FACT NOTE- if a company is making less than 2% profit, there are 2 main
reasons i feel...the owners and members are paying themselves too much or the
company is just not successful (bad market, lazy workers or just incompetent
workers). Say a company has 30 workers out of 200 who are on salary, the salary
by legal requirements is paid for 38 hrs a week...but these workers work 55 hrs
a week due to pressure to make up x...what have we got as extra labour; 17 hrs
x 30 workers = 510hrs a week, 510 hrs x 48 weeks = 24480 hrs a year x $40 per
hour = $979,200.00 per year, what does this sum mean; this sum is the total of
free labour given free to that company so it can make more money above its
unsustainable position . What does the worker get? just more pressure to work harder
and longer...it's no wonder we are all getting burnt out!...if a company cannot
afford to pay the real cost of labour (or pay people as humans not slaves) then
that company should not be operating. Imagine if we went back totally to the
paid by hr wage? - It’s kind of like the governments constant over spending, to
recover costs the incompetent government has spent (wasted), it just increases
taxs etc...the way a company does it is by increasing work load (job
multitasking), more bang for the buck...the company then turns around and says
things like "these are tough times, we need you to put a bit more in to
save your jobs" just to make you feel bad for expecting what you deserve,
a fair a reasonable rate for your labour. Then you can see why a company
operating on such tight margins cannot follow safety in any reasonable
manner...there is no margin for more time delays.
Its about a different perspective
It’s amazing when those who think they like free speech turn away when questioned. Extremist views on the nature of things grant nothing but extremism itself. You want to live in grey, then stop pushing and advertising an ideology, for as soon as a person speaks their mind, they are making their opinion...MD / The photo represents the naive thinking that one can think in an unconscious grey state of mind: you cannot think in an unconscious state (thinking is an effort). I am not sure where some get their expert titles from! The grey area represents those who think grey areas is where safety should be. Status Quo is the alternative solution that may emerge over time in following of those who think they know all. An head up arse is just where some people thrive...sorry
