Government companys and the "Maximum Productivity" scheme

Perhaps the two major points of the MoI's report for this term:
Companys employing too many workers will face a government boycott
Companys offering rediculous wages will face a government boycott
These are the rules that are to be upheld by GMs, but what about the government themselves?
Are they setting double standards for the rest of us?
Lets look at some of the companys controled by the government
The Department of housing, a Q1 housing company in the NT employs 31 workers - by the government rules construction is only allowed to employ 30 workers.
According to the MoI report "spread[ing] workers across companies which will ease the demand for them. This will bring wages down and in turn prices overall benefiting everyone."
If that is the case why does the Department of housing's practices go against the MoI report, instead doing the opposite?
On the opposite end of the scale is the biggest Australian investment to date, The Q5 Hospital, they employ only 6 people.
Thats 14 off maximum productivity. Whereas their own housing company employs 16 people over maximum productivity (reducing their own productivity by 1/2)
Why not move the most skilled workers in housing over to the hospital? Sure they would need a substantial raise but it would increase the poductivity of both the workers in the hospital and the housing company.
The other major point of the MoI report, the MoI tells GMs not to offer "outrageous wages" for the purpose of avoiding wage wars and curbing inflation.
Why is it then that Medicare diamonds and Department of Housing are offering the highest wage for new workers by 1c?
Both companys have too many workers as it is, and are supposed to be training companys.
My impression of training companys was government run companys there to provide work to new players when the private sector isnt, but these ones are competeing with private companys to employ new citizens.
In the MoI report it is stated that companys offering "outrageous wages" are damaging, but does not go on to say what an outrageous wage is.
A skill 0 worker does not make a company $1.21. What then posesses the government to offer this wage from a training company?
Surely paying workers a higher amount than they make is bad for the ecconomy, and if thats the case then do these wages count as outrageous?
Government companys under the guise of training companys are offering what I would call outrageous wages to get the new employees that private companys desperatly need. What really astounds me is that they already over employ.
I urge the government to please live up to your own standards.

Erm, the hospital only has 6 workers because its Q5...
Adding 1 more employee, even of skill 0, increaces your profits
I was proposing was moving the best employees too
Because its Q5 less skilled employees cant work there, even if the do increase overall productivity?
Why does the government get involved in a highly competative and extremely low profitable buisness? My reasons for closing my housing company were simple to stop productivity so I could upgrade more freely and because low quality houses have huge competativness going on in it.
And to say they are going to boycott companys with large amount of workers then doing this is outragously deseptive to put these regulations on other company's.
It's got too much of a wellness hit for new players.
hmm i think there seems to be some errors in the article but w/e. whats up with the lack of q food l8ly? ive been unable to grab ne for a while now and my wellness is suffering. all there are is q1 -.-
There'll be more Q2 soon...
Mouj, are you saying new players can't understand that 50-5=45? If what you pay them is enough to cover Q4/5 food whats the problem?
Anyway I was proposing moving the higher skilled workers to the hospital, not brand new employees.
the wages for both medicare diamonds and housing was to lure workers into those industries. I was at school today, and when I got home there was a huge influx of workers. If anyone wants to take some of these workers PM them then PM me to fire them.
The Q5 hospital won't employ less then Q3 workers. It will raise the building cost for the hospital as we would have to offer high wages for low skills to pay for high Q food (something I thought the ANP was against spending. It will also kill there wellness levels
The 1c issue was to get workers into construction and land as workers are need there the most
do i hear an expose coming along here...
no just an election 😉
lol patti, just convienient timing
With the exess employees, why offer that many positions in the first place?
like I said we need workers in those industries, although I have to admit I didn't expect that much of an influx.
'Mouj, are you saying new players can't understand that 50-5=45? If what you pay them is enough to cover Q4/5 food whats the problem?'
Eh Q5 food wouldn't offset this loss btw 😛

Please Vote article (Germany never makes it international)
Didn't the ADSP produce a maximum acceptable wage rate that was to be permittable. Someone should find that table and publish how far out these people are. Maybe they should lead by example & place bans against themselves.
Are you kidding me BlackAdder? The GTC's are for low skilled workers (although we do have 1 or 2 higher-skilled workers on a *lower* than usual wage, who volunteered to help with supplying Medicare gifts), meaning they will never be at that company long, since we wont offer them higher wages and they'll eventually be lured into the private sector who offer higher wages.
The GTC's will ALWAYS have market offers on the market... why? What if our population grows by 50 in a day, yet there's only 20 0 skill job offers? 30 will go without a job, in that 1st crucial log in. Odds are they'll think, what's the point of this and never log in again.
The GTC's will most of the time have more than ideal numbers, and the MoI regularly fires inactive workers. In fact, I see about 10 or so less workers since this article was written (of course that will jump up again as new citizens register).
Also... everyone knows until a citizen gets to 2 skill, they're a burden to companies. GTC's act as a buffer, sort the 1-time only players from the committed ones, and then feeds the private sector.
Furthermore, I'm really surprised to have to explain this, and even more surprised 24 people actually believed the content of this article to be valid and voted for it.
When government competes with privet industry , they always losses . Government should stick to doing the things that privet industry can not .

The point of this article was to point out the hypocrisy in some of your policies, not to condemn GTCs. When the private sector is not offering enough jobs they are necessary.
However they should act as baseline employment and not offer higher wages than new private companys can afford, so that most new workers go straight into the private sector and the leftovers go into GTCs.
I see that GTC's are no longer offering the highest wage for 0 skill workers and am glad to see that.
"Also... everyone knows until a citizen gets to 2 skill, they're a burden to companies."
Actually Cottus, when a citizen gets to 1 skill they make a small profit for most Q1 companys, for new companys struggling to get workers thats hardly a burden, and they will continue to gain skill making more money for the company, assuming they are loyal
Well yeah, new players can't work for a Q5 Company. I mean, technically they can, but they're going to work themselves to death. They need to have a House and eat Q5 Food to keep up with that Wellness loss. Is the government going to give them that? Certainly not. It wouldn't be cost effective by a long shot. So let's build us a Q5 Hospital, not a Bridge Over the River Quie.
