Let go of a direct client
Hi! Just wanted to get this off my chest.
So last week of April I got a direct client from OLJ. Offer was 5usd/hr with salary adjustment after 3 months.
They told me to purchase vpn, they recommended a certain app and I subscribed for 1 yr given they will reimburse it.
May 19 na and until now onboarding pa rin, nagkakaproblema pa rin sa pagaccess ng microsoft accounts saying na restricted by admin. EMR was ECW and the vpn that they recommended doesn't work. Turns out it requires dedicated static ip address. And now they're asking me to buy one which offers it and need ko ulit magabono ng around 150 usd.
I am pregnant as well kaya grinab ko yung opportunity kahit alam kong ang baba ng offer. This is part time only on top of my main client. Nagooverthink ako that time kaya ko naisipan magkuha ng part time pa, kahit sinabihan naman na ako na wag na.
Anyway, because of these hurdles, I decided to back out nalang. Parang wala pa yung work itself naiistress nako. Nanghihinayang pa rin ako syempre pero wala, ayoko na rin mastress 🥹 hinayaan ko nalang rin yung unang vpn na pinurchase ko.
