Hi, I'm just looking for some advice on whether I did the right thing by sending this email through...
I work as a part-time virtual PA and have no sickness or holiday pay - just 10pounds an hour with a very flexible schedule that allows me to work around my son avoiding the need for childcare. Its a great job and I'm very happy doing it. As well as that I have been working as a Freelance Designer where I am paid more than 4 times as much on a short term contract.
Last night my boss asked me to send through a 'couple of mock-up ideas' for a logo for another Company (not his own). My immediate reaction was to say that I am not prepared to do that for 10pounds an hour - but I don't want to sound rude or arrogant and really don't want to upset him as I really need my job.
I wrote back the following email today-
'I've done some very quick ideas. this for a Graphic Designer to take on and finish? Is it for a new business of yours? Normally I would charge more for a Design job like this I would charge 25pounds an hour so if you want it to be professional and final then I would normally have to charge more. For instance the logo design plus design of a business card for my brothers Company was 150 pounds.'
Hope this is ok and prob should have posted here first but just curious to know whether you think this was a reasonable answer. Thank you!
