I would like to know if these statements are true, this will tell me why all of you move furniture around like fools and waste valuable time and not get paid extra for the service

IS PEPSI IN  BUSINESS TO MAKE SOFT DRINKS

IS BEATRICE IN BUSINESS TO MAKE MILK

IS CHEMSPEC IN BUSINESS TO MAKE CHEMICALS

IS DELL IN BUSINESS TO MAKE COMPUTERS

ARE YOU IN BUSINESS TO CLEAN CARPETS

If you're afraid to answer then just ponder the question and keep asking yourself ............WHY

Pepsi is in the business to make soft drinks BUT:
  • they have to put it cans and bottles,
  • they have to  the bottles in cartons,
  • they have to put these cartons on skids,
  • these skids get put on planes to be sent all around the country
  • these skids come off planes and go on trucks,
  • these truck go to stores
  • and all of the stuff that goes with it, people, trucks, time
and the pepsi gets put on the shelf to be bought.

If Pepsi told me to kiss their ass, bring a bottle and fill it up yourself, we just make the soft drinks, I"d buy a Coke.

Bottom line..........your all in business to make money.  How you choose to wast your time on not making money........would be resolved if everyone took a course on Time Management.  It would not be long after........you would be charging in some way.............for every minute you put into your job.

ADWA............you spoiled all my fun, Adwa is right.

None of you are in business to clean carpets, Pesi is not in business to sell soft drinks, Chemspec in not in business to sell chemicals and so on.

YOU ARE IN BUSINESS TO MAKE MONEY.........NOTHING ELSE

THE EARLIER YOU LEARN THAT AND GOVERN YOUR TIME AND EFFORTS TO YOUR BUSINESS AND CHARGE A FAIR RATE FOR YOUR SERVICES THE BETTER OFF YOU WILL BE.

Ive been in business many years Customer wants all kinda crap moved They are going to pay for that time we spend there only a fool and an educated person would run a business and give away their time Customer doesn't appreciate it only because the customer doesn't realize your time is money Customer only realizes what comes out from their pocket

Is it wrong for ppl to expect the WHOLE carpet to be cleaned?? Is that not what they expect when you quote the "big money" job? I work in a Long Term Care Facility and if I only cleaned part of a carpet in a residents room, and said I needed to be paid more to move their furniture, I would not be employed much longer. Am I wrong to think this way? Don't think so ... I'm gonna hire the co. that goes the extra mile... not the extra bucks.
just swimmin in circles

Papagator.........if you like working for cheap low end wages that's your choice, if that was the only way you were able to get that job at the care facility.........well........you got it........you just degraded your workmanship in their eyes anyway and they probably don't expect much from you wether you move furniture or not...........you are just an expense that fit neatly into their books so that the director and his/her associates could take a bigger pay on you and all the others that work there for low wages
