Haha, A) Performance pay is more predictable? That's a good one! Nothing about performance pay is predictable.

D) Market conditions are always changing. True, but that's not a reason to prefer base pay. Performance pay can actually help you keep up with those changes.

I recall a practice question where we talked about how base pay provides a consistent income, so I’m leaning towards C as well.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like we discussed how performance pay can create uncertainty, which might make C a strong option.
TE
Terry

I think I remember that employees often prefer stability in their income, so maybe C is the right choice?
RE
Rene

I'm pretty confident that the answer is C. Employees want to know exactly what they'll be earning, not have it depend on variable factors.

C) They dislike uncertainty about their compensation. That's my best guess - base pay provides more financial security.
MA
Maynard

Okay, I've got this. The key is understanding that employees prefer base pay because it's more stable and predictable than performance-based pay.
HE
Hermila

B) Base pay is directly related to their performance level. That's not true at all! Base pay is usually based on the job, not individual performance.
MA
Marti

BE
Bernardo
