And you're still saddled with responsibility for the whole crew, the whole job and coming in on budget. Mental work saves the body but at mental expense. Maybe C-suite and board should take pay cuts so everyone gets decently paid for quality work with quality tools and quality materials.
Again, you’re assuming there is a “c-suite and board” to every job and there often isn’t. Many many many people work for their local sewer company or whatever that just has a single owner or maybe two co-owners in it.
Yes, obviously people at the “top of of the pack” often make too much moneys but I don’t think anyone who has actually done hard manual labor for 10-12 hour shifts is going to tell you it’s so much easier than the ‘responsibility of coming in on budget’. It’s simply not the same.
Of course not. I never said otherwise, and said everyone should be decently paid.
Ok, awesome, so the laborers busting their balls every day should make the same money as the middle managers on the computers
I'm not wasting time on someone intent on "winning" than on inner standing. Maybe you really don't get it, somehow I doubt it. The bottom line is, if you can't post everyone a living wage (more than scraping by), you can't afford to be in business or you're too greedy.
… yeah no shit man. Did you come here just to regurgitate vaguely progressive talking points or actually discuss anything that anyone is actually talking about.
I’m sure it makes you feel very good to just kind of say things that are obvious and completely ignore anything I actually say.
Why don’t you respond to my last comment? Laborers should typically make as much as middle management on computers, right?
Be careful! Don’t make up another conversation that no one said and respond to that instead!
