Hi Siby,
I can relate to your argument to some extent, but then I consider this very unfair.
Not on an average basis but on a day-to-day and file by file basis the MT is supposed to deliver 99.9% accuracy on a salary basis for years without showing anything for it? I would readily agree with you if there was some increment on a yearly basis in keeping up with the inflation and more importantly, being appreciated for your work.
What about the soaring overhead costs and the cost of living?
As I have remarked in my previous posts, the dollar has gone up considerably meaning more moolah to the MT employers. Why is this not taken into consideration when arguing against giving that bit extra to the hardworking MTs without whom the company would close up? Don't tell me the poor employers are still paid what they were receiving a few years ago and that the dollar rate is still what it was years ago.
No matter what the argument, there is a quantum leap in income for employers while employees are still stagnating.
Now I can relate to the fact that there are two sides to a coin and good MTs are hard to come by. I also agree that all MTs are not necessary up to the mark since I have seen this myself too. There are too many whiners and gripers who only ask first how much they can earn and then talk about the work. Everyone wants to become billionaires yesterday without slogging.
But then perhaps proper incentives would make better potential MTs to give that extra effort plus make working conditions without partiality, selective allotment of work or whatever causing resentment among employees?
Someone once told me,"If an employer showed more appreciation by merely patting an employee on the shoulder" that employee would put in more effort with the knowledge that his/hard work is being appreciated and noticed rather than getting an increase in payroll. Pure psychology but it works, instead of being identified as a mere number or a mechanical robot to be discarded at will.
Just a thought and so on and so forth....
