atw: Re: Off-topic-Are we in the wrong business?

Yeah, and the administrators aren't going to be in the "x cents/dollar" group. They'll take their full amount straight off the top.
When I was working for Rio Tinto a couple of years ago, I found out they were paying up to $120/hour (plus food, lodging and transport) for stocktakers going from warehouse to warehouse. Turned out the agency owner was a mate of my boss. Who'd have guessed?! I think the stocktakers themselves got around $30/hour.
That's not even the same boss who hired someone for 400 hours at $90/hour to update an Excel spreadsheet that I fixed within 25 minutes. I wish that had been a fixed price job for me at $36k/30 minutes. 


Quoting Donald Halley <donald@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:



A while ago, we made a wayward investment which has ended in tears, or
more importantly Administrators.
As a potential creditor we received a notice from Deloittes yesterday
listing their charges.(incl GST). These were the bottom three (the list
did go up to $600 per hour for a partner):

Advanced Secretarial Support $132 per hour
Normal Secretarial Support $121 per hour
Vacation Workers (undergraduates) $121 per hour.

If only Tech Writing paid as well?
