I went with Premium Membership right from the beginning because ive always struggled with money and saw a lot of value here.

Heres my story about working for others.

PROMOTED AND FIRED IN 1 DAY

LIFE CAN BE TOUGH ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE WORKING FOR SOMEONE ELSE.

Yes its scary to learn a new skill and attempt to make money online. But its scarier to me to be DEPENDENT ON a companies WHIMS AND MOODS OR WORSE EVEN THE BOTTOM LINE. FACELESS COMPANIES THAT CAN TAKE OR LEAVE YOU WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT.

I ONCE RECEIVED A PROMOTION TO SUPERVISOR IN THE MORNING AND IN THE AFTERNOON WAS FIRED! THEY SAID I WAS TRYING TO STEAL THEIR BUSINESS, What! I was promoting theirs!

I must have done a REALLY shitty job that day.

You have a life to live whether it's fair or not, Live Life Anyway! Stop Trading dollars for hours Today!

I was let go another time- for get this, not attacking a guy who was stealing, with the baseball bat kept behind the counter! They thought I should have risked my life chasing him down for an item worth less than a $20. that shit is madd crazy! So I stopped giving them my Time!

When I was growing up, In Michigan, we had whats called a subminimum wage- that’s where people who make tips (possibly) are only paid 2.50 an hour or now its 50% of the minimum wage. On top of that have their paycheck reduced by a percentage of the tips they claim! this law still exists in michigan and if your in customer service where you make tips this is your hourly wage in MOST cases.

This is outright Slavery! And do you think those employers schedule 40 hour work weeks on the clock? HELL NO.

These companies are so stupid! They just have this huge I mean huge turnover rate on their employees. They never consider that each turnover you're going to have to break in a whole new person. You're going to have shoddy service for your customers for a couple of weeks possibly so damaging that they don’t return for years! This is money out of their profits yet they don’t get it.

And what kind of loyalty are you going to be buying at that pay rate? NONE. People will be lax and lazy and uncaring about your business if you don’t take care of or stand up for them. WHY SHOULD THEY!

YOU get what you pay for and if you don’t pay people fairly then you should have high turnover and high training cost with no real loyalty from anyone.

If your going to spend your time JUMPING OVER GOLD BARS TO SAVE A NICKEL then as far as im concerned you get whats coming to you.

AS A restaurant manager I was trained to get people out BEFORE that overtime mark or FACE THE CONSEQUENCES!

I know a young mother of two right now today who works two jobs. The first job is cleaning in a hotel, the owner tells everyone to punch out at 40 hours and pays them out of pocket straight time. Basically forcing them to work off the clock. When she started to refuse the work he fired her for something unrelated three weeks prior. Later on he asked her back and she told him she would not work off the clock so don’t bother asking. She is the only employee in the place who gets sent home at 39.5 hours, everyone else works off the clock afraid to loose the work.

In my opinion these issues make it to scary NOT to work for myself-or at least try!

I have tried and failed at many things but i typically learn from them-so at the very least I will learn something from this!

All valid points to go the self employment route.

Yes there are many. many reasons why it's far better to line your own pockets rather than someone else's :)

Sometimes the owners are so short sighted!

My all time favorite is when I went to pick up my dry cleaning. One of the customers in front of me was having an argument about a 50 cent mistake on the ticket. The clerk wanted the 50 cents. The customer only wanted to pay what was printed on the ticket. This went on long enough that there were people waiting in line behind me. I was not the only person who never went back to that dry cleaning shop. They lost more than 50 cents for arguing with one customer.

sad part is if they just put some effort into training it would have never happened.

Congratulations on becoming a premium member!
