Lmao. I'm talking about management and union officials.
I get paid insanely well for my area. Our insurance is fucking top tier. Doctor? 20. Hospital? 150. 10k infusion? 15. Deductible? Haven't touched it in twelve years. We do well, and people don't care. Management is shit, which helps none.
Corporate incentives are just not set up for quality. They treat employees like they're unimportant and replaceable. Pay isn't everything.
Im trying to say that money needs to be spent with strings attatched to the outcome you want, and you have to make the job worth doing to get those results you are explicitly paying for or you wont get it. It also means that if someone is not caring they need to be gone.
It makes sense to me, but im not sure im explaining it right
I get you. Proper management is a game of incentives.
If you offer a manager 15% over his highest paid employee, are you promoting good employees or inflating costs?
Or if you base it on number of employees? Same thing.
The reality seems to be that incentives are fucking hard and large corps can eat it because [government regs|capitalism] make it profitable.
It's all about metrics. MBA metrics are taught. Same as HR. When ford tried to overpay his workers and offer better hours he got fucking sued.
Thats a curious anecdote about ford.
Now if only there was a technology that could make me about a 1minute long movie about it...
I'm sorry but I'm kind of confused.
I failed at being clever at referencing the Sora AI for video which is limited to 1 minute.
Was saying it would make an interesting video documentary. Well i thought that was what i was saying. It made sense in my head lol
Fair enough.
