“..that they are getting paid what they are worth...”
I remember the first time I started working for my old man doing odd jobs around his projects.
“Okay. Well, I’d pay you what you are worth - but I don’t think you’d work that cheap. How does $5 an hour sound?”
(This was 1974 mind you at the age of 14 - it sounded like $50 today!!)
I started work in a union shop bull gang at $4.68 hr in 1974 for the summer after high school before going into the Army in the Fall.
That was great pay after working for $1.60 hr in the grocery store. But it was bub-kiss compared to the commission pay at the Ford garage.
I’ve sought commission pay ever since, and am ultimately self employed.
People get paid for how they market themselves, or whatever they settle for. I don’t understand why anyone would not be looking for more opportunity someplace else while they worked at a job they did not like.
