> What was the cost difference? Doesn't matter. I bet it adversely affected someone's bonus and that was why it was scrapped.

  What if instead of an extra $3/hr, the differential pay were an extra $10,000/hr? Obviously then the cost difference would matter. So, there must be a cutoff somewhere. Is the cutoff more than $3 or less than $3? We don't have enough information to know, nor do we have enough information to know whether upper management were just being comic book villains or whether their decision was based on crunching the numbers.

    Might be the type of cost. Outsourced = expense Salary increase = fixed cost can only write-off %. It's probably the other managers who don't have the issue not wanting to increase their wages. Or explaining why the worst employees were paid more etc.

      > explaining why the worst employees were paid more except they were likely only viewed as 'worst employees' because of the theft. stopping theft - internal and external - would normally be chalked up to 'best employees', who would be quite deserving of raises (in a hypothetical world).
