Dynamic Waging
by Ross Wilson

Essential workers are retiring early
due to dynamic waging
when wages increase on the demand 
put upon key workers during busy shifts. 

So Morag, a thirty-three-year-auld 
Healthcare Support Worker last year 
is now a thirty-four-year-auld millionaire 
retired to a villa in Andalucía.

‘Ivrytime a patient buzzed 
or a nurse asked, ye busy? 
the k-ching o’ a till 
rang like a bell in ma heid.’
