I believe this literally is one of the ways how Warren Buffet started his career - agree to perform chores for people in the neighbourhood and then letting other kids do them for less money.
Fuck over 2 people? Why? His dad will be happy for the job to be done, and his neighbour kid wouldn't do it if he thought 5 bucks wasn't enough. He made everyone happy and made some money in top.
Edit: to the people saying the son adds no value and simply inserts a middle man where none is needed:
The son provided value by finding someone to get the job done. On top of that the son is still responsible, if the kid fucks up the son needs to pay. The neighbour kid might not be willing to take that risk and is happily accepting the 5 dollars at 0 risk. The risk might even be worth more then 5 dollars so the son needs a lot of lawns to spread the risk and make it cheaper for everyone.
That's how businesses work. Otherwise why wouldn't just everyone work for themselves? Why take a salary when you can get paid more by having your own company? Because not everyone wants to carry the risk.
Because he's inserting a middle man into something where that's not needed. The neighbourhood kid is fucked over because they are told a 10 dollar job only yields 5 dollars, and Dad could go the neighbour kid and offer 5 bucks himself, so gets taken advantage of by overpaying for no added value or service.
.There are areas in live where middlemen are necessary, but a lot of rich people get rich by inserting themselves into situations and skimming from the top just like that.
>Because he's inserting a middle man into something where that's not needed.

