For instance, in Mexico it is very common to hire a person, only for verifying that the workers are doing what they are supposed to do, the so often called supervisors. This implies another salary to pay and what is worse, the impossibility of reaching a high prosperity that will enable both employers and employees find this extraordinary efficient state.

First of all because they think they will lose their jobs, blaming an increase in the output. Ladies and gentlemen, this is such a great myth that forms part of an educational an informative problem. Historical data proves that nothing is further from truth, and that any improvement made to machines or methods make in the end more jobs. Taylor gives the shoe industry example, and it is basically the same in every other industry. With all the improvements of technology the product gets cheaper, causing an increase in the demand and more people wants to acquire the products. In order to keep with the demand, more workers will be needed. We could go deeply in this particular subject only to find that ignorance causes much more disadvantages than any other thing.
             Secondly we have soldiering, natural and systematic. The natural soldiering refers to the basic and universal take it easy; that is almost an instinct for humans whenever is possible. We have also the systematic soldiering, which takes place when we gather a group of workers. These people suffer a contagious phenomenon when they think, as Taylor would point it, "Why should I work hard when that lazy fellow gets the same pay I do and does only half as much work?"
