Comment on Watch: Billionaire CEO says unemployment 'has to jump' to put 'arrogant' workers in their place
AlternatePersonMan@lemmy.world 9 months agoI would argue that “these working professionals” are not paid accordingly. If you’re expecting more of them, pay more. Top talent tends to go where the money is.
If you’re wondering where the money should come from, see: out of touch billionaires.

I don’t want to go into too much detail, but 1.5 times the countries median wage - not minimum, not living, 1.5 times the countries average income - should be enough to get people to be able to answer a phone and respond to basic emails in a timely matter (like, 24 hours) when people’s lives and financial security are on the line.
This isn’t a top-talent argument - its acting with a basic sense of actually doing work while you are being paid.

Depends entirely on the cost of living in that country.
If even 2 times the average income is not enough to sustain a comfortable living, then it is still not worth it to work. And that country is shit.
An entire country can underpay all their workers when the employers are greedy cunts.

While you have a valid arguement in this example 1.5 times median is about 60% above living wage.
