Outsourcing Outrage : Why Most Resort To Freelance Jobs
It has been a puzzle among most internet entrepreneurs as to why most of theagents they hire from outsourcing companies online leave them after a few monthsof service despite the good dealings done.What is the main cause of this ongoing problem? There are a few factors to which these occasional problems may occur. If an agentworks for a local outsourcing company in their area that comes with an office or abuilding that has to be leased, it is very much understood that there follows anoverhead expense to keep up with the maintenance, hence, cutting down on severalother costings such as convenience and tool manageability for the company toenable to keep their business on the go, leaving most of the agents bringing home avery small fee for the services rendered.Of course, these people work in I.T. offices and gets to surf around online whereinthe chance of finding a better opportunity is a myriad miles better especiallycoming from most legitimate companies that these agents get to encounter online. The promise of a better compensation which most agents working for theseoutsourcing companies have to put in consideration and later result to agentsresorting to freelance jobs instead. Plus, the fact that they are getting a 300%increase from what they used to make under these companies, not to mention that
 
they're getting a decent pay without going through the problem of having to dealwith overly attentive administrative people who hardly even know what thebusiness is all about (most that I know are hired for supervision and office work i.e.filing, overseers that later tends to be bossy because they are "admins"...skill-wise -NONE). So, what happens is that, what's supposed to be an established business,continuously hires people due to the number of resignations filed - and the companybecomes a training platform alone(which most often are provided by clientsthemselves). Not to mention that most employers have been bothered with severalintermittent connection reports when their employees are supposed to be workingon a promised single dedicated internet connection and to later find out that theseoutsourcing companies have been sharing a supposed to be fast internet connectionto several units thus delaying the workload.But does the problem end there? Apparently not! What about those freelancers whotend to move on to an online sub-contractor site?A lot of these freelancers who start out look for sub-contracting websites, but moreoften than usual, they would return to freelancing instead and market themselvesonline either viaCraigslistdue to the incomprehensible amount of fees that theymake, when in fact 80% of the actual amount that clients pay for do not go to thesepoor agents, but rather to these subcontractors, which is quite confusing sincethese people do not have an overhead to keep up with other than a website(whichyou can purchase for $9.99 on Godaddy)and a few administrative people to takescare of the reports since most of these agents work from home and initiallyinvesting on their own electricity and maintenance. Major capitalization onOUTSOURCING LABOR without an OVERHEAD nor PRODUCT but rather SERVICES is abig NO NO... it is NOT ETHICAL to sub-contract a 200-400% fee and pay sub-contracted agents 20% of the actual fees made... patronizing such abuse not onlysteals from the sub-contracted agents but steals big time from clients they made aclosed deal with... It would have been comprehensible if these sub-contractors areinvesting on products, but logically, these people are investing on labor andintellectual property; to which is why I give credit to sites likeOdeskorElanceto name a few for simply charging a sensible amount of monthly fee for users toenable to make use of their services in finding the right employer. The worst part among this outsourcing outrage is that, most freelancers are gettinga bad reputation due to these companies stating that "there are no assurance as toif your freelance agent is working or not since they aren't supervised" and withthem, the assurance of supervision is highly observed.Personally, I should say that you will only know that, once you are not generatingthe traffic that you are expecting regardless whether they are supervised or not...After all, "TRUST" is the only investment freelancers can hold on to in this kind of
