Of course, these relationships are purely consensual. There’s nothing immoral in hiring a worker on a wage or taking a job.

I agree that the wording is imprecise, especially with the political history involved in mislabeling employment as exploitation. I actually edited a version of this post to remove that sentence and replace it with something clearer, but I screwed up and sent an earlier draft to J.D. without first checking.

Don’t you think it’s a little silly for people to be paid for attendance rather than compensated based on production, as most contractors are? Hourly and annual wages create such perverse incentives in the majority of cases.

Even with commissions and bonuses, time-based wages reward a reversion to mediocrity and generate collectivism in the workplace. It punishes efficiency and innovation.

I’m an arch-capitalist, so it certainly wasn’t my intention to posit that cash-for-labor is improper. .-= JC Hewitt´s last blog ..Change Yourself First =-.
