I'm talking about shops that have scenarios and/or requirements that require a tremendous amount of work, are nearly impossible to realistically perform, probably do not pay a fair wage, and will sit on the job board begging for someone to complete. Why does a MSC even consider entering into a contract with such a client, knowing that it will be nearly impossible to find a shopper to get the job done? Why does a scheduling company or scheduler agree to commit to such a shop? The scheduler gets frustrated because the job sits on the board and deadline is near. The shopper is frustrated because the shop is impossible even with the high bonus. The client is disappointed because the shop is not completed. I notice that some MSC seem to gravitate toward these kinds of shops, and some seem to tend to avoid them.
