[QUOTE="Adhdferret, post: 4094890, member: 48008"] This here is why I went contractor. Never thought I am better than anyone else at a job, however I have worried about the lack of awareness in dangerous situations. Coworkers and supervisors who are alcoholics. Peers that are always scheming to get even an extra few cents on a check. They would do math to get the clock to round over so they get 26min a week of free money by getting the rounding off the time clock. I never understood the race to the bottom with regular jobs. Worse thing is how they faked that .05 raise as something you earned. Not saying I don't appreciate a nickel, thing is that even back in 97 when I worked at sonic a nickel wasn't much. So many jobs I left because I would ask for a raise after a year or two...usually 2 I would ask for 1 dollar. They did t give it to me I left the following day, my experience is that they can fire you without 2wks notice.....why should I be nice to them? I have done this since I was a teenager. Owning your labor, telling the customer what you will accept for your time, as to you accepting what they give you. It is a respect thing on both sides. Highly recommend it if possible. [/QUOTE]
