Tactical Inefficiency
Having inefficient employees can sometimes be a profitable circumstance. The
construction industry and the service industry are rife with incompetent or
under skilled employees being sent out on jobs represented as fully qualified
journeymen. When a job is being billed out as "Time & Materials" the
homeowner must pay the service provider for all time on the job. This means
that if the service provider or tradesman must frequently go to the supply
store for parts the homeowner pays for their lack of planning and stocking
materials. If the tradesman is inexperienced the homeowner again pays for tradesman's
learning on the job. So, an unscrupulous company can churn up more billable
hours using marginally qualified personal than it can with fully trained personnel.
