MTSOs hiring ICs, begging for Fridays - whatdotheyexpect

Posted: Nov 17th, 2017 - 11:28 am

The new norm in the industry is MTSOs doing outsource work and hiring ICs at $.07 a line.  It seem so few MTSOs have their own accounts anymore.

For anyone who's been an IC in the past 15 years, the norm used to be $.10 a line or more for an IC.

Now the MTSOs find themselves in the position of not having coverage on Fridays, nights and weekends.  What do they expect?  They offer no differential for night or weekend work, no benefits, no promise of ever making any more money, and MTs who are burdened with thousands in taxes during the year from that $.07 a line (or half of that for voice rec).

I suspect this will implode eventually when MTs realize their tax burdens and become enmeshed with IRS debt and collections, not to mention the usual struggles of low wages.

I believe eventually this trend will end out of need and wages will rise again.  Yeah, making $.07 a line is appealing working at home for some until they can't pay those taxes.  

Just a really interesting trend in this market now with all the outsource work.
