Loose bolts

My nephew a couple of years back did not get a job he put in for. He was told that he was the best candidate but they had to fill it with someone else. Companies can't blame their issues on someone else if they decide to live or die by DEI.

When you hire tokens, you get tokens.

Unfortunate fact. Nowadays most competent is often not suitable. As there are certain quotas, which must be filled, no matter the consequences.

The more "special" boxes the person tics, the more "qualified" they are

Special boxes don't matter...it's the quietly quiting mindset that is screwing over the work force...the entitlement mindset regardless of your color, sex or pronouns is destroying us from the inside out..

1st taste of it was the occupy Wallstreet nonsense...

Lack of quality control is one of the results of it imo

The entitlement i read in the above post... The entitlement to continue to leverage and exploit disadvantaged and desperate people. The entitlement and rage in the statement "I can't find anyone willing to work anymore" when what they really mean is "I can't find anyone willing to work for the slave wages I offer anymore". Or, my favorite... The entitlement in the statement "if I paid them what they want, they'd be making more than me".

That kind of entitlement?

Slave labor? People have a choice where they work. If you want to flip burgers and raise a family..... that would be your issue. We see this a lot. Make yourself more valuable. Get into a trade and work your way up like we did. No one is paying slave labor. The slaves are on handouts. They get their phone, their food, and the stipend, all from the wallet of their their neighbor.

Sparky, I have no clue in which kind of commie dictatorship you are living, but in my world one one change the workplace, have promotion, study, re-educate oneself and do many things to improve own position. And I have changed workplace many times, even to less paid job, which I felt more suitable for me. And also twice refused from promotion, as it would have made me "flying a desk" and that wasn't for me.

Slave wages lol

No.. certain groups have figured out how to live off the government tit while doing whatever..sell drugs, steal, etc..to the point they have to let illegal immigrants to do the jobs those would be qualified for...landscaping,  roofing, strawberry picking, etc..

Just need a high school diploma and the will to work hard

I did it so I know it's possible..retired full-time last October at age 64...many just want it handed to them without putting in the effort..I  know this too as I worked with some of them.

Seems most can't handle anything dealing with any kind of manual labor anymore...turn over is constant.

There is some truth in that. The wages of the hired help has not risen like it has for upper management.

From what I have seen so far is that (younger) people want a job that involves doing absolutely the smallest amount of work possible then demand $25 an hour for said work. A lot of it is just laziness.

Watched a door dash guy go to a house and set the food on the front steps and drive away. No knocking on the door, no saying "food is here" or anything. Just walk from his car wearing trashy bellybutton clothes and set the bag of food on the outside exposed concrete steps in 35 degree weather and get in his car and drive off. Sat out there for at least 10 minutes before someone sticks their head out the door looking around for the food then finding it.

Talked to an HR lady that hired someone to stock shelves at a grocery store. They quit an hour after they started because "the job wasnt for them because it is too much work and that they wanted to be in management instead". Both her and I worked in a different grocery store together 20 years ago so we know how easy the job is to do.

Someone who quit a job that involves working outside because it blew their mind that they have to work while its raining.

Wanting time off from work because their dog died. 


And it just goes on and on

Saw a funny meme. Some folks screaming "we voted to raise property taxes, not rent!"

[sparky127]

NONE of these replies disagree with anything in my post.  You just don't like these truths and instead choose to build a strawman.

WHY, work your life away for someone else to receive what you earned. Spending an hr out of one’s short life to push a broom is worth $15.

Why crush your short life, like a slave, so some fat rich bastage CEO can have a 4th car and 3rd house?

This is why unions were created. People smartened up. “This is MY life, not yours.”
“FU, pay me”.

Everyone should make what I do.



Demark, happiest country in the world.

Anyone seen Ripsnort?

[AKIron]

One redeeming feature of communism, everyone works, no exceptions. Or at least everyone pretends to work, while they pretend to pay them.
