If you understand the overhead, how do you expect a business to be profitable and pay their lowest level lab employees 6 figures? lol

Lowest level wouldnāt be paid six figures or running machines. Thatās a given. Hiring someone talented and experienced in LA? Iād at least work a ramp up to six figures opportunity for a relocation special.

I think if people will fill the position at 15 an hour then that is what the market has decided is fair market value and will continue to be at until there is a worker shortage
To some people cool is currency so being an extractor may provide them with that fulfillment

100k per license, 60k renewal/year. 2 licenses. Like I said that is one of the smaller annual costs.
I canāt talk about revenue, but thereās literally no possible way to grow a business to other states and pay your base level lab techs 6 figures, lol.

i really dont believe thatā¦ who needs to grow out of your stateā¦ Sounds like a lotta extra bread for expansion but not for the people actually funding the expansion.
just what it looks like. if businesses ran more like profit sharing businessesā¦ they would be much more successful.

Thatās fine, you donāt have to believe it. Iāve seen the numbers, lol.
ive seen plenty of business proposals tooā¦ i dont believe it. a cannabis license is a license to print moneyā¦ plain and simple

Once again, cool story bro. You sell dirt out of your garage, and business proposals are exactly that, proposals.
Also makes sense since you believe every license holder back doors products lmao.
Doing it legit isnāt as profitable as you think.

I have a friend whose just got a āpromotionā to be an extractor at a tier 3 producer/processor. One of the larger brands in my area. And he is making $15.50. 50 cent raise from being a sock packer lol
But he is happy. Lol but he also lives with his parents at 30. So his standards arenāt really set to highā¦

i just dont think your privy to all the financial figures like you think you are. I have plenty of real experience in this spaceā¦ Your anger is clouding your judgement. Im saying if your not looking to be the next cookies their is plenty to pay your lab techsā¦ and 6 figures shouldnt be far with benefits.
i think you said you offer those too.

My work brings me pride, cutting materials to high tolerances gave me the satisfaction I needed at the time in my life. My persistence in my work is what brought me here today. So no the pay was not spectacular, but I was proud.
