Are bribes a common occurrence? My friend has a small paving company and he always tells me the other guys are bribing HOAs and others to get work from them. He says a lot of them have guys on the inside who they pay anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars for giving them projects. Basically, they give them a cut from the project. They charge a lot for the work too. He said he bribed a few people as well. I've known him since childhood so I find it hard to not believe him, and it does make sense. So would I be able to bribe people to get work too? I'm afraid of trying it because how the fuck do you know who you're dealing with? What if they report me? Could I get in legal trouble? Where's their proof I bribed them? How would I go about doing it in a safe way?

Yes, it's very common. Look at the recent Boeing fiasco. They basically bribed their way out of oversight on safety.

How often though? There are a few companies that are constantly working in my neighborhood. Landscaping company, pavement one, and a couple other smaller ones. I always wonder if they're doing it.

Some company called High Grade Materials I think. He gets his concrete mixes from them.

Literally NO business transaction with the government here in Canada happens without kickbacks. Big or small, whitey gotta pay if he wants to work

I suspect in construction it's a daily occurrence. Anywhere where you're likely dealing with the mob or politicians (i.e. corrupt fucks).

Bruh, I want to earn more shekels. I want larger contracts. The largest ones I get in my line of work are like several thousand bucks, and I can count how many times that's happened over the years on my hands. I'm thinking of going around and subtly asking if certain people want to make a "deal."
