedback. Or they micromanage or do something that seriously hinders your ability to work. Or their expectations and scope change constantly. It’s all frustrating, but when do you make the choice to bail on a project, and when do you stay? How do you know when you’ve had enough? In this episode, Jenni and Wudan walk through different projects where they’ve strongly considered bailing – or when they really did walk away. They'll also address several letters and voice memos from listeners. We hope these conversations can help guide you the next time you’re faced with a tricky client situation.
