I wonder if most companies are starting to realize what a mistake it was to treat employees liike theyr're disposable?

In my working years most companies have treated employees as disposable because they knew people were easy to replace, but now the tables are turned and it's the employees who have more of the upper hand. Employees don't have to put up with crap as much because they are not nearly as easy to replace. Now employers are more desperate.

In a few weeks people will be dying looking for jobs. Employers need to hang on and then hire these people for as little possible.

@Keepitsimple Is it really the best thing for the country to have the majority of the population being paid as little as possible?

Do you think people who are choosing to sit on their ass on purpose should be paid top dollar when they finally are forced to work?@Narwhal

@Keepitsimple That's a nasty attitude to have. Companies like that deserve bad employees.

@Cloud7593 Nasty? Why? How ambitious and hardworking are these people with a void of a year and a half work history.

@Keepitsimple That's why a lot of people don't want to work in the first place, because so many companies have run all over them in the past.

Which is not to say there's not a lot of lazy people out there.

@Keepitsimple it's so funny because these same people like to act like what successful businesses are doing is immoral meanwhile they sell shitty homemade clay mugs on etsy for $50... 🤣

@DeluxedEdition You’re right, lol. They feel they are entitled to a lot of things so I can’t take them seriously.

@Keepitsimple They shouldn't be paid top dollar, but they should be paid enough to live and justify selling their time, otherwise they just aren't going to work. We can moralize and say they're lazy all we want, but if they feel they could spend their time better elsewhere, they are going to do that. That's human nature. They are going to do the thing that is best for their own survival. They don't care if you or some prospective boss call them "lazy" anymore than business owners do when they get called "greedy."

The problem is that they simply aren't going to go to a difficult, thankless job that doesn't allow them to at least break even every month, because then what's the point? Even if we take gov't assistance out of the picture, what is the point of a single mother going to a job as a cook that pays $10/hr when childcare costs $15/hr?

@DeluxedEdition I work in a thrift store and see this all the time.
