I see people calling out Bezos for paying employees market rate for the job rather than diverting profits to pay above market. Often overlooked downside of paying above market is you get people sticking around who don’t want to be there, which leads to all sorts of problems.

I heard above market pay is to attract the best.
Maybe the best cost the same. Bu how to make sure those who stick around are the best?
Is this differentiation relevant at the warehouse staff level?
I’m confused

Yeah we know what happened to Ford with that belt of theirs. Keep making up excuses to prevent society from developing.👍🏼

That's a pretty lame narrative honestly. It's sad that company big wigs will make up scenarios to convince themselves why they shouldn't pay a fair wage.

One would argue a “fair wage” is the wage which employee and employer agree on. The imposition of public political narratives on otherwise private contracts is the bigger issue in my opinion.
