When did we decide that someone who spends all their day doing hard physical labour will get paid wayyy less than

Someone who supervises them.....
Salaries will never be proportional to how much we work.... When did we let this happen???

Supervision is a professional skill. A good supervisor is worth their pay. An incorrectly paid supervisor is never a lasting employee. Too much pay, the boss will realize the incompetence and replace him. Too little and the supervisor will seek a better check somewhere else.

Supervisory roles vary, and some are high demands and stress. Planning and execution of the daily workflow and designation of labor with the ability for contingency restructuring through the days shift overlaps.

@SteelHands But what about the janitor who works hard all day? You don't think physical labour deserves good pay?
SteelHands · 61-69, M
@assemblingaknob You tell me. How much more does the firm profit through the work that the janitor does?

Since pay rate is for skilled labor and management, based on the revenue an employee generates, and other essential facilities support is mostly based on whatever the company can afford.

@Fertilization horizontal pay scales are also possible in capitalism.

@assemblingaknob Oh yes, but dear you will hardly witness a filer nowadays.

The companies know nobody really wants to do these jobs, and they don't require years of expensive education, so they know that those who sign up for them are doing it out of necessity/desperation (in order to not go homeless). So the companies can pay them dirt because they know the workers don't have much choice.
@assemblingaknob Often, unfortunately.

@bijouxbroussard I just saw the sweeper work his ass off today....and he can barely get by. This isn't fair.
@assemblingaknob I agree, it [b]isn’t[/b] fair.

Since around 1790 it's the same.

It's always been that way. How many real jobs have you had ?
MURD3RM0NK3Y · 26-30, M
@assemblingaknob Every job I've had it's always been that way. The supervisor who sits in his office all day gets paid more than the one who is actually out there busting their ass. That's old.news.
