Thank you all for your supportive and honest comments. I guess I should just let it go and move on. My communication with the PMs I worked with was always on a professional but personal level, discussing the current projects and working together so I had the feeling we've built a good and strong working relationship. As it was advertised as a freelance position that will at least require 25 hours per week (which it was until now) I have prioritised them which has now come back to haunt me. I have learnt my lesson and will, as some of you already said, not focus so much on one client anymore.


I only reserve time 1) if I have a PO or the files and project confirmation in lieu of a PO 2) there is no 2...

I can count in the dozens of times regular 'we need X hours of availability a week' dries up after a few months - usually when whatever backlog of translation is taken care of (website, employee handbook, etc.) and all they need after is updating.
