But they only do the work that is equal to one person. Because they are conjoined they aren't the equivalent of 2 teachers, but rather one. Jeez, your ability to read is lower than my chance of getting a girlfriend
They're two people. And they're doing the work, of two people, because, they're both there doing the work.
Imagine you and your work mate, you have two salaries.
If I put a jumper on you, so you can't move away from each other.
And I glue it on real good so you're stuck like that.
Is it ok to half your pay? Or maybe, fire you! That's be fine, right? That's so good, that's so good until you realise that's real. And that is bad for you. And now you can't pay your bills and your lifestyle is fucked and it's not your fault you didn't ask for the jumper it's just how it is....
Welcome to the bane of the disability, where the loser of the predatory assholery, is now YOU.
Then you'd care.
So I suggest, we employ empathy. And we decide that actually, they are two people. And they're both working. Which is backed up, by being true.
They aren’t doing two jobs. I don’t understand why you can’t see this. They get to split a TON of the work of teaching up. One can grade while the other plans. One can email parents while the other inputs data. They are NOT doing two jobs. They’re two people who can divide up the work between them. That absolutely not doing the work of two teachers who each has their own class.
They can efficiently finish the same amount of work in much less time than the other teachers they work with because there are two of them. They aren’t each doing the full job. Stop saying they’re doing the work of two people, because they literally are not. If they were they would have twice the students, twice the grading etc.
This person thinks that if you're working, then you're performing a job and should get paid. Like, if you spend all day busting your ass running headfirst into a brick wall, then clearly you're doing work and should be offered good pay, insurance, and a 401k. By whom? Fairies, presumably.
Edit to respond to blocked comment: Yes, that's what I said. You think pay should be based on how long or how hard someone works rather than how much anyone else wants to pay for that work.
They also seem to think that money comes from the sky and that the school can just decide to pay double for one classroom than all the others. The class only has a budget for one teacher because it only needs one. There are few jobs that can just choose to pay an extra $60-100k than they budgeted for.
If they were surgeons, do they think people will pay double for all their surgeries? That isn’t doing two jobs either.
If they decided to be house cleaners, would I need to pay twice as much for the job? Of course not. I’m paying x dollars for the house to get cleaned no matter how many people show up. They would just have the benefit of getting the job done quicker, much like teaching.
