I used to be hired virtually all the time by a producer who sent me all over the world, so worked very hard and was always grateful.<br /><br />But then the phone stopped ringing about three years ago and it took a few months to find out why. She had found a new guy in Atlanta and, ostensibly to save money, just started hiring him over me.<br /><br />Two things about that:<br /><br />1. She had actually told me about him a few months earlier and literally said to me, "I wish he could spend the day with you on set so he can see how you do it."<br /><br />2. And she has the right to hire anyone she wants, but didn't even bother to reach out and say something like, "My budgets are being cut so I can't afford to send you, but if you agree to work as a local in Georgia, then I can continue to hire you."<br /><br />But no phone call or email or anything. Just cut off with no explanation. That was probably 75% of my business. <br /><br />It makes us, as "employees," realize how uncertain it is to rely on others for income, so I've worked hard to move out of that arena to become "my own boss" so I'm never put in this position again.
