All the great apocrypha of the [[HR]] canon are lined up to ensure that, through time, an employee’s [[compensation|pay]] will decouple from, and then trail, the value she offers her firm.<ref>As we have [[Cost-value threshold|remarked elsewhere]], it is more or less axiomatic that all employees contribute ''some'' positive value to their organisation: you would have to be pathologically antisocial not to. The exception that proves this rule is the unnamed [https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/15-years-skipping-work/ Italian hospital worker who bunked off for fifteen years].</ref> | |||
