Question: How to Calculate Just Pay for Work (midwest.social)

submitted 4 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

How would one actually calculate the full "fruit of labor" in work that includes several people doing different tasks?

How to calculate between people doing the same task producing physical items seems easy. Add in customer service, sales, and development, and it seems easier to focus on what other groups pay for those skills, which is not what I want.

It also seems looking at the difference between having the role, and not. However some skills are mandatory, just less involved.

Feel free to simplify, but different tasks is a must.

This is such a non-argument. Of course a business needs to take care of its expenses to survive, and then some. The question is how to appropriately distribute the budget for worker's pay.

No CEO can work 300x as hard as the other workers.

No, but they might be able to produce 300x the value.

I doubt that.
