I realize it wouldn't be reported upon nor discussed with such vehemence here at MR and elsewhere were that the entire truth of the case. The only entity anyone cares about, here, is Amazon. The Giant Great Evil of all Time and Space, Amazon. ;-) Honestly, around here, you'd think we were discussing The Master in some Whovian drama.

That's exactly how I work--I get paid by the project. If I get it done faster, then I can start another project sooner and make more money. Why would anyone work to the best of their abilities if they knew that Susie slacker at the next desk was making the same amount as them?

Same for me, really, even if it's more pieces than I can personally do. It's how we survive...a book at a time. I wish it were otherwise, with some invisible sugar daddy in the sky taking care of me for all those hours I'd love to "not-work," but it isn't. At least an author can hope/pray for royalties, down the road, in a pseudo-passive-income sort of way. THAT might be a lovely thing, but...for all intents and purposes, company or not, I'm a piece-worker. I don't have an issue with it.
