I used to work at a community College teaching people how to drive large commercial vehicles.
Recruiters would come in looking for new drivers at a training wage to start and the students would ask..."why work for you when I can make the same collecting unemployment?"
They want high pay with no experience.
Quoted from gdonovan:Thank you, I suspected you had nothing of substance to add to the conversation from the start.
Don't start throwing mud now....
What's going to happen when there's not enough people in the workforce paying into Social Security and Social Security dries up and there's nothing left for anybody think about that for a little bit
Quoted from Redfive05:My father worked for HP for over 30 years. At 25 years he got the Gold Watch.... band.
No.... not the whole watch, just the band. You think after 25 years at a company you just get a gold watch?
Also.... I saw my father work there for over 30 years.... he retired early in 2014, died in 2015.
I "Silently Quit" every and any job I'll ever have from that day forth.
So he worked 30 yrs and only got a gold watch???? Didn't he collect a paycheck the whole time he was there. Apparently that wasn't good enough.
Quoted from snyper2099:Easy solution. Don't have kids if you can't afford them!
Agreed!!
Here's a question for ya...where are they going to get 87000 people to be IRS agents?
Never gonna happen
Quoted from Zablon:I wondered that too, but I don't know if the government has problems getting employees. They certainly have trouble getting quality politicians.
Amen to that. Didn't they say they were going get 100000 teachers too at some point? Now no one wants to be a teacher.
Quoted from Redfive05:Did this comment make you feel good?
No actually it wasn't good enough. Between al the extra time and effort I saw him put in over the years vs. how they "rewarded" him for all that. I would have to say absolutely not.
I did not say that to make me feel better. The point I was trying to make is that he obviously was able to provide you and your family a good life. Kind of hard to do that without a job.
I don't understand why people always bring the cost of having children into the discussion.
Did your employer tell you to have kids? No
But for some reason employer's catch he'll for it like it's their fault you can't afford them.
Quoted from radium:Who the hell can afford to retire at 55 anymore? I'll be working until I can no longer make it into the front door.
I retired at 55. My wife and I live within our means for the 24 yrs we have been married. She is retired to.
We worked hard. We saved our money.
And life is good.
Quoted from Deez:If I pay you to produce something and it's done by the
This. I see this at work all the time now.
People will drop something on the floor and expect someone else to clean it.
I walked into this yesterday at work.. Someone blew their ice coffee all over the time clock area, threw a towel on it... and just walked away.
[quoted image]
That's because they know some good guy like you will come and clean it up
Quoted from nicoy3k:Pay people more
If you pay people more, prices go up to compensate for the increase in wages and you're right back where you started.
