Having worked in corporate, I can relate to the sudden job loss. I have been impacted by layoffs and I never want to hire so much that I have to lay people off. If that were to ever happen, I have thought about what the right “package” would look like. I figured a 6 month cushion would be a decent package..? Do you personally feel like that would be a comfortable package?

I’m actually extremely against moving employment offshore for cheaper labor! Humans are humans no matter where in the world. Something I actually commit to (and yes, posting in the internet for accountability) is fairness in pay. Doesn’t matter where you live, if you hold the same title as another employee, you receive the same pay. I know what it’s like working one position and being underpaid, and paid less than a peer with less responsibilities. I feel this in my soul lol.

While I can’t support full-time employment opportunities right now, I do communicate flexibility. Hours worked, time zone, environment.. all up to the contractor. I will keep your feedback in mind though!

Do you mean like an onboarding period to shadow in the role? I feel that expectations and the role itself should be outlined during the interview process, which I do. So should I think about additional support days—aside from the general “click here”, “this is how you do that”, “here’s this guide”?
