Maybe the pay doesn’t match the effort. Or maybe the client insists on 2 a.m. emails titled “URGENT!!!!” when it’s not. Whatever the reason, parting ways with a client can feel like walking a tightrope between professionalism and self-preservation. With 64 million Americans now freelancing—including 52% of Gen Z and 44% of millennials—client relationships are at the heart of the gig economy. But knowing how to exit gracefully is just…
