Might it be because the government collects 2/3 of the money needed to hire somebody?
You know what’s really strange? I moved into my house seven years ago. The next week a bunch of gardeners showed up and did the yard work. My wife asked them for a business card so she could contact the company to get a quote and switch the account over to us as the new owners.
They never returned our calls, and when we did contact them directly told us the owner would call us in a couple of days. Long and short, they never have gotten a contract to us, never ask for money and keep doing the yard every week or two (albeit not high quality work).
We’d fire them, but they don’t really work for us, and don’t seem to understand when we try to talk to them about it. I give the workers sodas and snacks whenever I see them, and tip them once a year. The neighbor two doors down does pay a contract, and gets mad because some weeks they do our yard and skip his. Guess he should consider sodas.
