A more truthful take on the "employee shortage"

Here places wont hire people who wanna work. My 18 year old has been all but begging for any job. No one will hire her.

All these help wanted signs. And shes vaccinated. No one will hire her.

My 16 year old was having a similar issue, no one would hire her because shes 16. She did get hired at a dollar store.

I'm probably gonna pay for my oldest to take CNA classes and get her BLS and she will be able to work in healthcare. Shes going into nursing anyway.

For several months now, we’ve been hearing from businesses and corporations that no one wants to work.

In fact, I’ve heard some people say: “There are plenty of good jobs out there making more than $15 an hour. If people aren’t taking them, it’s because they can make more at home on government hand-outs.”

I beg to differ. I’m beginning to think it’s not the workers who are at fault here.

I’ve watched over the past few months as my son works to get a better paying entry-level job. It has been eye-opening.

In September, Tim Glaza, an Eagle Scout and college graduate with a degree in operations and supply-chain management told Business Insider that his numerous applications to positions in his field had received no response, despite companies saying they were desperate for employees.

In fact, when hiring platform Indeed polled job seekers last year, it found that 77 percent got no response from any of the companies they applied to.

When my son did get positions through networking, he found he didn’t get what he was promised. In one instance, he was told he would get paid more than the job he was leaving. When he got his paycheck, it was for less than he had previously made. When he approached his boss about it, he was told “We’re barely making it. We can’t afford to pay you more.”

At another position, he was promised $2 more an hour, but then shifted to a different position after he started work, where they paid him less, and at part-time hours.

And it’s not just him. I’ve heard from others who say they were promised one hourly rate and paid another. And I work with one woman who said she was offered positions, but all of them were part-time. In order to manage her child care needs and pay the bills, she opted to start her own business instead.

The economy is not what it was in 2019, I get that. Companies are struggling right now, I get that too. And I understand that the supply chain issues are driving up costs for companies as well.

But at the same time, corporations posted RECORD profits in 2021. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, profits in the U.S. rose 3.4 percent to a record high of $2.52 trillion in the third quarter of 2021. Analysts attribute the profits to a rebounding economy, and on the government subsidies given to businesses as part of relief efforts.

“No one wants to work”, but companies aren’t talking to people who want jobs.

“We can’t afford to pay you what you want/need to live”, but companies are making record profits.

“The government subsidies are making people not want to work”, but companies are making record profits because of government subsidies.
I’m beginning to think that maybe it’s not the workers who are at fault here.

You always find something to bitch about, don't you? I C&P'd to benefit the lazy fucks who don't click through.

I usually at least italicize my copy paste words, so that way folks know the difference between what I say and what someone else said.

Just sayin' what I do so folks know the difference.

Hey Sea, I believe, as you normally quote folks on, that "this is a neutral area".

I know you hate kids, but come on man, Harry's kid barely lived through that shit, give it a rest.

 

[Seamajor]

Sorry, in my mind DD is a bullshitter. Your right about the thread being a neutral thread

Its a LOT going on, no one reason. Several have already been mentioned in this thread.

I do believe the small business folks are struggling to a degree, cant afford to hire. While the corporations are raking it in to a degree.

Same with "covid", lot of folks scared to work, or put themselves "in harms way".

Some would rather stay on unemployment, cause it pays better. Or, they afraid of taking a NEW job, get the covid, and then have to lay out for 2 weeks UNPAID cause they new.

Then there is the mandates, no one with a lick of sense wants indefinite jabs. Especially experimental ones.


I think thats a great idea on your oldest daughter getting some classes. Thats what my wife did long ago. I still have all her certificates. Those certs she could of took anywhere back then and got a job.

My lil brother, he was working at McDonalds at her age. One day, he said fuck this shit. Started taking medical classes, started working at the hospital. NOW he almost has his Doctorates in Psychology! Im really proud of him. Unfortunately he became woke from Uni lol. But I know you raised your lil one right lol.

He can make fun of me and mock me till the cows come home, but he's just made it personal...

He's a coward for going in that direction.

He will get what he deserves.

However, I won't skip trace his kids back from the name and picture of his boat. I'll probably just set the IRS on him....

 

[RANCIDMILKO ™ ®©]

Is it your favorite? How about your deformed kid? Does he like em too?

Dude, I know you and Freud have your beef, but you don't need to involve his children in it

Especially if they're handicapped or something

You're better than that, don't let trolling turn you into a heartless person.

There has never been anything between us...he says shit and I respond in a manner which clowns him.

However, he made it personal this time...

I never in a million years thought to use rl info about his kids against him... that's simply a line I did not cross or ever would.

But I cannot abide by such pussery.

Either Seaboobs apologises for going to far, or I GO TOO far.

The IRS, State of California, how about the Province of the Guanacaste?

I C&P'd plagiarized to benefit the lazy fucks who don't click through.

Fixed.

Apparently not.

I notice there's always a Help Wanted sign outside this retirement home when I walk by it:

They are experiencing staff shortages at these old folks homes. People don't wanna work there cuz these seniors have a high probability of getting Covid & infecting others.

Anyone who reads the op can tell. Breakfall was bitching because I C&P'd. He knew that's what I did.

The POINT of this whole thread is that there isn't an employee shirtage. There's a decent job shortage even though corporations, as usual, are raking it in.
