NoNukes,
I haven't been an employee since April 1985.
I make contracts with people.
Let's see how that works compared to you or others more or less.
I only work by the day, the rate is $1250/day. No half days no standby no anything else.
To come to the location you pay me $1.00/mile, at my present location I drove 876 miles to get here.
You have to pay within 10 days of my invoice.
I get no vacation...I don't work I don't get paid.
No medical or other crap like retirement. I do that myself.
You don't pay unemployment insurance or disability, that's all stuff I do.
Either of us can cancel this contract at anytime for no reason.
This is only for adults, if you are a child of the state, or need people to take care of you, get used to kissing someone's ass.
