Because business is a market. If your competitors are offering cheaper, faster jobs why would they pick you? As long as the corner cutting doesn't affect the customer, the latter is a better deal. The cynical reality is that safety violations affecting workers don't really matter to most customers, the end result and the cost of obtain it do.
The more realistic scenario is less pay in exchange for slower hours.
- viraptor 4y ago> your competitors are offering cheaper, faster jobs why would they pick you? Quality and availability. Fewer better paid jobs in the pipeline means they can decide to pay extra for less waiting and a not-rushed job.
- Manuel_D 4y agoNon-rushed means more waiting, not less. Why would I pay extra for that?
- viraptor 4y agoYou're missing the part where higher cost reduces your backlog, so there's lower waiting time overall. (I'm assuming there's backlog if the company is trying to rush jobs and allowing overtime)
- Manuel_D 4y agoAs a client, I don't care if a contractor has one or a hundred jobs. If one contractor is providing the same quality job at the same price in shorter time, that's strictly better. There has to be a reason to justify higher costs. If that's not either higher quality, or faster time to completion, there is no reason to command a premium.
