Depends on the worker no? In my experience people who are given something for no effort, usually don't appreciate the thing.Oh and people who are paid decently work harder than people who are paid shitty.How does it not justify it? Do you realize how ridiculous you sound? You're talking about borderline slavery here dude.
And no, it is far from fuzzy. It based off tangible ideas like inflation, cost of living rates, and prices of goods and services.
so we force a person to work at McDonalds? We force them to screw up their life in such a way that a low paying job is the only thing available?
If a person is paid more than the value they add to something, one of two things has to happen, either the price of that something goes up, negating any increase they get in wages, or the company has to cut something to make the something still viable. The outside option is the something isn't done anymore, and everyone loses their job.
Nice non-response to my questions.
A minimum wage worker at $7 an hour suddenly gets all motivated at $10 an hour??? Really???
Pay raises can be vital to a Worker's performance and productivity. And Corporations have become despicably stingy. So yes, at $10 an hour you will likely have a more motivated productive worker.
Well, you don't have to worry about that anymore. Corporations are disgustingly stingy at this point. They're not handing our pay raises very often. And when they do, they're embarrassingly minuscule increases. It's pretty sad. They've removed the incentive aspect. Better-compensated workers are better workers for the most part.
