I feel that people will misunderstood me here, but I wanted to ask this question.
Why did no company employ basically 70%-90% trainees, people with disabilities and desperate people and outsource the work that cannot be finished cheaply?
Is there is a company like that, but I just don’t know it?
You’re just describing capitalism.
There are places that do. Animal farms is one kind of place.
There is a cafe called Brownies and Downies that hire disabled people.
When companies try to use the cheapest possible labor, it usually results in a decrease in productivity and quality, which causes them to lose business to competitors in a healthy, competitive market.
If a company can find cheaper labor that performs just as well, they’ll do so and outperform the competition. If they can find a way to distort a market so competitive pressure has less impact, then they’ll do that absent a sufficient threat of punishment.
You see this cycle a lot in IT with off shoring.
“We can hire 10 Indians for the price of one of you,” is something I’ve had a CIO tell me. He didn’t appreciate my coworker saying, “No you can’t. If you could, you already would.”
I had someone tell me in almost the same breath that I had written the cleanest code he had ever seen, and that he could hire someone with a PhD from India for a fraction of my rate. I told him to do it if he thought that would get him better results. He didn’t.
Goodwill is known to heavily take advantage of the US law allowing sub minimum wage pay to disabled workers
Most fast food places and even a lot of chain casual dining restaurants subsist on 70%+ of staff being trainees due to a massive amount of turnover. Amazon and other large companies that have poor working conditions and low pay are taking advantage of desperate people to pay peanut wages.
This is actually a very common business practice wherever the onboarding process is fairly quick for the majority of the job’s responsibilities or they are shared skills across jobs like construction and farming.
Nothing is stopping them and companies already do try to employ the most desperate and disabled workers that can still do the job because they’re easier to underpay and manipulate
