Comment on Unions seek gains in hostile territory: ‘If you change the South, you change America’
bluGill@kbin.social 9 months agoMetrics can be abused. That doesn't mean metrics are bad, it just means that you have to be careful how you use them. Which most people who work with metrics already know.
Not using objective metrics is very bad if you want to get ahead of the lazy do the minimum person who was hired just before you. If you can do better work: you should be worth more money. Note that I said better and not more. While more is a factor; safety, higher quality, not burning out, and cost are all factors of better (you should assume there are more factors as well that I'm not aware of)

Oh. It’s a good thing bosses can be trusted to be upright and virtuous and never play favorites.
If you’re working harder than he is, it’s because you’re a sucker who is voluntarily exploiting yourself. The union is not constraining your boss’ magnanimity; it’s constraining his ability to exploit you.
Or your ability to exploit your workers.

No, the union is constraining my boss's ability to reward me for working harder.
Working for wage is not about exploitation. That propaganda is one of the problems I have with unions.

I can’t imagine seriously believing this. Your worldview is based on overt denial of things I consider to be obvious and true. We have no common ground on which to have a conversation and I am uninterested in trying to argue with you. You’ve already convinced yourself of rank absurdity.
