One day, so the story goes, a Bahamian painter came to Mr Murphy and complained that his American counterpart’s salary was higher than his. Not one for argument, Mr Murphy told the Bahamian that he would divide one wall of the hotel in half — one half to be painted by the Bahamian, the other by the American. If the Bahamian could keep up with the American and do as good a job, he would be immediately put on the same salary as the American.
#They both started — same paint brush, same paint, same type ladder — the contest was on.
#By noon the Bahamian gave up. He went to Mr Murphy: “Boss,” he said, “I give up, yer right, I’s only a four shilling a day man.
I believe that Sandals just wants their employees to be good, productive employees, regardless of where they came from. Just because they are local, that doesn't justify paying a wage for no performance.
