Re: CRAZY PAY?


well heres somthing to think about, to you that think we should waite, 30/60/plus. i started the biz in 1985,pay was decent, somewhat better 10 years ago, but now??? i said it to a prime back then the first time i was ask to hold out 30 days. if we as subs should hold till u as primes get ur money, why don't we go to the companies under bid u by 10% and cut out the middle man?? and thats what happened. every tom, dick and harry jumped in cut prices and now there worse than when i started, back in 85 putting up antenas..
is'nt that why u as the primes keep part of the money?? to pay back the loans u take out to cover payrole, expenses etc., plus put alittle profit in the pocket???
if we as subs, have to carry our own insurance, own bonds etc. and then hold out for 30 plus, what the hell we need u as primes (brokers) for???
opinions are like assholes, everybody has one and theres mine.....

> TIMES ARE TOUGH NOW ,VERY TOUG(shocked)H . IT JUST BURNS MY ASS THOUGH TO SEE SOME SO CALLED PRIME OR WANNABE PRIME POST AN ADD ON THE BAR WITH LITTLE OR NO INFO. ABOUT THE JOB, GIVE OUT A B.S. TELEPHONE # OR IF YOU DO GET THROUGH ON A # OR EMAIL NO ONE TAKES THE TIME OR HAS THE CONSIDERATION TO REPLY.I DONT KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS, BUT WHEN A MAN OR WOMAN IS SERIOUSLY LOOKING FOR A JOB .... HE OR SHE DOES NOT HAVE TIME OR MONEY TO WASTE ON THIS CRAP.FURTHERMORE ...WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH 30-45 DAYS OUT ON PAY? ALL CONTRACTORS(SUBS)ARE NOT PIECE-OF-CRAP ASSHOLES WHO LIVE IN THEIR BUCKET TRUCK OR HAVE NO HOME OR FAMILIES TO SUPPORT.IF YOU MIGHT THINK YOU ARE A PRIME, THEN CONSIDER ACTING LIKE ONE .HOLD BACK 2WKS PAY, TAKE 10% RETAINAGE TO PROTECT YOUR INTEREST, AND CONSIDER HAVING SOMEONE GET OFF THEIR ASS AND IN THE FIELD TO QC THE WORK .IF YOUVE GOT A HACK ON THE JOB THEY ARE EASY TO SPOT.BASICALLY, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR AND HOW YOU PAY FOR IT.THINK ABOUT IT ... FUEL,HOTEL,FOOD,ETC....FOR 30-45 DAYS PLACING COMPLETE TRUST IN YOUR HONESTY AND INTEGRITY AS A PRIME TO PAY US AFTER THIS LONG . ITS CRAZY . IT SHOULD NOT MATTER HOW FAR OUT A PRIME IS PAID BY THE MSO TO BE THE BASIS ON HOW , IF , OR WHEN YOU PAY A SUB. THATS WHY YOU MAKE YOUR MONEY OFF OF SUBS OR A FEW IN HOUSE WORKERS.IF YOU WANT TO BE A PRIME THEN ACT THE PART OR GET OUT OF THE PICTURE AND BE A LOWLY SUB AND MAKE SOMEONE ELSE A PAYCHECK.THIS IS JUST MY OPINION .CABLE HAS TO GET BETTER.
