Contract Horror Stories Contest - Win a Shirt!

Posted by Liz Greene

We hear it all the time – Consultants and independent contractors get caught in a tangled web of business contract woes. Seemingly innocuous contracts wreak havoc on your business (or your mental health)!

It’s almost guaranteed that for every horror story you have, another consultant, contractor or freelancer has one they can top it with. Here’s your chance to commiserate.

Did you sign your life away? Give up your intellectual property rights? Did you non-compete yourself out of working for a year? Did you sign in blood so an agency was taking 50% of your bill rate, for LIFE???

Let us know about your worst contract story in the comments below and you might win a prize from MBO Partners!*

If you don’t want to be a victim to a bad contract again, sign up for our Contracts 101 webinar on Tuesday, May 5 at 12:30pm EST. Dave Putt, Vice President of Client Services, has seen the worst of the worst when it comes to contracts and wants to make sure consultants are in the driver’s seat when it comes to contract negotiations.

See, not every horror story has an unhappy ending.

 

 

 


*5 winners will be selected from posted stories by Dave Putt and Liz Greene of MBO Partners, and will be contacted by e-mail.
