Found out my old boss was charging customers $80 per outlet and paying us $12 of it
I was cleaning out my truck last week and found a stack of old work orders from a job I did back in 2019 in Aurora. Started looking at the numbers out of boredom and noticed the customer was billed $80 per outlet install, plus $45 for each wall fish. My check for that whole day was $140 after I did 9 outlets and 4 drops. Did the math and the company pulled in over $900 off my labor alone, and I saw maybe 15 percent of it. I asked a guy who still works there and he said the rates went up but our cut is still the same. I get that overhead and trucks cost money, but that split feels insane now that I can see it on paper. Any of you ever peek at the customer invoice and get mad about what you were making on the same job?

Did the guy still there ever confront them about the pay gap?
