[QUOTE="Lisa Lane-Collins, post: 92275, member: 2967"] Re: Employer fair play or foul? Took that job when I was a no skills nobody with nothing but enthusiasm going for me. Stayed there when I got better because I really liked what they were doing for local music and I saw the music happening at a loss. Now that my good will has dissipated, I'm ready to call bullshit on that (but you know, very politely and with due notice). I wouldn't be surprised if they find someone else to do it for $40, a lot of people claiming to be techs, not much work. You're right about the respect going up with the rate though (only figured that out a few months ago). I want me some of that!! :-) On the specifics of the job, it was all very vague really, set up and sound check, up until recently they didn't specify When precisely and it was never attached to a time frame - hence my surprise at the boss laying down the law like that ( I thought we were all friends here).
