I really hope people start to realize that being greedy will only leave you fucked in the end.

Its one thing to make a profit from someone elses creative works because you are offering a service the designer who might not be capable of doing it themselves, but another thing entirely to push the limit and take advantage of them by price gauging and flakiness in general. And running them around with payment and dicking them over on their cut of the job $.

From my experience aside from graphic design, sales reps take no more than 15% of the total amount, or a 30% markup from the wholesale price. I have seen design reps doubling a designers work, or more. This is not cool at all. Unless you're running a fucking retail store in a goddamn mall, nobody has that much overhead for pimping out design work. Its insane.
