This is a question Tightwads

There's saving money, and there's being tight: saving money at the expense of other people, or simply for the miserly hell of it.

Tell us about measures that go beyond simple belt tightening into the realms of Mr Scrooge.

Britain has a very good minimum wage (I think it works out to the highest in the world, in dollar terms), and I believe it applies equally to waiting staff as it does everyone else.

When one of our users at work contacts us, they expect good service from the helpdesk agents, the second line, the engineers, the managers, because their company pays our company. That's our incentive to work hard, because if we don't, our bosses lose the contract and we lose our jobs.

I don't see why I need a bribe to do my job well, and I don't see why anyone else in any other business needs one. There is already a major incentive to do your job properly; the desire to keep it.
