[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 731511, member: 12508"] They can dictate the pace and my level of performance when they pay an equivalent wage. Please notice the distinction. I am NOT asking to be paid what I am worth, but what I WAS worth. Let's see, FedEx is only about 10 years behind the cost-of-living curve, so using that rationale, I should be able to perform at the year 2000 standards and be just fine. I don't have any problem exceeding their standards anyway, but I don't get your "logic". If I don't pay the refrigerator repairman what he asks for (is worth), I can call another repairman who'll do the job for less, or watch him walk out the door and see $300 worth of food potentially rot before I can get someone else, who may or may not perform the job at the wage I want to pay. To me, Fred is sitting on his couch and I'm the refrigerator repairman (courier). He wants to pay me $100 for a job that is worth $150. Maybe I'm one of a few who can fix his old machine, and it will be hard for him to find someone else who can even do the job, much less want to do it. So maybe I fold like a house of cards and take his $100, or maybe I walk and he loses all his food. Or maybe he offers me a beer and I sit on his couch and take my sweet time fixing his machine. OR maybe he hires some maroon who doesn't know a TV from a refrigerator and just immigrated from Nowhereistan and may be recently released from prison(Ground). OR maybe he pays a well-trained UNION refrigerator repairman who knows exactly what he's doing, arrives in a crisp brown uniform without a ZZ-Top beard and fixes the problem in 20 minutes. Even though he charges more, it's worth it to get the job done right (UPS). [/QUOTE]
