Is there a question?

Gawd, what a windbag. Couldn't you just say you were venting.72opp said:I am expressing my dismay with this company, attempting to share this information with other contractors as well as opening avenues for compare/contrast with other service providers in the sphere of property preservation; more specifically: property preservation companies in the Midwest.

Personally, I don't get the PP thing. I have yet to hear one good thing about it. All I hear is how little the pay is for this and for that. The simple answer is to not work for these people if you don't like the rates they give.a1propertyclean said:Who's the company giving you these rates? If you posted this as a warning, in addition to venting, it would be nice to know.
Why do you guys have to dog someone for a post like this? We all have frustrations with this industry but not all of us are likely to post them in exactly the same way.
If you read through the other threads, there are quite a few that started this way or at least along the same lines.

Actually, I am not thin-skinned at all or I wouldn't be in this industry. It has its ups and downs and I move on when it's time to move on, same as anyone else.KentWhitten said:I don't see anyone dogging anyone above, maybe a little anti but what are we, so thin skinned we can't take some comments and opinions?
Spectrum. Also informed me through email that I can negotiate pricing. I have my doubts about this. I don't understand why they are so high on wint (I have seen a great deal lower amounts given) and so low on debris.a1propertyclean said:Who's the company giving you these rates?

Actually, they are not high on wints. But they offer more than the majority of the companies out there.72opp said:Spectrum. Also informed me through email that I can negotiate pricing.

.12 cents / sq ft???72opp said:Carpet Clean Sq ft will be verified by Spectrum .12 cents / sq ft
Fire that one off to your accountant and see what he comes up with:blink:thom said:.12 cents / sq ft???
How can anyone clean 2000 square feet of carpet for $2.40?
He was posting a price schedule. We see a lot of that around here. It's not unusual and, for other vendors, it's welcome because then they can decide who to pursue and who to avoid.:thumbsup:Anti-wingnut said:The only dogging that has occured here is on the OP for writing a book when a sentance would do, and on Thom, cause he can't count

But the comments made were not directed at me. They were directed at someone who admitted he was a newbie. And bashing newbies, especially, seems to happen at CT a lot. To me, it's disgusting that a new member is put on the defensive so often.
I come here to network and socialize as much as to learn and educate myself. I also come here to recruit, even if I don't do it openly. I work with many of the vendors at this forum but those whose attitudes are unprofessional are avoided. And who knows.......... they might be great guys and gals away from the forum, people I might enjoy working with.
A LOT of recruiters come to this forum. It's a very popular place these days. But a lot of vendors are passed over in the recruiting process by some very good companies.
So, while I'm not thin-skinned, someone who may have quite a bit to contribute might be and could be discouraged from posting any further. We don't all have to agree. In fact, I love a good debate. I just think that's name-calling is out of line.
