My statement is that the likes of HC, you, DD and the rest wouldn't recognize a British conservative if one walked up and spat on you. Which is plausible.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Incidentally you don't seem to have much to say about the pope showing that your capitalism worship makes you an awful Catholic. Having faith issues all of a sudden?
I've worked on assembly line processing before... Generally half your work is done by 10 percent of your people. You could fire 90 percent and double shift the remainder and make more money that way.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

It's too bad Ben loves teaching too much to revolutionize manufacturing with his management wisdom.
I also worked as a treeplanter, and that is precisely what my foreman did. He used to poach people from the other crews. He did all the little things right to make our job easier. We were first out the door (at 4am!), first to the reefer, first to the cutblock and first back in for dinner. Every day we got the best food at breakfast, for lunch and for dinner. We owned all the bonus pay for 'crew of the day' for 2 months straight plus all the free **** from our clients.
After about halfway through - I was his assistant. I got to do everything he did without the hassles of having to motivate people. I just did the ****ty parts of his job because it made the crew faster. Good money.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Originally posted by Ben Kenobi View PostI don't worship capitalism. What issues? Capitalism is a tool. I believe that people are better off with capitalism than without and that employers who treat their employees well will earn more profit than those who treat them as disposable trash. It's all about man unit efficiency. You can try what this man is doing, squeezing tiny productivity over a large number of man units by keeping his unit costs down - or you can hire only the fastest and best people and make a profit that way.

You've claimed to have had so many jobs, that it's mathematically impossible at this point that you could have spent more than 7 minutes in any of them.
Yeah, I've had a lot of jobs.
Let's see.
Brushcutter, treeplanter, bindery, dayshift delivery driver, travelling inventory clerk, various office assistant positions over the year (which includes my time as a lobbyist, data processing, tutoring and now teaching. Not to mention the data entry that I've always done on the side. Plus the occasional freelancing.
I've temped and I'm not counting all those positions too. Until this job here - I'd never worked on a salary and it was quite some time before I got a job with an hourly wage and not piece work. My inventory job was the first one that I wasn't paid by the piece, and I didn't get that one till I was 22.
What's to say? I like contract work. I don't see what's wrong with it. It means once the job is done, I have to move to another job.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.
