Corperation Evils
•
by Comrade Robb
I have recently been trialing the forums and have noticed many new players saying that life is hard, there companies cut their pay or thier pay is to low and they can't afford basic Q1 food.
Now I know there are all sorts of things to do like only work in one skill area and focus but really they shouldn't have to choose between trainin or work just to survive. Many are below Wellness 40, I myself am under 40. If a war suddenly broke out then I'd be screwed.
Corperate evils are now at large abroad and are only in it for the money, now theres nothign wrong with a bit of capitalism and I don't want sound like a whinging Socialist prat but the side effects of this Corperate Capital are takin thier toll on the young and the poor.
Thankful I work for a company that in the last week has given me 2 pay rises. Fly Australlia (or indeed the whole Inside Inc.) Has so far been an exception. This is a good thing, but companies like this seem too far and few between to be a driving force. We need fresh buisnessmen/women who remember what it was like as a basic worker fodder and set thier Wages high and prices low.
People buy the cheapest and work for the highest therefore sheer numbers of workers would offset the cheap prices.

There are a lot of good companys out there Rob,
it's just ussually the ones offering the highest wages on the human resources page are the bad ones; They offer to high a wage and end up going backwards, hence the wage cuts.
New workers produce next to nothing, hence needing to pay them a low wage. So they can only afford Q1 food and their wellness goes backwards, when they gain some skill they just need to start buying Q2 food.
There is quite a bit of Q1 food out there selling for around $1-$1.2 which is affordable for new players, also if they stick at it they should get pay raises since they gain skill so quickly and be able to afford Q2 food, which will get they wellness going up
Lastly, your plan is good in merit, but it is kind of contradictory, Aus has a worker shortage so one company employing loads of workers would soon become the evil one. On top of that, 10 workers gives you maximum productivity, employing more means less productivity so spreading workers across companys is better for the economy. They would have to charge more than someone employing 10 workers.
It's a two-way street. I regularly gift my workers and hand out food when necessary (when I'm able), but if workers can't maintain a healthy wellness they become less productive and wage cuts become necessary to the survival of the business.
Furthermore, workers need only work for a week to reach level two, at which point higher salaries may be expected. Yet so many new workers work once or twice and disappear. Things are starting to pick up now, but my Q1 grain company of two months now is still yet to make me any profit - it goes to the employees.
You raise interesting points comrade
The current capitalist system is one of the better in the world but the labour limitations make it hard for companies, no matter how Socially Responsible, to actually produce enough goods to be viable in the way that the capitalist model dictates
When I was new , I ate Q1 on odd numbered days , and Q2 on even numbered days . I trained whenever my wellness was over 50 . Then I got a house , and elife was good .

@Far Flung Enterprises,
Imagine what our enation would be like if every company was managed like yours, with liberal state funding if necessary, democratically elected managers and unfettered co-operation between companies, free from the constraints of capitalist competition.
