Does This Old Saying Have Any Truth To It? "You Pay Peanuts, You Get Monkeys"

What do you guys think... Does cheap pay attract the worst kind of employees?

Your thoughts?

DH

P.S. I pay my people in beer nuts so don't give me any shit ;)

I never heard the peanut monkey saying.
I usually hear you get what you pay for.

Like most things in life the answer is yes... and no... low pay typically gets you low skilled employees... but.. an energetic go getter can make up for that.. but then they move on to the higher pay once they gain the skills..

In porn....

I pay well and I get monkeys.
I pay penuts and I get monkeys.

In this industry it is a 50/50 chance that regardless of what you do you get monkeys.

This industry? It's everything. The majority of humans are idiots so the majority of your employees will be too.

I would say it really depends on where you live and the stuff that your employees are already familiar with. Here I know I could hire some cheap college kids part time to push out galleries, se pages and stuff like that. But I'm not about to do that in a town of 5k people just because I don't need alot of public people here looking down on me for the type of work I do.

I think your problem is down to management.

Yes you pay peanuts you get monkeys. You get those who do not know better, do not want more and lack the skills or drive to get better.

You can hire untrained and train them yourselves, but if you do not keep up with market rates you will lose them.

Depends on alot of factors but overall probaly not because people value money differently. Employers are responsible for hiring the monkey.

Buddy,

You are obviously not a pornographer. Train them???? That is a good one.

How is this.....
I hire 18 year old girls that have very little experience fucking anyone. And the moment she does have experience, the consumer is sick of seeing her and her rates go down.

Experience in porn is a inverse pyramid. The more you have, the less you are worth.

he's talking the webmaster side of things, employees as opposed to models.
