Comparing what to which? I agree with the emboldened part. The rest is something that you seem to have made it up so I will leave that to you to clarify. I don't see how anyone can know a "good worker" from a bad worker" until they have been working for you for a long time so how could anyone make a conscious decision you have described?
Just so we are singing from the same hymn sheet. If you are Directly in the Employ of a company, They pay your wages and their part of the SSS, if You are employed by an Agency they pay your wages and SSS then invoice the Company ( whether the two wages are on Par I don't know) You're sent to wherever you are needed but I understand that Certain Companies prefer to know in Advance who they are getting (For Obvious reasons) Security companies work the same and thus we sometimes see new guards for a while then back to the old ones, I guess we can call it supply and Demand
If you lived your whole life getting screwed in the @ss without lube you may see that as normal.....until you found out KY was a thing. I think the law is requiring employers to apply just a dab of lube before screwing their employees. They are still getting screwed...but at least it will go in a bit smoother.
I hope all this multi quoting stuff comes out clearly and correctly. Starting pay for good employees versus bad employees. You said: and On one hand, you are suggest that they could intentionally be hiring poor workers (who are cheaper) so they can employ more people. On the other hand, you and Jack are saying that it's not possible to tell up front and there needs to be a period OJT to determine the worth of an employee. This would lead to the starting pay being the same for both good and poor employees as the quality of an employee can not be determined at the hiring time. I've re-quoted myself below to give context to your quote above and adding the highlighting you did to my post: Are you saying that businesses care about the employment situation in the Philippines and to address it, they have made the conscience decision to hire bad workers at a reduced wage? I didn't make up anything. See your highlighted quote at the beginning of the post. I'm just repeating what you wrote, maybe not in the exact same words, but it has the same sentiment. It's possible that I'm misinterpreting something, but nothing is being made up. Feel free to clarify if you desire. How is that care shown? Does a business care more about income or the employees in the Philippines? Are you saying that workers under contract can not be fired for cause? That an employer is required to keep them until the end of the contract? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I get the feeling they may be a bit of devil's advocate going on here from you. I'm interested in knowing why you believe what you believe, not you chosing a different side than me and having a debate. I think were getting close to closing out the conversation, but hopefully you don't mind answering the couple of questions posed in this post before we do.
Me since the other day: “Oh please please God, let the lube lady accept my resignation today! I promise to endure the cheap lube for a month more as stated in the contract.” Truth is it can happen anywhere.
I disagree. I believe you are just looking for more posts from me, and others like me, to give you more ammunition to argue with. Carry on and have a great day, but go argue with someone else.
I'd call it a discussion or an exchange of different views, but you may see it another way. Have a great day, too.
