Yeah, looking at well over €1000 now. Which is good! I think.

I did some quick research and came to the conclusion that charging per word is my best bet at the moment as I have no metrics to base a per hour charge off of. I'm going to set my prices around the average of the big proofreading houses (so around £0.01 per word below 30 000) which is, as far as I can see, still cheaper than your average freelancer proofreader, and we'll see where we go from there. I still have no idea how long the job is so I imagine they'll be some wiggle room too.

Surely that's the director strawberry floating up. Unless the new manager lied through her teeth during the interview process they should have known roughly what to expect.

I've been acting like I always have, been doing more tickets than anyone again and working at a high standard and today I got pulled into my bosses office and given 1 step off of a disciplinary (a letter of concern) because I've been waiting for everyone to have lunch to go so we don't leave the desks unmanned and because I have an attitude problem.
Not one person has ever said I've had an attitude problem. I don't understand anything about this company. I'm just at a complete loss of words.
