- mcv 8y agoMakes me wonder whether it might actually save money to pay those people better.
- ianlevesque 8y agoYes.
- sokoloff 8y agoA bonus based on damage/late customer reports on boxes that passed through the facility is more likely to work than simply increasing base. Put everyone’s (extra) cash on the line and aligned with customer outcomes.
- randallsquared 8y agoSort of a tragedy-of-the-commons bonus, then? Individual employees have the power to block bonuses, but not the power to ensure that they are not blocked, under this plan.
- sokoloff 8y agoMore likely a community policing of the commons. It’s not like Joe is secretly taking a package into the men’s room and smashing it. He’s doing it in full view and awareness of his co-workers in all likelihood. “Hey Joe, stop that, you’re killing our bonus!”
- rootusrootus 8y agoI'm willing to bet UPS has calculated this.
