Tryna understand the LTV. I get that only labor creates value, but how do you figure the indirect labor of managing the workers? Whether it’s managed by the state directly or private citizens or elected ppl or whatever, you still need people to manage the people directly adding value, right? so how do you know how much value those people add? Maybe this is an incoherent question, idk. Linking me a thing to read is fine but i’m not gonna read more than ~15 pages b/c i think it’s a fairly simple question.
To give some examples... managers COULD do the following that would help to create value...
Make sure that all workers take breaks, eat, drink water, use bathroom.
Ensure all needed materials for the workers are available before they are needed.
Assist workers who need to take leave for personal reasons, medicals reasons, family reasons, etc. In the sense that there may need to be paperwork filled out for some reason. Also, being responsible for either 1) finding temp replacement worker or 2) alerting the rest of the workers to the change in labor available and discussing how to change the day's work flow to adjust.
Be second tier trouble shooting when there is a problem that will affect work flow. When unable to successfully troubleshoot issue, follow established procedures in finding higher level troubleshooting or scheduling maintenance techs to begin repairs. Making adjustments to work flow or declaring a full work stoppage depending on issue.
Coordinating training and recertifications if any are needed.
Assist clearing up disputes between employees, hopefully in a neutral arbiter role.
