Put yourself in the following position:
You start a new job where the wages are productivity related. You have known this since the interview.
After less than 3 weeks in the job you question how realistic the productivity targets are, you boss reassures you that the targets are perfectly achievable but says that you have to be realistic as you have only just started the job and can't expect to meet targets yet but he will arrange extra training for you, if you want, to help you get up to speed.
You now have 4 realistic ways to react. Do you:-
a) Accept the offer of help and accept that you still have things to learn about the job so that you can increase your productivity and thus reach targets?
b) Refuse the help, accepting that you need more time to increase your productivity by your own efforts, accepting that it may take time?
c) Not bother to put the effort in to reach productivity targets and as such accept a lower rate of pay?
d) Argue with your employer saying that the targets are impossible to achieve, ignoring the fact that the company has over 40 years industry experience and the fact that the employer can point to people who actually exceed these productivity targets. The result being you must either accept the targets as they are or leave the job?
Answers on a postcard, the correct answers will not be entered into a draw and no winner will be chosen to win any sort of prize.
