“We’ll yes, but…” 🤣
Truths flying out of this man's mouth like a machine gun, gods damn
While it's all true, I suggest a different mindset. It's not an argument we need to win and all of a sudden businesses are going to wake up and start acting different. We need to realize we're something business wants, not the other way around. They want us so they need to treat us right or we leave, and it's no problem for us because we're in demand right now.
If they can't figure that out, that's thier problem and no amount of crying changes that. Shit like "nobody wants to work anymore" is an attempt to make us feel bad and make it our problem, it's not our problem it's their problem.
They forgot two words on the "Nobody wants to work anymore" and it should be "Nobody wants to work for me anymore". It's 100% on them. People want to work. People want to make a living, want to do something productive, want to be proud of what they do. They just want to be treated like they matter.

It's almost like people want to be treated well, no matter how low on the ladder their job lands.
There’s a certain type of management style that envisions itself as glengarry glen ross, and thankfully it is dying out. New style management is here to stay because it’s more attractive to talent, it’s more productive, and it’s ultimately cheaper/more profitable.
Why stick with the old way unless you just like the power rush?
half the time it's so hard to get hired i feel. like sure, I'm 16 with no experience, but this is fucking chipotle my guy
And then you have companies requiring everything under the sun and experience for an entry level position paying Chipotle wages... It's disgusting.
Companies want a unicorn without paying for it.
Or they could (a) invest in their existing staff to keep them on at far less, or (b) be willing to train.
Labor isn't seen as a resource but rather an expense. The way so many companies treat their employees is wholly predicated on seeing them as a cost center (much like It) and not an asset they are selling/loaning for revenue.
Paying workers a decent wage for their efforts, not loading so much work on them they start losing hair from stress, and demonstrating you actually trust those who do a good job?? You might as well ask them to give you the moon as well /s
It's horrific that this isn't just the standard. Your employees are just that, not slaves squeezed like a money sponge.

i don't want to work tho, gimme a good quality of life without having to work and i will retire immediately
They want workers, just a certain kind of worker.
