Idk have you ever considered because the boss wants to minimize costs and paying engineers 50x (or even 2x or w/e) isn't the norm in the industry so they don't?

Idk have you ever considered because the boss wants to minimize costs and paying engineers 50x (or even 2x or w/e) isn't the norm in the industry so they don't? Chalking it up to "it's hard to evaluate" seems to be missing common sense.
- bentona 6y agoThe article alludes to this but maybe doesn’t point it out clearly enough: they can only minimize cost in this way _because_ it’s hard to evaluate - otherwise the engineers in question would just work somewhere else where their value would immediately be recognized.
