Dude, it's 2017! There are entire fields of business study dedicated to the management and motivation of people. Of course companies can measure the value of their employee's work.
Right, how much is a smiling memeber of staff worth compared to one who doesn't smile? I want an actual cash value here.
You keep saying this, and it seems more and more like you're trying to convince yourself, rather than us.

If someone is truly a detriment to an employer, then it's because of conscious decisions that they made to be a fuck-up on purpose.
Possibly. In the case of literally doing a shit job, sure. In the case of failing to greet customers with a warm smile, well that isn't conscious. You're assuming "doing a shit job" is a matter of poor tequnique. I'm assuming it has a wider meaning than that.
How many people are at work right now but would rather be doing something else? Employing 'someone who doesn't want the job' is a simple reality.
Lots, and to different degrees. It's not binary, it's not a one or zero. My friend doesn't want to work, he likes his weekends a lot. But he enjoys his work, because it provides him with a house, a car, a happy wife, a comfortable existence free of financial stress. That, to him, is worth more than his weekends. So while he might "want" the day off, he also "wants" the things that work provides him, and this "want" is greater.
The incentive to work exists. But you can never incentivise everyone. Why should those who are not incentivised go ahead and do it?
Your wages don't count in the cost either. You're getting paid one way or the other. Now explain to me why it's cheaper to pay you to stay home rather than have you do something productive.
Because if the employer paid someone else the same wage to do the same job, the other person will very likely do a better job than I will. At the very least, they would be more likely to hold down the job.
lol no wonder you have such a problem with benefits, if you think this is how much money people get.
It's around £500 a month, so $625 a month. Now, considering my friend earns his company an average of £750 a day, and is paid around £100 a day, I can see how productivity is potentially worth a lot more than the pittance I survive on.
