I'm mostly talking about people that don't really have a manager above them or all the freedom they need to organise payroll as they see fit. Restaurants owners, recreation center owner, tradesman, etc. They really could reward good elements, but treat everyone as interchangeable at the same exact pay rate. They get mad when people don't do as good as a job as they wish and then they get mad when they find another job. I have many examples, but 2 recent ones where: - a man who was hired as lifeguard for a small pool was being complained about for not cleaning the thing properly, even though every single similar job do not require this tasks for the same pay level, he left to create his own business with friends and is much happier (even though he doesn't make much more money yet). - a woman who was hired as waitress ended up doing the vast majority of the work for the other waitress, a woman part owne that was quite a bitch in many ways. The hired woman got paid minimum wage and had to share the tips, even though from what I saw, she is the one who got most of them. The next season, she refused to come back, prefering instead working as a cashier. The woman owner was somehow confused. The hired woman was a strong worker, no reason to slave away for greedy ungratefull owners. Unsurprisingly, the first business isn't going well (2 year going chronic deficit) and the second one just failed after 4 years. Those people just don't understand the true value of work, because they never had to do as much work themselves. I won't details my connection but they are people I know very well and the link is so obvious to me, but apparently not to them.
But they are failing, so I guess karma is a bitch in the end. |
