The danger of this sort of an incentive is that there may be some hidden externalities that will be exposed. I wonder if the accident rate per shift also increased when this system was established (c.f. Dominos delivery and unintended liability...)
- tezza 16y agoI was a driver for a big pizza firm. We were paid bonuses depending on how fast we delivered. Unfortunately for me, I wasn't close friends with the manager of the store. He gave all the shortest runs to all his mates, making it nigh on impossible to get a bonus unless you suffered his patronage.
