3% of the gross... Blimey.
The use of contractors only works in this case because RYR crews aren't paid normal contractor rates! If they were, then it would be cheaper to have people in the white house to manage the whole game.
Everytime I read a RYR thread on here it both depresses and amuses me. Depressing as I can see what's happening to the profession that I love, but amusing in that I cannot believe what RYR get away with and so I have a lot of respect for their moxie, if not their morals.
However, all RYR crews are adults and therefore capable of making their own decisions. The fact that I think they're loonies for putting up with this isn't really relevant. It just makes me glad that I refused to go down the route of RYR to pay the bills.
