I worked in Indonesia on a project in the early 90’s.
I would give my local field helpers a Snickers bar at lunch, and one on the drive home. One time they were lazy and I didn’t give them the one on the way home.
Their local boss told me they were very upset about it. He explained that they got paid 50 cents an hour - so that candy was worth much more to them.
I commented to the one worker that could speak English - “You get paid 50 cents an hour!?”
“Oh YES! Best in all of Indonesia (was a Canadian run mine). PLUS free room and board! In six years I will have enough money to build my family our own home!”
His lodging was in a dorm that looked about like the photos. Other workers lived in converted shipping containers!
So, did they learn their lesson?
