But not everyone is that way. In fact a lot of people are not, which is why they stay at flipping burgers at mcdonalds etc. Which is why there are so many on unemployment, when they could actually work.
It's a lot different. You set your own schedule, negotiate your pay, can work with whoever, whenever you want just to name a few examples.
Set his own schedule? So if you schedule a all day job and 5 hours into it your sub groundie says he is done and needs to leave, does he get a full days pay? Does the customer have to wait for completion to another day, even though they were told one day? Do you then do the ground work and get part of his pay?
I agree to an extent which is why we need more options. A lot of people feel hopeless and or undervalued. If people had hope and respect and dignity they'd apply themselves more. The current model just sucks for a lot of people and many people and beaten down before they even get a chance at bat. No body wants to be a loser.
All depends on the agreement/arrangement between contractors.
So once again that really says nothing. I asked what you would do. You counted on him being there working a full day for his "cut". His price is 300 a day, but he bailed early. what do you do? Putting it in real world here.
It's the same,
Right like any regular employee job if you just left in the middle of the day without discussing it ahead of time with the other contractors you wouldn't get called back to work and wouldn't get more referrals.
Idk I don't hire subs personally but I'd probably pro rate the pay and tell him to piss off, unless he had a good reason for leaving. Shit happens ya know.
I've never seen a job add that said you could work 1-7 days a week, work with other companies whenever you'd like, take off three months whenever, work 2 days one week, 5 the next and zero the week after that, hire us to do your jobs with you too! Most businesses hiring employees I've seen want consistency and they set the terms of schedule and pay, take it or leave it.
This is very similar to how I run our tree company. Bonuses paid quarterly on company profits, all employees are part of discussions on new equipment purchases and any procedure changes. They are also encouraged to share anything that they would like to see different, both in organization, efficiency, and equipment. Team atmosphere is cultivated, and we have very little turnover.
But you know $1500 in Canada after tax is still only 27 eh?Fuck it. $200/hr or $1500/8hr day. Will travel (on your dime). Who's hiring? Time to get me some.
Respect and dignity must come from within an indidvidual. You can not wait or depend on an outside source to provide this regardless of your situation.
Not every person is cut out to work for a company like this and not every person is cut out to start or run a company like this. Everybody has to have a certain amount of faith and trust in each other and that they all have each others backs. The phrase “a rising tide raises all ships” is a very important concept in my opinion. If I don’t attract the right people, trust in others, or if I continually distrust their work ethic, am unwilling to depend on them, or am unwilling to think they have my best interest at heart we can never truly succeed in forming a partnership or a relationship not built on a hierarchy or a pyramid model with most of the gains going to an individual or a small group at the top. Yes, at some point the whole thing might fall apart. People grow, people change, and their life goals change thus necessitating shifts in their lives.
Try reading what I said again, because that wasn't what I said.
