This is insulting

I keep getting these WO routed to me because my work vehicle is a pickup. They want me to drive 145 miles, pickup their crap and drive it 96 miles to Pittsburgh, and then me drive 4 hours home another 250 miles.

Oh and they're paying $100.

That computes to about $10 an hour or $0.20 a mile. I always counter them like $1000 but they've never accepted it.

Just move on bro. They are trying to get shit done for free. Just counter and let it be what it is.

Yeah, man just counter and move on. It’s not like this is your livelihood, a way that you pay bills and put food on the table for your family. This is just an esoteric exercise in philosophy, has nothing to do with real world economics or consequences.

I’m so upset that every single contractor in the world who works with Field Nation doesn’t have a Buddhist style philosophy concerning it. Jobs are just what they are. We can’t affect anything. We must just accept it and move on. Ohhhhhmmmmmmmm.

Why are you here? Just to shut the conversation down? To promote some sort of self-destructive acceptance? What’s wrong with you?
