Then why has no one been “rewarded” for huge amounts of productivity increases since the 70s?
Oh. Right. They “rewarded” the CEO greedclass
I guess he’s supporting giving himself a big paycut then
Ok. How far back should we go? I’m feeling the 1970s and go from there. Oh lokkie here it shows that the poor and middle class have doubled their productivity. Oh wait wages have been effectively slashed? Hmm.
Wages have increased since 1970-s and prices have dropped. Sorry to bust your narrative.
There’s a good post on Reddit with video proof from 1977 - https://www.reddit.com/r/Britain/comments/15s3zsw/food_prices_back_in_1977/
The basket showed in the video is £26.17 in today’s money. It will cost £22.06 today from the same Tesco. There are more examples in the comments. In short: everything is chaper now and people earn more. It’s a fact.
So NHS workers after COVID should be on a fair whack then
I agree that productivity should be rewarded, but that’s not what happens. If you work hard, the company will realise that they can get the same work done with fewer employees and will reduce work hours to increase profits instead of rewarding you.
