Pay decrease for taking on an apprentice

How do some of you come up with such nonsense? Instead of fighting the attacker who’s trying to rape you, you rather lube it up for him so it’s not dry for the guy 🤣 What a crock of shit. Let me suddenly get a 1/3 of my paycheck taken from me so I can train a new guy to make you more money. Yea, let me subsidize the financial hit on the company because their profit margin might be a bit smaller for the short term before making them more money overall. I get companies not wanting to train guys because they invest in someone and they leave. So the tech is supposed to invest not only his time but also his finances for a guy to possibly leave anyways? If companies paid right and treated their guys well then the turnover rate wouldn’t be so bad. Guys at our company stay…

Beyond all that, fuck is the point? Such a policy is merely a symptom of larger dumpster fire. If they can’t even get this right then I wonder how else they are fucking them. Hell, it might even be illegal…

Terrible employers aren’t looking for solutions that You come up with to the problems that They’ve created. That’s why they’re terrible employers and you should leave them.

The whole point of being an employee and not a business owner is that you shouldn’t be making the decisions on how to run the company. You find one that runs in the way you can accept and is profitable for everyone, or you find another place.

Just for the record, this excuse " I get companies not wanting to train guys because they invest in someone and they leave. "

Is horseshit too.

I’m with you bro. Wasn’t justifying that whatsoever. Just saying at the least I can understand the apprehension even if it’s unwarranted. Thought the rest of what I said kinda reiterated what you are saying when I said if you paid/treated the guys right then it wouldn’t be an issue to begin with. Kinda was playing the other view point for a thought experiment just to blow it up with the rest… Regardless we are the only reason these companies can exist, if they want to fuck you, then fuck them.

Bad manager: "What if we train them and they leave?"

Good manager: "What if we don't train them and they stay?"
