[QUOTE="quadro, post: 697511, member: 12850"] You didn't say we should charge whatever we feel like and neither did I. I simply asked if you would allow someone you were paying by the hour to bill you whatever they feel like meaning for as many hours as they want. You, as the consumer, have the expectation that they will do the job in the most efficient manner possible. You wouldn't expect to pay them to go run an errand, for example, while they are on the clock. FedEx has that same expectation as does probably any company that pays by the hour. That doesn't make FedEx the evil giant. I would hardly say that Fred gets extreme levels of productivity. At least not from some of the couriers I work with. The amount front-line workers in any company get paid is never commensurate with the profit they generate except for those paid a commission (and not always then). I'm not naive enough to believe that I'm irreplaceable. I don't need a college degree or any highly technical training to do my job. I drive a truck and move some boxes around. Would I like to be paid more? Sure who wouldn't. Do I think I deserve more? Not really. But that's my opinion, I'm not forcing it on anyone and I respect that others have differing opinions. [/QUOTE]
