Question to all: what do you do in the event of a scope creep client? The kind where something doesn’t feel right.
Do you leave the contract? If you stick through, why? What’s your advice to other designers?
**for context, just had this issue and I left the contract. But I wanted to see what other creators thought about these situations.
@Daisy Bell it really depends. Lately I’ve been leaning to leaving to not deal with extra bull#shit. But that’s after speaking and bringing it to the clients attention and if they just ignore my feedback
@Daniel G Bright thank you for your insight. Kind of what happened to me :/
@Daisy Bell Yeah don't feel bad about it - people wont respect your boundaries until you do. What I learned a lot from the bigger names in the game is that they will not deal or take any disrespect, they will not play with it either. They will pick their stuff and walk away - so that is...
@Daniel G Bright that's a good reminder! My people-pleasing brain is currently causing anxiety about it haha .. but then I remind myself that I'm just reaffirming a healthy work environment for myself so 🤷♀️
@Daisy Bell I've been trying to solve this problem myself! Usually, I just over-deliver.. but that's not ideal.
