re: #235 Aceofwhat?
well, that’s dumb. increased output / increased time = 0 productivity increase.
at every place i’ve worked, a productivity improvement as a result of an improved scheme or piece of equipment = a productivity improvement.
a productivity improvement as a result of an employee’s efforts or suggestions = a productivity improvement and a bonus (or larger-than-usual raise) for the employee.
not sure why that’s so awful.
the problem is that the employer in your reply who gives a proportionate reward to their employee for the extra effort leading to increased profits for the company is not as common as one might desire
