they found you a job, that's called a service and is one of the 2 ways people can make money legally.

if you guess the other way I'll give you a pass on how fucking dumb you're and I might even give you the solution to your conundrum

another thing, is not company paying them 5 bucks, is you paying them for the service

yeah, people tend to get hurt when they find out how much their employer makes off their work.

protip: your boss makes more off your labor than you do at almost any job. You're also paying your manager's salary.

what service? Payroll? All they fucking do is write the check. It doesn't justify paying them $200/week.

It's bullshit.

Fuck you

>All they fucking do is write the check.
do they deduct your taxes and pay your workman's comp insurance?

because that usually costs them more than $5/hour unless they're a yuge company.

Are you a contract worker?

They found you a job, do some paper work for you and will find you another one if this one ever end, because you sitting at home doesn't bring them money and like you understand you get them a lot of money when you're working.
That's why you pay them. If you don't like it, find a job by yourself.
That's what people do, they rely on other people first to get a foot into a company, get something to put on a resume and them find a better job by themselves.

>> No.1696561

That seems lowballing it actually. The company is only paying for hours worked. 5 bucks per hour mark-up covering your vacation times, additional employer-side taxes, risk premium, matching service, overhead cost and profits? They can't make much off of you to be honest.

50% profit is not that high, a lot of contractor ops get more especially with IT. After expenses they aren't making more than 20-30% and they make all the business arrangements which is more valuable than operating a hi-lo or whatever the fuck they are paying you to do

Labor market intermediates don't exist to help people find jobs.

They exist so companies can acquire an expendable workforce and not have to pay into unemployment tax or give out benefits.
