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.
