Forum Overview :: Pac-Man :: Hey! I'm an independent contractor. :(

[quote name="Roop"]I always shut the fucking door! Actually, I'm the guy they call when they've <i>fucked up</i> the door and can't figure out how to close it. The only reason I even exist is because the cubicle workers cannot do something. Isn't it like that in all fields with independent contractors? I'm the professional one. I always saw myself as kind of like Harvey Keitel in Pulp Fiction only if he drove a Ford Focus. Anyway, I don't know where the hell you guys are finding your trade guys. I've not had those kind of problems over they years, but I'm friends with this building inspector who always know the right guy to call, then I'd name drop. He once even suggested I try this black market plumber, a guy not licensed not bonded not insured. But see a guy like that gets motivated to do superior work so he's never busted. Or just suck it up and hire union and pay out the ass.[/quote]
