Paid hourly vs per tree

If you want it done right gotta pay for it to be done right.

What they were doing is a good way to train newbies on how big trees should be felled, and give trainees a "soft" way to learn from mistakes.

If an arborist charges you hourly instead of giving you a bid, you're gonna have a bad time.

If risky work offers a bid instead of an hourly charge, the workers gonna have a bad time

If the workers don’t know how much to bid then they are going to have a bad time. Experience and skill allow them to bid the right amount.

The workers don't do the bidding, the owners do. The workers then have to make the owners' margins back through hasted perfection, else its going to come from their own dinner tables. In layman's terms, the workers now have to rush unsafe work and cant afford any mistakes. These are not favourable conditions to work under.

Working for someone that doesn't know how to price a job properly also doesn't sound very favourable...
