Plumber.
Just got borderline scammed by one of these 24/7 unclogging company. Considering what I paid, if you work two hours a week, you get more than the minimal wage over a month
That doesn't sound at all bad. I imagine they don't pass much of the money on to the employee though, right?
There’s a lot of different pay plans out there. No idea what roto rooter is paying their techs these days.
I expect that the money goes in the boss pocket. Well I understand the cost of the truc, tooling, and paying an employee waiting for a call has a cost, but still shit it's expensive for 45 min of work and one hour of commute doctors and lawyer are cheap in comparison
Technically that’s a Drain tech. A plumber will almost certainly tell you they don’t unclog drains (even though there is GREAT money in it, since no one wants to do it themselves, but will complain about the price anyway).
