Okay, then why pay people an hourly wage at all? Let's just pay everyone on how much they are able to accomplish. The harder you work, the more you get paid.
Because not all jobs are the same. People have different needs, different types of jobs offer options.
Stay at home partner, working from home, with multiple kids & schedules might enjoy an hourly wage position or a performance based position to account for at home needs.
Same may be true for someone reentering the workforce after incarceration… building usb cables at home, while studying for a certification, worked extremely well for a family member. Made a little money on the side AND had time to study.
Personally, I work from home writing technical manuals. I get paid hourly, rather than by document, because that’s my preference. I use my left over paid time learning this company’s platform so I can take on a bigger role.
That said, my coworkers are all performance based employees. They get paid based on the metric of production rather than time. Same job, same company, same department… different priorities.
Oh, you mean you get a preference? Unlike disabled people who can only get hired by companies like Goodwill?
Also, all of this vociferous defense of Goodwill paying disabled people less than minimum wage seems to ignore the fact that a whole bunch of disabled people are saying that they're being underpaid by Goodwill and I'm not sure why you're not taking that into account.
