Very Important

[b2768545]

hello, I'm developing a game with one of the freelancers, 2 days ago he said he would go on vacation on Monday, and he had to upload all the game's source code so that we could continue with the development with someone else until he would return, but so far he hasn't uploaded the game's development source code.

he is ukrainian maybe it is due to the war that is going on in his country

but anyway I would like the platform to try to call him and say that I sent him a message in his chat.

Upwork won't and should not call him.

In this situation, it would be best to stay patient and wait for his response.

Danilo:
Upwork isn't going to call freelancers on your behalf.

You should decide right now:
"I am the client. I have all the power I need. I will never ask Upwork to intervene with freelancers on my behalf."

I am very sorry about what is going on with Ukraine.

You need to decide right now if you are serious about your project.

If you are serious about your project, then you need to hire other people to work on this.

You need to have more than one person on your team.

You need to hire people who don't live in Ukraine, and who don't live in Russia.

And then assign those people the work that needs to be done.

If the Ukrainian freelancer contacts you, then you can resume assigning work to him.

But if you want to get your project done, you can't rely on one person who is not responding to your messages.

I would tell you the same thing if I was the freelancer you hired.

This isn't about Ukraine.

This is about project management.

I appreciate the attention and concern with my case, but I'm glad the freelancer is doing well and so is his family, he managed to get in touch with me and we managed to align everything he needed
