The Invisible Tax of Vague Contracts
from Women Who Don't Apologise · host Patricia Haywood
Three weeks. Still no payment. And I can’t believe how often this happens from freelancers to CEOs, everyone’s felt the sting of polite silence when the money doesn’t come through. In this episode, I break down the hidden cost of vague contracts: the stress, the sleepless nights, the invisible tax you pay when “we’ll sort it out later” comes back to bite. Clarity might feel sharp in the moment, but vagueness will bleed you dry. Here’s why I’ll take the sting of clear contracts any day and why you need to send that email (without the smiley tone) and demand your money.