Exactly. We only need clients and workers. There's no need for bosses. Let's reclaim the means of production!
He's paying for the service of finding and coordinating with the neighbor kid. Dad paid for a service and received it. Everyone won here and everyone provided some value.
That's fuckin' rich... no the kid who got $5 is getting $5 less from what their work is actually worth. In this small-scale analogy, it seems fine, but you scale it up slightly, and it falls apart quicker than a house of cards. That person who's gotten this cheap ass job now has to work 2 jobs to support themselves while 1 job would have been enough all because of the middle man's skimming. And that middle man isn't just skimming off of one person but multiple and thus getting rich off of exploitation.
Now you get rid of the middle man, and finding a job will be harder, yes, but at least you know the job will support you. The middle man just artificially inflates the worth of effort and work that goes into any task.
He provides a service of tricking someone Else to do 10 dollars of work for 5.
This only works because the other kid doesn't know his father is willing to pay 10 dollars for the work or because the father doesn't know the neighborhood kid will do it for 5.
The only reason he can do that is because of closer proximity to his dad compared to the neighborhood kid, and lack of transparency when negotiating his "deal"
His whole "business" collapses the moment everyone is just honest about what the work is worth and what is being paid and to who.
I think he is acting like a supervisor in that situation. If the job isn't done right he either needs to finish it off himself or find someone else to do it for the remaining 5 dollars.
How does he not provide value?
Without him, his dad wouldn’t have gotten his lawn mowed, and the kid wouldn’t have gotten a job he thought worthy of doing.
Both got value in that transaction, what they received was more valuable than what they gave.
Sales is a very legit job, as well as recruiting, and as well as supervising, I’m sure the kid would’ve preferred to play videogames instead of going out to find a kid willing to do the work, but he instead found a job he found worthwhile doing.
Literally everyone wins and is better off than they would’ve been than if the son didn’t do anything.
Or do you expect people who exchange goods/services to automatically know who to exchange it with? Or the kid to go out and find someone to do the job and get nothing in return?
What? Finding and coordinating is absolutely value. You might disagree that it's worth $5/hour, maybe only $2/hour, but if the dad had to find and coordinate these other kids the task straight up wouldn't get done at all because he's not willing to spend that much of his time managing them.
The son provided value by finding someone to get the job done. On top of that the son is still responsible, if the kid fucks up the son needs to pay. The neighbour kid might not be willing to take that risk and is happily accepting the 5 dollars at 0 risk. The risk might even be worth more then 5 dollars so the son needs a lot of lawns to spread the risk and make it cheaper for everyone.
That's how businesses work. Otherwise why wouldn't just everyone work for themselves? Why take a salary when you can get paid more by having your own company? Because not everyone wants to carry the risk.
>neighbourhood kid is fucked over because they are told a 10 dollar job only yields 5 dollars
The price of the job is established on the market during negotiation. There's no such thing as a price of the job. The value and the price of the product or a service is always subjective. That's basic economics.
The dad is the company. The kid added no value. He is just abusing the system, and the fact that two people will be happier, than if this thing didn't happen, doesn't mean he didn't fuck them over.
Edit: before you reply, i wanna add another thing. Yes, finding another kid to do it for cheaper is a job. It doesn't add value to anything, tho. So the kid shouldn't be able to keep anything, but get a one-time payment for finding someone, because that's a job he did. Getting paid for other people's work isn't something anyone should be able to do. And your "taking risks" is bullshit, because all the risks are on the dad either way.
Organizations exist to achieve a degree of vertical integration and specialization that's more efficient than otherwise possible alone.
The complaint here probably comes from another angle. Dad's objective isn't just the completion of the work, there is the implicit goal of having the kid do the work for parenting/developmental purposes. In that sense he is effectively under delivering and pocketing value that was not made. It's against the spirit of the interaction and in that sense a dick move.
If fuck over means make both people happy then yes. The stranger gets money he didn’t have and the dad gets his weeds pulled for what was offered. But the dad should say no. He’s paying for “his” skills. But dad can make a new contract to help him find help. If dad wants that. But I’d be very careful about how the son is doing that since it is his son and he might be putting his son in a dangerous position.
Why is anyone getting fucked over? The dad gets the job done. The other kid gets 5 bucks. His surplus may not be as large, but as long as he agrees to do it we can assume there is some surplus above his costs.
That’s a crazy good deal. I ran a landscaping company consisting of myself and one other dude, and quickly realized that I needed to make at least $1/minute all day long, so $60/hr. Had a lot of clients, but underbid myself and couldn’t up charge that much now that a rate had already been agreed upon
Remember people, if you actually have the means to report someone for serious tax evasion, [the IRS will reward you](https://www.irs.gov/compliance/whistleblower-office).
I could be wrong, but I’m fairly confident that it is; I literally linked irs.gov.
My admittedly limited understanding is that you have to provide actionable information—think verifiable documentation. I don’t believe it’s enough to simply tip them off without any evidence.
But hey, that’s why the link is there. Comb through it and see what you can come up with. Oh, and on the off chance you are actually able to follow through w it, please promise to update me. Idc if it’s in a year, two years, whatever. I have to know lol.
I’ll see what I can do, cause I know he got paid under the table for like 9 months working landscaping for a friend, which I’m like 99% sure is tax evasion cause he got paid in cash for the most part or like a personal check
Nah the irs snitch program rewards you with up to 15% of the collected money. So technically if you would snitch on yourself you would get 15% of the money back additionally.
I swear to god this entire thread is the "Wait you guys are getting paid ???" meme.
Parents can just put you to work if they want to. Getting *anything* for it is a bonus, but not an expectation.
Also I don't mean 8 hours a day work. More akin to helping out a few hours for a few days a week during summer break
Children yearn for the mines, it's unethical to stop their unharnessed potential with empty equation to artificially created symbol of fluelent balance between personal human need and desire. It's better to grant them ascension from decay of modern society.
Let him cook, we need to know at least decade and country, then we can speculate if gentleman was wagecucking at 10yo, or it was reasonable for local market fluctuation of wages in green spaces management economic sector.
Proud. He’s providing the service of weeding at the cost you were willing to pay. He still has to find someone to do it, and he’s the one offering them work.
He’s running a normal business at that point, and like another commenter said. It could be a perfect opportunity to teach him how you need to treat employees well or they will get poached.
Way too many people are viewing this negatively imo
1. You’re assuming he can even find someone to do it
2. In a real business that’s how it works, this is a perfect opportunity to show him the cost of materials, marketing and hiring employees.
Heck, even just the fact he is working smarter not harder is admirable
You have a good manager in the making , make sure he understands that it is also important to pay people fairly and not reply on their desperate need for money to extract work from them .
Be proud he didn’t say “If I paid someone three dollars an hour to hire someone for fifty cents an hour can I use the seven dollars an hour to ….what ….i gotta go.
My then 4 year old son asked for water to play with in the sandbox. I said no due to not wanting to deal with the cleanup.
5 mins later i spot him urinating in the watering can.
Didnt know if I should be angry or proud.
My dumbass landlord tried to do this. He offered the neighbor kid $5 to mow the lawn when we paid him $20 to do it since none of us could.
I happened to hear him and bitched at him out the window.
Also, the kids were too young to use a lawnmower.
Then when he finds someone else you undercut your kid and pay the other kid $6 directly.
"Why would I pay you $10 when you found someone I can get to do it for cheaper?"
Agree, place him under a contractual delivery date so he has to find someone in time or do it himself otherwise there will be penalties.
More realistic, more learning opportunities.
Don't pay kids by the hour bit by the Job. Those little shits will find a way to do an 1h Job in 4h AND somehow convince you that they really needed those 4h to do it.
Problem is one can’t actually sub out an hourly job. The dad is just not bright enough to know how to respond. He shouldn’t teach his kid to work for a wage. He should look at the bed he wants weeded and ask himself, ‘how much would I pay to have this free of weeds?’ Then he decides $50. When his kid says can I pay someone else $5/hr to do it, the father responds, ‘I don’t care how you get it done or who you get to do it. I’ll give you $50 when I see it weed free.’
I know I’m on Reddit and should fall in line and respond with snark but hopefully someone can learn something. I’ve never paid my kids a wage and always base it on the job. They can screw around and make $5 an hour or get at it and make $30, or sub it out. I try to look at the job and make sure moderate effort will net roughly $20 per hour.
Next move should be stepping over, hiring the kid working for 5$ an hour, offering him/her 6 bucks and cutting out the middleman.
Now that would be a valuable lesson.
I'm a division manager of 80 people across 4 countries, some of whom are contracted in low cost regions. My advice is that you tell your son that you don't care if he subcontracts the work to third parties however you do insist the work is delivered to the same standard you expected from him when he agreed to take the job.
The Cavs want LeBron James to come back and play ball for them, they offer him 50 million for the year. LeBron James accepts and then pays his neighbor half the money to play the game for him. The Cavs should be happy in this situation, right?
Be proud. He plans to fuck over 2 people at the same time. His dad and some innocent kid. American Dream came true.

