Interesting business glitch.
Sagana:
I've got a hack that gives college scholarships for the talent badges. One of jfade's here:

I was kinda shocked how much my business sim got that way. It's probably a bit much. Though admittedly she hasn't done much else - except max'd mechanical and some misc. Some of that happens automatically with the badges, so it does kind of double-up.

Ohhhh!!!! So your relevant wages hack is probably impoverishing my playable employees......
Unlikely. While the relevant-wages hack makes it so irrelevant badges don't count towards wage demands, nothing stops you from paying more. The alternative is that those sims would be unemployable because they would insist on wages that are outlandishly high despite being no better at doing the job than an employee with no additional irrelevant qualifications.

Out of curiosity, what counts as "relevant"? Do sims working as cooks in a restaurant demand wages based on cooking skill? Do sims working at a fishing-and-gardening business have their fishing and gardening badges counted? Do cashiers have their sales badges counted? I noticed that a sim assigned to restock gets wage increases for increased sales badges, which is good because BRY makes her sell things in her spare time, too. What's the limit?

Yes: Cooking skill only counts in places where there is cooking equipment. Otherwise it has no relevance. Similarly irrelevant skills NEVER count: For instance, skills like "Logic" and "Charisma" never count, because there is no aspect of anything that uses them.

There isn't actually a detectable thing as a fishing business, so fishing does not count, but gardening, yes.

A sales badge is relevant to any business where there are salesable things. A cashier badge is relevant to any business that has a cash register. Since any business that has a cash register has salesable items, both badges count. However, irrelevant skillsets are not counted: Your PhD does not give you a better wage as a burger-flipper.

Ahh, so it has to do with what is actually present on the lot, and reassigning my workers is not going to cause them all to start demanding completely different wages. Good to know.
