Agreed.

An exception is when you are working as a freelancer it sometimes pays off to over-deliver. A client may ask for a certain amount of content but may change their mind and want more when they are offered quality extras. If a product developer sees a chance to sell more products they are inclined to do so as far as their budget allows.

"Disagree! As a freelancer, your time and effort should be valued and compensated accordingly. Over-delivering sets unrealistic expectations and can lead to burnout. Know your worth and stick to your boundaries." #FreelancerLife #QualityOverQuantity 🌟💪🏼

Absolutely. It all depends on the relationship you have with your contractor and how much time you have available. In same cases it makes sense to over-deliver and in others it doesn't.

Yea it's definitely different when you're in business for yourself or even just when you know that added effort is likely to generate sales/bonuses/commission/etc. I'm talking above about hourly/salaried jobs where there's no benefit to you if you do extra work.
