Subject: Re: You’re paying what?!?
“It’s not about what a company deserves, that’s not the purpose of my post…My post is about paying people their worth.”
It seems you didn’t understand that I’m trying to agree with you. I can’t believe I actually have to explain my snarky post to you, but here we go…
My post was about paying people their worth. You might have missed it because I framed it as “if you don’t pay what people are worth, the only people that you’ll get won’t be worth what little you DO pay.” If they pay garbage for a skilled trade then they deserve to get the only kind of people that will accept such pay for such work: the kind that either can’t do it competently or that will quickly leave once they’ve exploited the company’s “good will” as a practice field in which to make all their mistakes and climb up to a better-paying job.
