I don't pay anyone. I'm not interested in building empires I'm interested in having a easy life..

If I were to pay someone to do my business style work, I'd pay them piece work at least on the clothing side. A by the hour person would have no incentive to work harder because no matter how many items they processed they'd get paid the same, so why would they work hard?

Meanwhile you pay someone $2 a item if they process 10 items an hour they would be making $20/hr. 10 items per hour would be obtainable for what I do. I'd much rather pay one hard worker that wants to work and earn money $20/hr via piece work than get two lackeys for $10..

I've always been a firm believer in piece work where it works out for the job type. I've had a few piece work jobs in my life and when I did those I used to always average over $20/hr for a week. You give people incentives to work and they will work, it's just that simple. Pay people like shit and you get shitty employees.
