Their employer keeps paying them, so the amount of work they are doing is about right.
- catchnear4321 3y agocompanies do not, and at times cannot, simply hire and fire as inefficiencies are noticed. it is a process, and often a poor one. the employer keeps paying them, so the larger system evidently tolerates their current efforts. for the time being. this is not the same as their amount of work being about right. unless you intend to say that milking a system without hitting the breaking point is optimal.

- verve_rat 3y agoWhy shouldn't workers maximise their utility? If you want someone to work harder than they "should", you need to motivate them somehow.
