A friend of mine organized a safari business in SA. It was a normal thing for the workers he had to receive the salary pay and disappear for a week until they had burned it, and then will come back.
So he had to pay different people at different times and talk with the women in their environment in order for his business to work.
- geomark 5y agoSounds familiar. When I was building my house (not in SA) the construction workers would often disappear after getting paid. I would go looking for them in the village and find them on a bender. They would come back when they needed more booze money. It was pretty obvious why they did not have many opportunities to get ahead, and never would.

- nojokes 5y agoHaving seen such a problem elsewhere, mostly having a stable life, normal family, educated and fed kids etc. Also naturally no addiction that is wasting your life away.
- geomark 5y agoYeah, pretty much this.
- sangnoir 5y agoDo you know how much where they being paid? In my experience, this only happens when the wages are very low. I don't know the direction of causality: do higher wages motivate workers not to be more professional, or do low wages result in the 'good' workers avoiding those jobs? Even in the US, a lot of minimum-wage McJobs have relatively high levels of absenteeism
