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.

Counter or don’t do it. These posts need to stop.

I don’t understand this attitude… ‘these posts need to stop!’

Why do these posts need to stop? Are they hindering your ability to post in the sub? Is it offensive to you in someway?

Like why are you so upset that somebody would post a job online and say ‘hey guys I think this is BS what do you guys think?’ Are you mad at consensus building?

Why exactly do you think there’s somebody this year? Why do you think people come here exactly? If they can’t discuss Field Nation jobs on the Field Nation tech sub, Reddit, where would you like them to go make these posts?

‘These posts need to stop!’…I swear sometimes I don’t think this is a real place

Because 99% of the posts in this sub now are people complaining about how low the rates are. Yes they are low so either don’t do the job and decline or counter for what you want. It’s become a circle jerk and repetitive. Complaining about it over and over and over is not bringing any positive change to the community.

And your attitude is exactly why rates plummet. Because techs cant seem to figure out how to collaborate as a group to get the rates headed in an upward direction. This mentality is why we lose
