      If workers like their job and feel appreciated, they work harder. The job also likely attracts better people.

      They might be able to hire less people as a result

      I did night fill at a supermarket here in Australia once. And there are so many useless people working at them. There was never any incentive to work beyond the minimum standard

      Here in Australia at least, supermarkets are making record profits, so it would simply be less money for shareholders

        I’m not talking about the pay rate, I’m talking about rapidly expanding into a market and hiring thousands of people.

        This is exactly what companies like Google and Amazon due to keep a continuous cycle of growth and layoffs going for optics on share value.
