DCmagnum Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 First of all I am a contract.delivery guy for.gardner.white furniture in detroit. I've been here for 7 years. Basically if I broke it down to show everyone how it works ud all see that the 13 contractors Pay the company to work there. It seems like the more money we make the more they take. The truck I lease throught them is 1700$ a month but that includes workmans comp and insurance for the truck. I recently found out that the pricks I work for pay 486$ for the truck. Great huh! They also have hourly paid drivers and helpers. Them along with every other employee in the warehas been getting a minimum of 200$ monthly as a bonus. Brokers and our help gets none. For a xmas bonus they gave us a choice of a ps3 xbox 360 or a 32 inch tv. Cool right- ---nope. We have to figure which one of us gets it. The broker or the help. The other one gets nothing. I have to do some work so I can get home. Ill post more through out the day.

PUNKYOU007 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Damn thats shitty bro... With that being said though you need to be fortunate taht you have employment and income... I know it may be shitty whats going on but just be thankful that you have a job. I am getting so fucking sick of hearing this. First of all, there is work and plenty of it. People just either do not want it or are not educated/skilled enough for it. I am hearing way to many employers including mine using this shit as a defense to all the crooked bullshit that they do to employees. My company is working with a total of 12 people right now. One year ago we had 27 and two years ago we had over 40. Business is slow, i get this. Times are tough, i get this too. But when your employees get sick and tired of doing 3x as much work for the same pay because the company does not want to hire a few more people and the response is "be happy you have a job". Dont tell me I have to work harder and put up with more bullshit because you think this is the only job I am qualified for. Quote Doethepaperboy "Bars of Pain" Doethepaperboy "Hero Remix" C. Arson d(-__-)b beer sucks...but i can bring some jose cuervo. Only problem is that it makes me horny and gives me the rams. So unless yall wanna fight and then have some great make up sex i will leave it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont tell me I have to work harder and put up with more bullshit because you think this is the only job I am qualified for. There may be work and plenty of it, but there are not enough available positions for people to get hired to do that work. Unemployment in Florida is still at an all time high. Ive been laid off 2 times in the last 2 years. I'm not a lazy fuck, I found work again both times, but don't go flying off the handle saying that shit. Most of the work down here at least in IT is contract work. I cannot count on contract work because I have kids and I need to keep them insured. Businesses are still not hiring down here. If they don't hire, there are no available positions for unemployeed people to find work, or for people not happy with where they are to find something else. So yes, be happy you have a job if you have one. IF you want to find something else, do that before you quit, not after.
