With the legal fees piling quickly on me, I had no choice but to take a job in order to be able to pay the bills. Needless to say it is quiet an experience, which I hope will only last temporarily. I have been at the job only for 6 days, and already am completely surprised that my employer is wasting tons of money in the areas that are absolutely under their control.
I will be writing about my experience in the course of next few weeks as I believe it will only reinforce my conviction that affiliate marketing and it’s “pay for performance” model is the best way to reward hard working and innovative people. I also believe that “hourly pay” is a bad news no matter what kind of business or company are employing it.
While I only worked at my new job for less than a week, I have managed to upset several of my coworkers. Reason? I was doing my job to fast. One night we were finished with what had to be done entire hour ahead of time. Now, I am in no way trying to come down on my coworkers- they all are very hard working people. However the policy of the company we work for is that if you don’t put in 40 hours each week you will see deduction on your paycheck. While at the same time it is against company’s policy to offer employees overtime. Doesn’t make much sense if you asked me.
The problem that I see with this model is following. Employees are intentionally prolonging their “clocked in” time, even if they can finish certain tasks in a friction of the time.
While the company I am employed by may be convinced they are saving their money. It is quiet clear that they can improve dramatically things had they rewarded performance of each employee. This also can create a healthy competition among the employees if they new their pay was based on job well done rather than the time they put in.
Looking back at the interview I went to before getting hires, I can not help but chuckle. I was told that 3/4 of the company’s employees ended up in the management. And that “the sky was the limit”! Respectfully I have to disagree. Unless you begin to reward your employees based on performance, “the sky is the limit” really means nothing.
hahahaha…. you got me. I always try to prolong my clock in time to get the most money. Sometimes I hate my job, but bills need to be paid. I cannot wait for my internet business to kick off so I don't have to worry about completing 40 hours per week for a measly check.
