Managed Mayhem

More Than 99 Billion Cats Herded

I have dealt with every single one of these types of clients before, and have been amazed with how frequently people will expect creative industry folks to do things that they would not ask their mechanic or doctor to do. Why is there a different level of expectation and total lack of respect for the time and talent of designers and developers vs. other professions? Why does it always seem to be a negotiation whenever giving prices? Would you expect your doctor to work on spec?
