Why do we get paid by the hour? It's like you're just selling your time. Can't we just go back to paying for the job itself? You want to get the job done and over with so you're not going to slack off. It will give you a goal to work towards and that will distract you from the tedium. You're not getting paid to do a lousy job so you would be more likely to do it well. When did it become a bad idea to incentivize productivity and quality of work?

Easier to keep track of an hourly rate than by the job.
>american houses
>wooden houses
and when a hurricane hits em, they all be wondering why is the town so destroyed
this is how a real house should look
idiots
Because it's hard to quantify quality.
Meanwhile, hourly pay is easy to do the numbers on.

jobs that pay by the hour do exactly that, i dont see a problem
do you even have houses in romania?
You have no taste
Except for the fact that we speak an entirely different language (unlike you and Canada - apart from Quebec but they don't count)
Except for the fact that we have completely different legal systems (unlike Canada and the US, which both use common law, which is only found in British ex-colonies)
Except for the fact that France has been culturally different to us for HUNDREDS OF YEARS. Meanwhile, the US and Canada were each founded only a couple of hundred years ago, both as British colonies. You have a hell of a lot in common. Your accent is incredibly similar, you play the same sports - hell you even play in the same leagues as each other.
If you wanted VALID comparisons to the US/Canada relationship, then Australia/New Zealand would be the closest. Otherwise I'm sure there are some South American countries that might be comparable (Colombia/Venezuela maybe?) but I don't know enough about them really.
>Can't we just go back to paying for the job itself?
It's called commission. And most people who work by the job get paid a percentage of the profit, whether it's a plumber or a salesman. Hourly wagecucks get paid by the hour because their jobs are a never ending monotony of repetitive tasks. "The job" is never over.
>that multi-ethnic picture
That's a poorly designed home. It's literally a box with a roof.
Of course they do.
I don't think you could ever give one payment style that works best for every job. For example a fast food grill man wouldn't be best managed by a goal or quota based payment because then as soon as he finishes making X amount of burgers he's done for the day leaving you without a cook until the next shift comes in, all because lunch was busier than you thought it would be. Though that might be fairer for the workers efforts that would be unmanageable for the employer. Also lets say we are hired to build a house and we begin working and for whatever reason the process takes much more work than anyone could have reasonably predicted then we are working for essentially a much lower wage than we had initially agreed to given our prior knowledge. Now of course the opposite may happen with an hourly wage where we decide we want more money and work at a snails pace, but my overall point is that its not that simple as finding the perfect method. The only thing that can be done is to let employers and employees find what works best for them and make their choices accordingly
most building in Florida are built to withstand hurricanes, retard.
That's called a fucking contract. Jesus Christ are europoors so deep into socialism that they have never negotiated work with superiors or potential clients?

good film
The best part is that it's common for people in Eastern Europe to make a house without a facade and leave it like that for years or even decades
Pic related is a common sight in the Balkans
the thing is piece rate wages are illegal in the US in most fields. everything except fruit picking I bealive
]because it is super easy to abuse, contract work is basically like that, but by an employer leaves too many loop holes.
Also salary is /soppsed/ to be like that. you are being paid to do a job, if you can finsih the job in 3 days a week, you should be allowed to only work 3 days a week, but of course middle managers need to have open ended requirements so they can keep giving you more work, which is why the 40 hour work week is dead,
Hey RETARD. The contractor calculates how much material he needs, how many people he needs and how much he will have to pay people. Most working class people cannot wait a year to get a paycheck
Hi, ladies. I'm an upholster by trade. I get paid per piece. Pre9/11 I made anywhere between 20-30 dollars an hour if you divided hours worked by pay. Thanks to nafta and illegal aliens, I make roughly half that now. Just depends on my schedule. Fortunately for me, people pay well to have their furniture repaired or recovered, since most are ignorant on the matter. I make more on the side than I do on my actual job. Kinda sucks, but at least Uncle Sam doesn't take as much as he used to.
>the thing is piece rate wages are illegal in the US in most fields.
Since when? About 20 years ago I worked in a shop that made dumpsters and shelving that paid welders and painters piece rate. If you were good you could do well, if you were shit you'd be better off hourly.
Of course commission sales is the best for earning what you're worth.
