sjanz Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 So your comment is based on what exactly? The experience requested? The compensation? The hours? The Vacation time? What would you consider not slave labor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 2 vacation hours a week and 25 an hour in la. That isn't exactly competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveC4 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 2 vacation hours a week and 25 an hour in la. That isn't exactly competitive.Is $25/hr. a good wage ANYWHERE (other than a 3rd world country)?That's $52,000 per year GROSS, assuming 52 weeks working 40 hours week. Hard to get by on that these days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 ^You're not serious are you? How many walking individuals do you think are in LA right this minute salivating over that $800/wk paycheck come tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFUG Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 It's a TECHNICIAN position (non-degreed by ancient definition). Anyone who is "crack" will rise up the pay-scale as a rule.sjanz- my guess is you will burn through individuals at warp-speed. No Cinco de Mayo, no workie.

We all wish everyone made double that, or more, but part of the reason we are not competitive on the world stage is because our labor costs are through the roof for what people are doing. I know union laborers, in big cities, making $45 an hour straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Leeds UK Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I`m from the Uk and to me the issues are - You need to pay a minimum of 40 hours a week We get 2 days vacations for every mth workedIf we work the vacations days you list we would get paid double time plus a extra days holiday. Your wage is fair.In today's job market, good people are hard to get, so you have to sell you and your company. I take it no one as applied for the Job ?
