[99] ADHH: I do not think that being lazy in an exploitive system
is necessarily a character flaw. In most jobs, the
employee makes a standard hourly wage. Regardless of
how hard he or she works or doesn't work, there is no
increase or decrease in his or her wage. For
example, in a small office situation, an employee is
hired to perform specific tasks. Once this employee
has mastered those tasks, the boss gives that employee
more to do and expects a higher level of output
without any increase in wage. The harder the employee
works, the more work they are given to do and expected
to get done in this system without an increase in
monetary rewards. The increased workload benefits the
owners of the company while increasing the stress
level and decreasing the well-being of the employee.
Is that a fair trade? I don't think so. If a person
is not looking for advancement, or if there is nowhere
to go and hard work is not rewarded, why work harder? |
