  • In amongst all this you don’t have to forget how human nature affects things when people are on piecework 


    Some guys If paid more do less work.


    Back in the 80’s and I guess now as well some guys I worked with, particularly plumbers, set a target of how much they wanted to earn then went home. Some of the plumbers aimed to start on  Monday morning and finish Thursday lunchtime having hit their target earnings.


    Do whilst looking at the total amount some people have earns you need to consider that other people may have much better lifestyles, you also need to remember that as they are working less hours they are not so physically and mentally stressed resulting in them earning more per hour than those who actually go home with more money in their pay packet.
