I’m a model. In 2016 (16 years old) I moved to China on my own for work. I’ve been working as a model since I was 13, but it was in China where I discovered that the model-to-escort pipeline is very real & sex is used as currency. Modelling doesn’t really pay that well - the real money is made by escorting & modelling work is just a fancy ad: you being the product.
Contractors don’t fix things as much as charge for what we are contracted for. I might fix things, but I am able to fix far less than when I was a direct hire. The issue gets worse the more contractors there are, both individuals and companies. Shit hiring company policies make this worse. The structure of many companies is the cause of company problems.
One thing I fucking hate about contractors and getting work done by shops in general is when they use your property to teach rookies, so you get a shit job done.
