As an electrician I always took work from my company .. They worked with a commercial builder he would give me all of his smaller jobs another residential builder did the same thing hooked me up….. side jobs were the best that’s where you made your money because your boss at your real company was a cheap fuck …lol

Business is likely paying their worker dick wages, which means they are getting some form of government subsidies for the shit wages, which means you are already paying for it. Might as well pay the guy who is being screwed and needs it rather than the corporate welfare recipient…..

Tell me…..does that painter get to write off the gas he uses to get to work? Does he get to write off his car payments? How about his rent/mortgage payments? Does he pay a minimal tax rate? Does he pay higher tax rate for the money he makes hourly vs the owner? Cry me a river chief. The business would fire him and replace him in a moment if they could make more with someone else. Profits is all that matters. Morals are only for the workers apparently? When does a company realistically give a rats ass about an employee unless it involves making them profit? Why should this painter give a rats ass about making sure the company can screw someone and make a profit off his labor? Fail to see upside in terms of business sense for the worker. He takes risk of asking for side job (customer could rat him out and get him fired), he offers (competition and capitalism let’s not forget there’s no loyalty or morals, the market rules) to give the customer a better deal. That’s the way the cookie crumbles.
