Why is that a good thing?
- dijit 1y agoits not, its a method of “x-washing”. IE; Green-washing[0] and so forth. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwashing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwashing
- hinkley 1y agoMore like commoditization of your complement.
- OJFord 1y agoI don't read GP as saying it's a good thing necessarily, just pointing out that it can be or become a bit arbitrary.
- IshKebab 1y agoIt's not. He's just pointing out that their "we pay everyone the same" line probably isn't true.
- hinkley 1y agoI suppose it depends. Maybe something isn’t worth doing in house. Like for instance if the parts show up unfinished or damaged you don’t pay someone to straighten bent rails, chamfer bolt holes and de-burr surfaces. Maybe you pay the vendor a bit more, find a new vendor, or hire a middleman to bring the parts in ready to ship. Paying your support staff well is virtue signaling to be sure but as someone who’s always had a soft spot for top shelf QA and support folk, that’s not a bad thing.
