Interesting.

Gen·er·a·tion X
/ˌjenəˈrāSHən eks/
noun
noun: Generation X; plural noun: Generation Xs

1. the generation born after that of the baby boomers (roughly from the early 1960s to late 1970s), typically perceived to be disaffected and directionless.
   "Generation X has grown up with IT"
2. As a result, Generation X is independent, resourceful, and self-sufficient. They value freedom and responsibility in the workplace. Many in this generation display a casual disdain for authority and structured work hours. They dislike being micro-managed and embrace a hands-off management philosophy

Years ago, when there were competing CB shops in the local area, I would hear "the other guy charges less to do that same job".

My reply was "It's his job to know what he's worth. My job to know what I'm worth. If he thinks his labor is worth less than mine, who am I to argue?"

Haven't heard that one since the last nearby competitor disappeared years ago.

Mike is free to charge what he considers adequate. If it's worth that much to you, pay him. If it's not worth that much to YOU, don't hire him for the job.

And everyone else is free to just stay the devil away, should they choose.

Agree, I owned a business and people would always say this other guy can do it cheaper. I would reply then why are we talking, apparently you want me to do it not him? 99% of the time you walk away with the job.

Sometimes, that expensive dude has an exaggerated sense of self worth.

I have read several posts/threads about Mike being MIA.
I believe I was one of the first to release Mike's contact information here on WWDX (with his permission,) and consider Mike a friend (of about 5 years,) besides one of my trusted technicians. I sent him several emails over the last two months using two of the email addresses that he usually replied to when a messages was sent. In all the emails sent to him over the past few months, I asked him how he was doing, and would appreciate a reply, as I was concerned about him being okay health wise. Those emails went without a return reply. I held back on calling him until this evening.
Even when Mike was producing and uploading video clips to YouTube, his VM box would often be filled. My last phone call to him before this evening was approximately 7 months ago. He actually answered the phone, and we had a short conversation about how everything was going in each other's lives.
Tonight's call went directly to his VM box, and like most of the time the VM box was full. The emails i sent him over the past few months, had nothing to do with needing his service, but were strictly based on my concern for him. I practically pleaded with him in my last email (about 3 weeks ago) to just wave a hand if he was okay. But still no reply. Has anyone heard from him via a text, email, or telephone communication? If so, is he alright? I'm sure there are many people like myself who are actually concerned about Mike. He's considered by a large percentage of the radio hobbyist community, a friend first, tech second. If anyone has heard from him recently, I would appreciate any information on whether he is okay? If he is indeed okay, and you know that to be 100% correct please let me (us,) know. Thanks. 73

Glad to see there are still good people in this world ! I have almost lost faith in humanity ! Gotta look in on buddies and check on friends especially this time of year !

73's to you sir and happy holidays . Brian

Agreed. But that's the magic of a marketplace. When you exaggerate your cost beyond its value, people stay away.

And if nobody is willing to underbid what you charge, it won't matter if your price exceeds the value it offers. People will gripe that there's nobody offering a cheaper alternative. People will gripe no matter what.

And if it ain't worth what it costs, it won't sell.

Out the door at 17 and never went back.

But...if you think Gen X-rs are bad for that, these kids today take the cake.

It’s becoming the new normal to mooch off your parents into your 30s..

There is something about the next generation that always bothers the previous generations. This has been happening since the beginning of time. I would say that if a 40year old is still living in their parents basement then its the parents fault for the way they are raising the child from the beginning. So what generation are the parents from? Anyone from any generation can be a piece of crap. Don't get me started on the milennials. Haha!
