Client: “Your work has been wonderful, but we have reevaluated our finances and simply can’t keep you on. If we have any further work for you in the future, we will absolutely let you know!”

Me: “I’m sorry about your finances. Since we didn’t have a long-term contract, I won’t ask for severance. Thank you for your recommendation while I look for more work; I appreciate that.”

Client: “No problem. If you need to reach us within the next month, just email. You won’t be able to reach us on the phone; we’ll be in Hawaii.”
