I hope they give them retail pay for that 8 hour shift as well. Of course they wouldn't let a retail worker take an 8 hour shift in the offices, but that would be a little interesting. Either way, more companies should do this type of thing.
That would just be a rounding error to them that they probably wouldn't notice. People at that level generally don't pay attention to individual paychecks.
But it would completely fuck over the middle class careers. The store’s it guy probably is doing better than the retail folks, but not “$100 less for a pay period isn’t something they notice” better.
