It indeed is. I'm probably a bit more accustomed than the average person, growing up in a region and a family (my uncle worked for a niche mechanical subcontractor) where it's quite common to meet someone working at one of those, or see adds for industrial vacuum machines at the airport.

Walking through the InnoTrans halls and seeing the product lines of the subcontractor to the subcontractor is absolutely fascinating.

I always hold up my time at a military subcontractor as an example. I can say I got weirdly lucky; my bosses were bigoted enough to keep me from touching production code. I can't say I didn't choose to work at a military subcontractor before to moving in search of work, or changing fields.

No, LINXS itself has the 25 year contract to maintain and operate the system after construction is done. Not a subcontractor. LINXS is itself a kind of joint venture between several entities including Fluor Engineering.

TAs make being a subcontractor look good. I can at least bill for extra work (some of the time).

You shouldn’t also have to constantly worry about where your next cleaner or subcontractor is going to come from.
Someone cancels last minute.
You get extra jobs and suddenly need more people.
You need another cleaner to help on a job site.

This week a dental hygienist asked me if I was a working girl and a subcontractor mistook my ankle tattoo as an ankle monitor. Everyone’s first impression of me is quite varied it seems.

Contractor flagged for alleged wage theft draws scrutiny after reappearing on large Worcester project
Councilors and union representatives questioned why Optaline Enterprises — previously cited by the Attorney General and flagged under Worcester’s Responsible Development Ordinance in 2025 — appears on a publicly subsidized 274 Franklin Street project. City officials said they issued new guidance and will report back with whether Optaline remains eligible to work on the development.

Could have used one of these at the factory I used to work in as a foodservice subcontractor. While our staff was diligent, I'd say only about 20% of the laborers, and maybe 75% of the white collar workers, actually used a sink.

Graduate scheme interview. An interviewer arrogantly suggested I was a hooligan ‘cos I was Northern and a Boro fan.
Asked me if I had any experience of working with his company (which I had as a subcontractor) and decided to tell him gleefully how incompetent they were. Loved it 🤣

Why, yes we do have some huge cargo planes, including the C-17 and the C-5, which was designed to carry main battle tanks. Why Lockheed was managing the transfer using a subcontractor I don't know.

I worked for an Aerospace Company in Management 45 years ago and we had a PAC, where the head of Gov relations would brief the money spent on politicians and the subcontractor locations in political districts. It’s still being done today by all the big defense contractors with headquarters in DC!

Thank you!!!
At one point they had me buy replacement belts from Amazon, send them an invoice, and then they refunded me for that purchase like I was a subcontractor. It was the wildest customer service experience I think I have ever encountered.
