If you notice that almost every VA or freelancer ends up with poor ratings from the same client, that’s not a coincidence—it’s a pattern.
⚠️ One bad review vs. a pattern
One bad rating might be a misunderstanding. But if it happens to everyone, chances are the issue is the client, not the freelancers.
⚠️ Unrealistic expectations
Toxic clients often give vague instructions, constantly change requirements, or set impossible standards—then blame the VA for failing.
⚠️ Lack of respect
Consistently giving low ratings shows they don’t value freelancers’ efforts. Instead of guiding and appreciating, they criticize and tear down.
💡 Remember: Low ratings across multiple freelancers usually reveal a toxic client, not poor performance. Protect your energy, spot the red flags, and choose your clients wisely.
