Again ... perception. No one can "fire" me, but me. The rooms I work, and the people writing checks are my clients, not my boss.
I agree, Dave. They are MY clients - not my employer. I am Self Employed, so the only person that can fire me is me. I've been self employed since 1975 and enjoyed every minute of it.
Semantics ... Call it what you want, perceive it how you want, but the person writing the check IS your boss ...
If you are working a steady 'gig' or 'job' at a club or NH or whatever and the owner/manager/activity director says "don't come in next week, I've hired someone else", or "I've decided not to use live music", who fired you? did you fire yourself?!?
Sure, you may quit or decide not to continue to play a certain venue, but is that "firing yourself" ?
We may be 'self employed', but we are employed only at the wish of another ...
