Sigh.. the wretched grey areas of our lives. I personally think it's both parties responsibility but you should take the reins if you get off track. Don't be scared to speak up a little. Originally Posted by Tracy Auburn+1

If you come to an appointment and stay (way over) your time, do you compensate the lady for the extra time you stayed?
If I ask for the additional time, as in, "If you don't have anyone scheduled after me I would love to stay another hour" then I would. As in we both get caught up in the happenings and/or conversation and oooops..... it's been an hour extra,.,,, No.... You are the professional. Remind me when it is time unless a lot of my time was wasted in conversation upon arrival.
I am not talking about 10 to 20 or even 30 minutes here. I am talking over an hour and beyond. My clients are NOT stupid. T
Also, if I am chatty, I do not factor that into my hourly rate. I do not count it. That usually means I am enjoying myself immensely & do not mind. I will even tell a man so. So this not the issue for me.
Let me just say, I am no clock watcher to begin with. I like to have fun and let things happen organically, but I also do not like my time taken advantage of either. No one does. It seems like quite a delicate balancing act lately.
I clearly have it on my ettique page that I feel it is a man's responsibility to keep up with his time.
Don't assume we read that shit. Most guys think.... "boobies... pretty..me fuck..."
My reasoning for this is that we are not supposed to discuss money. I hate discussing money. It is a mood killer and can also get you into trouble, in more ways than one.
Like I said, I really do not care about 10 to 20 minutes here or there or if I initiate a conversation, I do not count that...BUT over staying by as much as hr or two even 3 and saying oh sorry I only brought the original donation amount, for example, when you know you are way over staying, is just bad form.
Most of the gentleman that see me do their research on me and know what to expect. They are pretty bright people, so I can not help but feel my time has been taken advantage of lately. Perhaps
Have I said something to the client(s)? Yes, but it is a very akward position to be in.
I hate to rush and don't like watching the clock. It is a date, but at the same time... their are rates and boundaries for a reason.
Thoughts anyone? Originally Posted by Scarlett Rossi

I have experienced overtime (< 30 minutes) where I thought it was a mutual decision only to be chastised later; and a situation where I was encouraged not to leave many times after the scheduled time had passed.
If I encouraged someone to stay or voiced it was okay than it's okay. I would not take issue. That is just silly.
Hours of unwanted overtime is callous and warrants taking the reins and whip if necessary. Originally Posted by saustin