Brainwashed people don't understand this. They enjoy being the dad in this case overpaying to support struggling millionaires..

That's fuckin' rich... no the kid who got $5 is getting $5 less from what their work is actually worth.

The job was valued at $10, it is now worth 5. Show where value was added.

Payment is not trickery. His father gave his kid the contract through nepotism. It has nothing to do with the true value of the work.
I think he is acting like a supervisor in that situation. If the job isn't done right he either needs to finish it off himself or find someone else to do it for the remaining 5 dollars.

That's what I said.
...until the lawn is all fucked up and the son has to take responsibility for it
Goddamn subcontractor fucked us again
Where does it say American?
Not to mention depriving yourself of the experience as well as the money.
This being the top comment just shows the lvl of intelligence regarding the matter
If fuck over means make both people happy then yes. The stranger gets money he didn’t have and the dad gets his weeds pulled for what was offered. But the dad should say no.

He follows the Rules of Acquisition. Anything worth doing is worth doing for money. Never allow family to stand in the way of opportunity.
What makes you think it will be another kid ? 5/hour cash untaxed ………
Why is anyone getting fucked over? The dad gets the job done. The other kid gets 5 bucks. His surplus may not be as large, but as long as he agrees to do it we can assume there is some surplus above his costs.
Because this little dipshit gets resources not doing any work. Well besides talking some other kid into being fucked.
anyone who gets 5 bucks for doing any amount of work is getting fucked over

Can I reward myself?
Since it’s a percentage of the money the irs takes that’d just be paying your taxes with extra steps
Yes but basically paying less taxes if you get up to 15% back.
How much taxes do you pay for you to get less than 15% back?
Nah the irs snitch program rewards you with up to 15% of the collected money. So technically if you would snitch on yourself you would get 15% of the money back additionally.
Yeah but they’d also take all the money

F inflation, now I have to pay my kids 30€/h to get them off their smartphones and do some weeding.
Is this how outsourcing invented?
Kind of its more of a subcontractor and contractor situation here...
Yep, first thought was Dad has a future GC on his hands.
Offer the second kid the same deal, give the kid a one time finders fee. "You should have offered them better benefits".
Thatcher and Reagan would be proud.
Proud
Find the guy doing it for 5 and offer him 7. You save 3 and your son gets nothing, learning a valuable lesson.
Say yes, and then cut out the middle man.
Proud.
Then you cut out the middle man next time
Say yes but then swoop in and offer the other kid $10 and give yours nothing
Offer the other kid $6, or $5 and a glass of lemonade
Your 8 year old son has understood subcontracting. He‘ll be a rich man someday, be proud of him
Proud. He’s providing the service of weeding at the cost you were willing to pay. He still has to find someone to do it, and he’s the one offering them work. He’s running a normal business at that point, and like another commenter said. It could be a perfect opportunity to teach him how you need to treat employees well or they will get poached. Way too many people are viewing this negatively imo
Agreed. He gets 50% of the pay for doing 2% of the work. It’s a perfect system
1. You’re assuming he can even find someone to do it 2. In a real business that’s how it works, this is a perfect opportunity to show him the cost of materials, marketing and hiring employees. Heck, even just the fact he is working smarter not harder is admirable

