Nếu bạn 'at liberty' khi làm việc gì, có nghĩa là bạn tự do làm điều đó mà không có bất kì cản trở nào.
Ví dụ
Some companies keep information about salaries confidential and lower rank managers are not at liberty to discuss them.
This is a free country! I’m at liberty to go wherever I like.
Xin lưu ý
Xin đừng nhầm với 'take liberties with something or someone', có nghĩa là lạm dụng quyền để làm điều gì đó.
Don’t take liberty with me, Mr Jones! I am a married woman and the only man allowed to kiss me is my husband.
Thực tế thú vị:
Tượng Nữ thần Tự do trên một đảo ở New York. Tượng cao 93m từ mặt đất đến ngọn đuốc và nặng 225 tấn. Trên vương miện của tượng có 7 cánh, tượng trưng cho 7 châu lục.

Working for free (but working for yourself)
// Seth Godin
Freelancers, writers, designers, photographers--there's always an opportunity to work for free.
There are countless websites and causes and clients that will happily take your work in exchange for exposure.
And in some settings, this makes perfect sense. You might be making a contribution to a cause you care about, or, more likely, honing your craft at the same time that you get credibility and attention for your work.
But just because you're working for free doesn't mean you should give away all your upsides.
Consider the major publishing platforms that are happy to host your work, but you need to sign away your copyright. Or get no credit. Or give the publisher the right to change your work in any way they see fit, or to use your image (in perpetuity) and your reputation for commercial gain without your oversight or participation...
Now, more than ever, you have the power to say "no" to that.
Because they can't publish you better than you can publish yourself.
It doesn't matter if these are their standard clauses. They might be standard for them, but they don't have to be standard for you and for your career.
Here's the thing: you're going to be doing this for a long time. The clients you get in the future will be the direct result of the clients you take today. The legacy of your work down the road will be related to the quality of the work you do today.
It's your destiny and you should own it.
Freelancers of all kinds need to be in a hurry. Not a hurry to give in to one-sided deals and lousy clients. Instead, we need to be in a hurry to share our bravest work, in a hurry to lean into the opportunity, in a hurry to make work that people would miss if it were gone.

Four ways to improve customer service // Seth Godin
Delegate it to your customers. Let them give feedback, good and bad, early and often.
Delegate it to your managers. Build in close monitoring, training and feedback. Have them walk the floor, co-creating with their teams.
Use technology. Monitor digital footprints, sales per square foot, visible customer actions.
Create a culture where peers inspire peers, in which each employee acts like a leader, pushing the culture forward. People like us do things like this. People like us, care.
You've probably guessed that the most valuable one, the fourth, is also far and away the most difficult to create. Culture is a posture that lasts. It's corroded by shortcuts and by inattention, and fed by constant investment and care.
Big company or small, it doesn't matter. There are government agencies and tiny non-profits that have a culture of care and service. And then there are the rest...
