Very good post.
Now, the question is this: Why did compensation deviate from productivity and what will it take to change this, and realign compensation with productivity?
I would submit that the deviation occurred because workers became complacent and apathetic toward their own pay and began settling for pay that was lower in value than their production. The best way to counteract this trend is for workers to be more assertive and advocate for their own compensation.
The best way to lose a job working for me is to demand I give you something. Don't like the situation, leave. I'll fill the spot tomorrow.
Cool story bro. I never said anything about demanding anything. I said that workers need to be more assertive and to advocate for their own compensation.
When you said they should be more assertive, you didn't have to use the word demanding. The terms means confidently aggressive with synonyms of forceful or demanding. The opposite of being complacent or apathetic is demanding. To demand something means you believe you deserve it and you are very clear that you think workers deserve more compensation.
You're one illiterate son of a bitch. Being assertive does not mean demanding. And you're clearly one shitty leader.
So you assert yourself in a timid manner? Assertive means forceful, pushy, aggressive, etc. It's not me saying, it's the thesaurus. Argue with it.
You clearly wouldn't make a good follower. You clearly don't understand that the boss is in charge and you work for him, he/she doesn't work for you.
Doubling down on your stupid does not make you smart, it just makes you twice as stupid. Assertiveness is not aggressiveness. The fact that you see assertiveness as such indicates that you are a weak, pathetic loser. You take all actions of non-passivity to be an aggressive action against you. PATHETIC! You sound like a whiny little four year old crying because the next door neighbor won't let you play with his toys.