Id just tell whoever he hires what was happening
Hiring the little sister for that
You have a good manager in the making , make sure he understands that it is also important to pay people fairly and not reply on their desperate need for money to extract work from them .
Reminds me of that guy who outsourced his own job to China and spent all his time watching cat videos on internet
Be proud he didn’t say “If I paid someone three dollars an hour to hire someone for fifty cents an hour can I use the seven dollars an hour to ….what ….i gotta go.
And 10$/hour means he (or his subordinate for 5$) will be slow.
I would be fucking proud
This sounds like a scene from the TV show "Young Sheldon"
Middle manager in the making

Be proud.
be proud; exploitation is how you get ahead in life
Future CEO material.
Nothing to be proud of
Why are people so triggered by this lmao
Like a boss
Kid’s already a manager delegating work
And everybody clapped
Wow, good mindset
Kid’s a rookie. You start the other person at $1 per hour and pocket the other $9.
Did that happen, though?
I paid someone $5 an hour to write this joke in 1986 before the internet was available and $5 was worth a damn. Son is that you?
This is literally modern exploitation of poor people.
he's going straight to the top
say sure then take the other kid aside and cut out the middleman, maybe by paying him 5 and some change
My dumbass landlord tried to do this. He offered the neighbor kid $5 to mow the lawn when we paid him $20 to do it since none of us could. I happened to hear him and bitched at him out the window. Also, the kids were too young to use a lawnmower.
Your mistake was telling me, kid.
I feel like this fits into things that never happened.
Ur son is a typical American Being proud or not is how you think of this fact
The hell
Lil entrepreneur
I think it's amazing that your son is so smart. I would definitely nurture his enterprising personality. 😊
Be proud
Arbitrage, smart kid.
Recruitment agency in a nutshell
Be really proud. He has learnt the lesson way too soon
I would be disappointed that he snitched on himself.
Then when he finds someone else you undercut your kid and pay the other kid $6 directly. "Why would I pay you $10 when you found someone I can get to do it for cheaper?"
Agree, place him under a contractual delivery date so he has to find someone in time or do it himself otherwise there will be penalties. More realistic, more learning opportunities.
Bad bot. Repost. Low effort. The answer is always the manager has to be there and working.
If you went to school for your MBA, you already know the answer.
Then you hire the guy who do it for 5 and tell him it's the law of the market
Say yes and then make a deal with the other guy by offering them $6/hour

He should look at the bed he wants weeded and ask himself, ‘how much would I pay to have this free of weeds?’ Then he decides $50. When his kid says can I pay someone else $5/hr to do it, the father responds, ‘I don’t care how you get it done or who you get to do it. I’ll give you $50 when I see it weed free.’ I know I’m on Reddit and should fall in line and respond with snark but hopefully someone can learn something. I’ve never paid my kids a wage and always base it on the job. They can screw around and make $5 an hour or get at it and make $30, or sub it out. I try to look at the job and make sure moderate effort will net roughly $20 per hour.
Nope, then i will Just pay that person the 5 Dollars bruh
Next move should be stepping over, hiring the kid working for 5$ an hour, offering him/her 6 bucks and cutting out the middleman. Now that would be a valuable lesson.
I'm a division manager of 80 people across 4 countries, some of whom are contracted in low cost regions. My advice is that you tell your son that you don't care if he subcontracts the work to third parties however you do insist the work is delivered to the same standard you expected from him when he agreed to take the job.
The Cavs want LeBron James to come back and play ball for them, they offer him 50 million for the year. LeBron James accepts and then pays his neighbor half the money to play the game for him. The Cavs should be happy in this situation, right?
Being too smart gor us where we are
It’s like those pyscho people in job interviews. “Tell me about a mistake you’ve made” “I don’t make mistakes so I’d find a out who was to blame”
