Reposting for visibility
When I reblogged the post this was replying to, it didn’t show in the tags or notes as the confession blog preemptively blocked me. This is in response to this confession post which was grossly incorrect. I’m reposting so it’s visible in several tags, so as to provide the truthful side of what actually occurred.
here’s the actual story, from calix
Leef made a mistake by pricing colorations at $14 each. That was a mistake that I pointed out. Literally no sites ever pay that much for just basic colorations. Evocality didn’t even pay that much, and it was still way too much for just colorations. I talked to Leef about this, and said how this price point was terrible for actually making a big number of colorations. So we lowered the price point, and let artists set their own prices. Nobody, to my knowledge, is doing them for $4. Our current pay prices vary from $5 to $10+, depending on the artist’s personal choices. As of right now, unless I’m mistaken, all artists have been paid in full for their work.
Juke, who made this blog/confession, joined our team at, I believe, $3 per item. After we lowered the overall prices for pet colorations, Juke demanded to be paid $5, the price they are paid on some other petsite, for their items. We refused as this price is, to be frank, ridiculous for items. We hired on @reviro at $3.50 per item, at a much much higher quality than Juke’s items. We literally never expected Juke to do work at a price point that they felt was unfair to them. It was not pushed in any way. We offered that we could pay you MORE than your initial rate that YOU set($4 rather than your initial agreement of $3), and you declined. So we let you go, and you left with some obvious anger and salt that has overflowed here, and onto Aywas. I’m sorry you’re bitter over this, but that’s no excuse to spread hurtful lies.
