TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
One general trend I am getting from many of you is that I should have at
least offered to renegotiate, as Andrew suggested below. I think I will
do so next time.
Perhaps it's not too late. After a respectable period of time (I guess
depending on how long the contract is), you should approach them, remind
them that the rate you are currently getting is significantly less than the
rate initially discussed, and ask them to re-evaluate the rate, based on
your performance thus far. John is right - $1000 a month is significant (and
he was using 4 weeks in a month instead of the usual 4.3, which would have
resulted in a loss of $1,204).
