Funny that I see companies complaining about the lack of skilled workers here in Brazil, but they are not startups... they just don't want to pay the price.
They want engineers, programers, etc. with huge experience and paying a little. Just yesterday I saw a news article talking about the lack of car mechanics... and they say (like it is a great thing) that salaries go high as $450 bucks a month (40h per week)... they don't understand why nobody wants to be a mechanic :P
- caw 14y agoTotal compensation or salary? I'm pretty sure mechanics are paid a base + commission of the sale. The less time they spend fixing the car the more commission they can make (as they move on to the next car). It's an incentive to work. If the labor takes more than the estimate, then the shop and the employee are losing money.
- alberich 14y agoIt seems this sum is all they get, as they said most mechanics prefer to work on their own (informally) as they get more money. Besides, comissions don't contribute for their final retirement salary and stuff like that.
