2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Does anyone know how much Senator Sanders pays his campaign workers. [View all]Agschmid
(28,749 posts)I think for a few reasons...
- Better candidates to pick from, as the non working labor pool shrinks businesses who pay more get better candidates.
- Retention, business who pay more starting are able to retain employees longer.
- Job Repsinsibility/Workplace Pride, employees who are paid more "may" be more productive, and may help recruit more employees though pride in their employer etc.
Right now I am having real issues with wage compression, we increased our base level employees but never addressed compression with our more tenured staff. This has caused discontent among some of those longer term employees. While I understand that it's better to have everyone making more than the minimum, not everyone does.
Sure will be interesting to see what happens.
