Careful with what you hear about education. Most of us work summer jobs to fill in the gaps from where we're only employed 9 months a year. Also have to factor in the unpaid faculty development and in-service seminars.

Educators have the option to receive checks throughout the year even though school is out for the summer correct?

Do you seriously think if boss says get x done in y amount of hours that it will get done because boss says so? If you want x done you pay by the piece with an incremental pay structure and a bonus for over producing.

Considering most people dont actually make anything at all, how do you see this working?

1. Employer says get X done by EOB. Work day is 8 hours. Worker gets X done by EOB.
2. Employer says get X done by EOB. Work day is 7 hours. Worker gets X done by EOB.

In both cases the boss should be happy. He got what he asked for. If the employer is pissed his workers are getting the same X done in less time that's an employer problem. Not a worker problem.

If you are on salary you are getting paid the same, no matter how much or how little you produce, or time in the office. No point in the worker busting his ass if he isnt getting paid more to bust his ass.

Come up with a profit sharing business and you see both get happier.

You should be in a union.

If I made widgets I would absolutely pay by the piece. Need 10 widgets done in a shift and you get them done in 4 hours, go home.
Louder takes 10 hours it's on him.

Dont worry I am done in 4 hours. Boss just makes me stay because she cant keep up and might have questions later.

Did you hear about the government employee who was lonely and bored? They hired another worker to keep him company

Yep, it's all about incentives. If someone works hard for 4 hours and makes the same amount someone working 10 hours does being a lazy ass where would you rather work?

Most companies running repetitive manufacturing operations already use a 4 day/3 day model for direct labor employees.

So for all those BLM and Antifa snowflakes who don’t work and just protest all day, do they get a four day protest schedule each week too?

You've been told never to work for a female.

Old guy is like that too. There is a very built in mindset if you arent at your desk for 8 hours you arent working. Saw it in the requirements for working from the office after Covid even with production not suffering from work at home.

The middle managers have to justify their job by bothering the little people.

Why is everyone desperate for employees then?

I'm not sure. My wife has been applying everywhere she can and only recently got a bite. As a deli worker at the local grocery. She kept being turned down as over qualified at the retail stores and libraries she applied to.

Also, we know several people who started their own businesses during the pandemic. My wife is using her free time trying to start an online writing tutoring business to roll out wherever we move to.

Yes. You can opt to get paid for 9 months and get a larger paycheck or stretch it to 12 months and give your employer a loan that they get the interest from.

I hate to say it, but that was hilarious. I needed that laugh.
