Vague_Boy Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Why do supermarkets make all these half yearly billions pounds profit? The vast number of customers who shop there? (Might have something to do with it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tshombe Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 im sure you are stew, and i care about other people too, but what is stopping them going out and becoming qualified? if the supermarkets lost this easily accessable pool of people they would soon be forced to up the wages to entice staff. Not everyone is capable of gaining qualifications but they and their families still deserve a fair crack at the whip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tshombe Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 the jobs are their for the taking because some individual feel its their god given right to have more and will sit on the dole until it arrives - people need to wise up, get off their bums and make something for themselves! If some people get more on benefits than they would on the minimum wage it proves how wrong the minimum wage is. If people still get benefits whilst earning the minimum wage then that shows Jo Public's taxes are subsidising the minimum wage payers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tshombe Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I suggest if they want a life outside of menial work and low pay, they seek to educate and better themselves. Are you suggesting that everyone is capable of reaching higher education level. If you are then I sugest that you take a course in reality.

epiphany Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Most businesses are short sighted. How much would worker productivity increase if their remuneration was more intrinsically linked to the company's overall performance? If a company really wants to motivate its staff, it should think about making them feel a part of the company rather than a rented tool. Hats off to the companies that offer genuine benefits, democratic workplaces and profit share schemes. They are the companies governments should be rewarding via tax breaks. The problem with the typical waged worker is that they become so easily disillusioned when, year after year of increasing productivity and contributing to the significant capital growth of the company, their pay remains flat. We need employees, more than we realise, so businesses should think beyond the single bottom line and keeping their minority stakeholders fat, because in the long term it can actually prove self destructive.
