We are in a country with a booming economy and record low unemployment, I hear traditional business cant find employees, but, MS and field service companies still think they have you by the gonads. Twenty five dollar shops are not 17 or less and 10.00 or 7.00. Coupon shops with no return and now you have to see tree different people in a hardware store. If you people continue to act pitiful and work for peanuts you have no respect for yourself.
Sounds like you may have offended a bunch of folks, ynk.
Putting aside quibbles about how you phrased things, I agree with the basic disgust you have towards ridiculous MS fees.
I'm not sure we can always blame the MSC, however. It may be that the client is cheap.
BWW is back, for example, and they routinely have $20 and $30 fees (on top of reimbursements). That MSC that offers them has abysmally low rates for other shops that I won't take. So, sometimes you have an MSC with great paying shops and very poor paying ones. Maybe it's the client?
I really don't know.
I know that I get offended by $9 cell phone shops or $15-20 apartment shops. It's not an issue of no one forcing me to take them. The rates is just plain disrespectful. What if I offered some person to babysit my daughter for $5/hour. I then say...well, you know, if you JUST HAPPEN to be driving by and free (you'll save gas) and it's on the way to doing something else that day, then please come by my home for an hour to babysit her. Before doing so, I have a 3-page list of guidelines I need you to memorize and prepare for when coming to our home and watching her. She has likes and dislikes, allergies, and specifically scheduled things she must do that day. After you're done, I'll need to call you the following day to ask what happened during certain times - that'll just take 15 minutes more or so of your time. Come on by when you're free and we'll pay you $5/ hour.
Long story short, everyone probably agrees that SOME job fees are so low as to just be disrespectful. Thankfully, there are some good ones out there too! Just keep doing the good ones and avoid the rip-offs as much as you can.
