Exactly, to make a profit.

Do you honestly think that any business is in business to provide employment and look after employee welfare as it number one priority. The number one objective of each and every business is to make a profit and to maximise on those profits. Plain and simple.

But do you notice that the employers like say Google who look after their employees are the ones that keep going from strength to strength.

All electricians should be on the same rates of pay across the board.

Really? Even where you might be an excellent electrician, and you colleague next to you is rubbish? Would someone with 10 years experience expect to earn the same as a person with no experience? That's not very common at all.

Wats the pt doing an apprenticeship when u can earn more doing general operative work with no experience needed

To use the accounting analogy again, what's the point of spending 3 or 4 years in college before embarking on another 3-4 years of painstaking exams if you can earn more doing general operative work with no experience needed!? The market dictates how valuable your skills are, and pays you the resulting wage.

They provide free food, comfortable surroundings etc. on the understanding that you hit your targets. You can play pool for a couple of hours and be in until 11pm every night of the week if that's what it takes to get your job done. If you don't, you're gone.

They also have huge staff turnover, way higher than most other companies.

You won't ever see a strike in Google!

Of course they do, that's why very little people work on minimum wage.

Yes exactly and when you purchase anything, whether it's a loaf bread or a new mobile phone you want the best cheapest price as possible.
