Right. If only select people could run the backhoe because of training, but anyone could shovel, then it would make sense that part of the productivity enhancements comes from the employee themselves. But let's just say the backhoe didn't require any special training. Should the worker capture some of the performance improvements that were derived purely from the business investing in productivity enhancements?
- AnimalMuppet 6y ago> But let's just say the backhoe didn't require any special training. Can you give me an example of any more-advanced and more-productive tool that does not require at least some special training?
- oh_sigh 6y agoSure - a manual screwdriver versus an electric screwdriver.
- ozim 6y agoYou write it at the end "improvements that were derived purely from the business investing in productivity enhancements". Don't forget investment involves risk. If you buy a backhoe, you might not find customers and you are left with useless backhoe and money spent, you still have to pay the wages to your employees first. Employee is not participating in any of that risk.
