    Congrats. You are probably better off than most. Did your pay rises exceed the inflation rate?

    But to get back to productivity more broadly rather than one company and one employee at that company:

    Productivity has grown, so why have wages not kept up?

    "So, who is getting the benefits of productivity growth? You guessed it. Instead of flowing to workers as higher wages, business is capturing the gains from productivity growth as profit."

    It's funny how neighbours that doorknock you or leave you a note about their upcoming event are never a problem.

    But the douchebags at number 5 who like revving their bikes/trucks and must have doof-doof wherever they go live in a world surrounded by people pissed off at them. Must be nice.

    Well, when there are productivity gains, there's no pay rises and the bulk goes to the corporation profits.

    So, where is the incentive to be more productive?

    First of a two part investigation.

    I'm expecting major shenanigans to be uncovered.

    Airing tonight on our ABC at 8:30pm eastern, and will be available via iView after.

    Do yourself a favour, and catch Media Watch after it. You'll find out what media BS you've been caught out believing!

     

    idk, I kinda expected a bot to be machine like, regular, predictable and couldn't be stopped and would go on forever.

    You know, like the Terminator.

    But sydbot hasn't posted anything for 2 months.

    Not sure it matters, but I'd like to know that sydbot is safe and happy.
