“I’ve been working on crews for three years, and I’ve been abandoned 11 times,” said Stephanie Dobbs, a mother of three who worked with another company, Young People Working, LLC, until being stranded in Cloverdale, Indiana, last month. “But I keep going back. I’ve got to do something to support my kids, and this is fast, easy cash if you’re a good seller.”

Ummm... After getting abandoned 10 times, wouldn't you nix the 11th trip? (If you're good enough for easy cash, you won't get left behind. If you're not good enough to get the easy cash, how is it profitable?)

It's pretty awful exploitation.

Speaking generally rather than about any specifically identifiable person, many people in the United States told the scenario: "Your boss pays you 15% of Monday's sales of $200, Tuesday's sales of $1,200, Wednesday's sales of $450, Thursday's sales of $80, and Friday's sales of $1,500. He then awards you a bonus of $120 and subtracts $380 for expenses. How much money did you make?" with "Umm... a thousand dollars. Give or take. Good money. That's a heck of a lot more than I ever got paid at McDonalds, and they don't take out taxes or anything."

Life is a series of 4th grade math problems and, unfortunately for some people, 4th grade math remains difficult for them.

Try about a quarter of that.

patio11 himself was merely citing their misunderstanding.

I'm to steal joke/head. Do I need to cite it? :-)

Go ahead - it's an old joke.
