Bad at maths

Today, my boss finally worked out that by not giving the lads a pay rise to £18 an hour, instead just offering them overtime when necessary, it actually cost the equivalent of raising each employees salary to £26 an hour, for a whole year. He’s is blaming me because I issue the pay checks. FML
I agree, your life sucks 1 026
You deserved it 83

Same thing different taste

Screw you all for using child labor and being sexist at it, too! Only lads, no lassies? Let the boys have a childhood, Scrooge!

If his offering overtime because its necessary, doesn't that mean that the lads have worked the necessary hours (e.g. 8hrs) but more work still needs to be done. If that is the case, then wont it be that if the lads pay is increased to 26 an hour, then still the lads will work 8hrs, however, because there is still more work to be done (since the overtime is out of necessity), then your overtime hours are still going to be the same, however, you are now paying 26 for the normal time worked plus 1 and half times of 26 (as opposed to 18). In my view, increasing the lads pay will actually be catastrophic, unless my math's is bad
