New Subminimum Wage To Be Implemented To Boost Economy

With the news of companies closing their doors and others struggling to stay open across the country, several states have planned to implement a new “subminimum wage” strategy to help corporations get back on their feet.

Inspired by the hospitality sector and eager to get ahead of the government green light, companies are already encouraging applicants by offering them 40% of the current minimum wage and complementing this with tips for exemplary work ethic. According to several interviewed executives, this will not only encourage the workers to perform at their very highest level, but will also provide a “welcome relief” to management who won’t have to worry about closing down or mass layoffs in the foreseeable future.

Government economist Stanford Ashworth complimented the idea, saying it “proves that our nation’s leadership is not short on ways of saving the economy”, and commenting how this reflects the behaviour of other countries with fast-growing economies and large populations such as Bangladesh and Egypt. “With this kind of innovation in mind”, he says, “soon we will outpace any level previously thought possible and become the richest country on Earth”. Clearly, very high goals, and the confidence to match.

With the tips motivation in place, it will be up to the workers to find the best way to achieve these. For many jobs such as sales, waitressing and other public-facing roles, this should come as no challenge, but workers in many careers may find themselves in a new situation where they’ll discover a previously unknown aspect of their daily working lives. We interviewed Sarah Brown, an engineer who used to cost her company over $150,000 per year and had her salary updated to 40% of the minimum wage following the expectation of implementation of the new policy. Please note we have edited the following paragraph for public suitability: How […] am I supposed to make […] tips when I’m building an engine? I don’t […] talk to […] [people], do I? I put the […] parts together and […] [go] home. Who […] am I supposed to ask for […] tips? My […] screwdriver?”

It’s clear that many industry professionals will need to improvise and adapt to these latest changes, and although some people may struggle at first with the new policies, executives are sure that their workers will soon find that capitalism breeds innovation. New business strategies ready to turn the wheel on its head? That’s a yes from me!
