Love all this free work I do for the people here.
Recently the head of the local police contacted me if I could make an emblem/logo to put on their uniforms and cars and because what they had in mind seemed very simple I said sure and had about 20 measley euros in mind for the price cause all the components I had already and just had to add text but still I was putting it together in vector format plus they’re fucking loaded, they can handle paying 20 euros.

However, he then comes to me saying they talked about it with my boss, the mayor, that supports the police financially, so technically my boss commissioned me and because he did it’s within my contract so I don’t get paid over my salary.

I still worked on it outside working hours so I’m marking it down for my overtime hours jsjs.

In contrast to that, a local non-profit organisation also contacted me for a logo but they had the balls to commission me themselves and not have my boss tell me to do it for free and I’m actually getting paid.
