Top 10 Ways To Be A Shitty Client

August 20, 2024
  1. Fire us when you owe us backpay and get mad we aren’t working on your project.
  2. Have your spouse, family or buddies repeatedly ask for free favors, advice or help.
  3. Panic about “what is going on” after continually missing meetings, calls and reports. Forget the plans you agreed to and ignore your responsibilities.
  4. Blame us for something you did. Then act horrified in front of your other team members (or worse, a spouse or loved one) in order to save face.
  5. Your manager goes behind your back and tells us not to move forward with an agreed-upon plan, leaving you to think we are the ones who dropped the ball.
  6. Edit and filter your content and then deny it. Delete a controversial post in an attempt to make it go away.
  7. Create fake profiles to secretly argue with people.
  8. Communicate only on nights and weekends, and expect us to jump, even when it’s not an emergency.
  9. Ignore confidentiality or non-solicitation agreements.
  10. Read a blog or talk to a “guy” your friend says is a social media guru, then forward us a long-winded email, signing off with “Thoughts?”
