Ideally you would figure out the exact cost or price of things. Putting a widget in a box should cost x. Perhaps a an enlightening hypothetical would be to charge you for your hamburger based on the number of years the employee worked there. Everyone would be like:
But last time I paid half that? Also, why did it take so long? If there is actual experience one should bother to measure it as well as productivity. Those who do gain experience are probably missing out if it is measured in years.
I guess one has to see enough really hard working highly educated intelligent young people in a place that also houses slacking geezers who managed to learn nothing over decades. They are basically sitting there waiting for others to earn their living. If it is a national thing you wont have the endless flow of new hires who cant wait to get the f out of there.
