Donkey for Big Tasks – Commentary

At the same time, those whose wages are determined by these peoples often have to have very low wages. This is because, you guessed it: “The international wage level.”

For example, the administration of the national symbol Hurtigruten ends up with millions in wages, while its own employees earn just 29 crowns an hour to work 70 hours a week. Understand who can.

Another paradox is the cash bonuses. It’s well established with research that performance bonuses don’t work for complex jobs. They can be useful in motivating vacuum cleaner salespeople or similar professions, where both the result and who produced the result are easy to measure. No sales, no salary. But in complex professions, you need to be confident that whoever is prepared to do the job follows best practices and performs to the best of their ability.

Offering the Minister of Health a personal cash bonus if Norway experiences fewer deaths per crown would be a joke to both him and the office. Give teachers a bonus if students also become well-functioning adults. In such advanced jobs, a sure fixed salary works best. It means that the employee does not have to think about money and can focus on tasks.

However, we have received huge bonuses in the public sector: the Norwegian Postmaster did not manage a salary of more than 5 million crowns last year. He also received 289,000 kronor in bonus. Why did you get it? To make sure the mail gets through? Wasn’t that what you got five million for?

The head of NSB / VY also failed with his fixed salary of around four million crowns last year. In addition, he obtained a bonus of 1,259,000 crowns. Why ?, you might ask. To make the trains go? Isn’t that the job then? The job you have four million to do?

It doesn’t stop there. The manager of something called Baneservice, which builds and maintains our railway, did not think that 2,355,000 NOK in fixed salary was enough last year. In addition, he received 900,000 kronor in bonus. For what? To do your job, of course. The one who had already received 2,355,000 crowns to be done.

It must end with the managers of the public sector and public companies who refrain from responding to the absurdly good conditions they have achieved, pointing out that “the board determines my conditions. Being a top manager is first of all taking responsibility. So take responsibility.

Take responsibility for explaining to us why you earn six times more than the person sitting in the office on the floor below you or the person standing in the rain doing the job you are claiming the bonus for. Take responsibility for telling us why we can’t expect you to do your best if we don’t lure you in with a cash bonus on top of a sky-high fixed salary.

Take responsibility, senior manager in a public company, and explain to us why it is not embarrassing and embarrassing to you that we have to put a carrot in front of your nose like just another donkey, so that you will strive for what is good. Take responsibility, dear senior manager of a public company. That is what a leader does.

There must be an end to public sector managers and public companies who refrain from answering for the absurdly good conditions they have achieved.
