i’d wager that in most cases “low wage, low education” workers have much better morals than your “highly educated well paid” team.

- goto11 7y agoWhy do you think that?
- kmlx 7y agopower corrupts.
- Operyl 7y agoI'd probably guess the "gap" of morals isn't that large between the middle class the GP is talking about compared to the low class.
- usrusr 7y agoThe problem isn't a single-value metric of morals, whatever that may be, the problem is that one group is bored and not invested in the project while the other has far more exciting things to do than wondering who they might be listening to.
- donkeyd 7y agoThanks, that is exactly what concerns me.
- donkeyd 7y agoMaybe, I'm just making an observation. My biggest issue is that lack of control over outsourced workers over internal workers. In my situation it was very clear that breaching the agreements would not just lead to direct end of contract, but also possible legal steps and a permanent record, leading to a much smaller chance for a similar job, for which I've specifically had an education. For uneducated workers, this if often less of an issue, especially for off-shore workers. I also don't think low wage/education workers have less morals, but as the workforce gets bigger the chance of bad apples also gets bigger. I wrote exactly that in my previous comment.
- lotsofpulp 7y agoAssuming wage is a proxy for power, I would bet they just haven’t had a chance to excercise their morals yet. There’s a saying about power corrupting.
- pluma 7y agoI'd wager "low wage, low education" workers are more likely to be simply acting immorally in different ways. The "high education well paid" team is more likely to do something with far reaching harmful impact whereas the "low wage, low education" worker doesn't have the power to do anything at that scale.
