What a revolutionary concept
For the people this article is aimed at, it is a revolutionary concept.
We’ve got this problem at the place I work. I have to cover multiple departments because we’re short-staffed. Management tells me they’re trying to hire someone.
But the job postings are offering less per hour than when I was hired. We’re offering less than McDonalds, and this is a far more complex job.
There’s no reason for anyone to come work for us.
There’s also no reason for them to spend more money when you’re covering for multiple departments already. They’re pocketing the missing person’s salary while you do all the work. You need to look for another job or tell your boss that you need more salary to do the additional jobs foisted upon you.
In other news, water still wet.
Water isnt nor ever was wet.
and yes I’m fun at parties
Can you pour water onto water? Then yes, water can be wet.
That just makes more water, not wet water. Water cannot give a property to itself (wetness) that it, by definition, can only give to other things.
Dry air can dry air. Wet water can wet water. Checkmate!
By definition, only solids can get wet, so no, adding water to water doesn’t make it wet.
I’m joking. Calm down, get a good calming wet shower.
I hadn’t even downvoted you, and now you made me.

Oh shit!
I downvoted you both. For balance!
Did I say wet? I meant to say “water still wets”.
Won’t last. Not enough pizza parties and team building exercises like singing and clapping. Do these guys even business?
Thats just crazy enough to work!
I’m in a weird spot where I have watched a previous employer of mine slowly collapse due to (among other things) low pay. They wete trying to hire people to pour concrete for $12 per hour. They were trying to hire concrete finishers for $14.
I was fired for dubious and probably illegal reasons from that place, and I didn’t care, because I’d already lined up a better job in an attempt to flee a sinking ship. By some weird coincidence, the place I work now is very close to the place I used to work. None of the machines at the old place have moved all summer. The parking lot is almost empty when I drive by on the way home. It’s sad, as there were people who worked there who I respected.
Our industries are completely different, but your story reminds me of my own.
I’m a software developer, and I used to work for one of those companies that does everything in its power to convince you they’re a great place to work except pay competitive software developer wages. Free snacks! Great onsite gym! Cool, open floorplan! Their turnover was high, they had no clear corporate direction, and they didn’t pay what anyone was worth, so there was no loyalty.
I got fired very likely for finding out profits were plummeting and the whole thing was a front for the owner’s side-hustle, a Bitcoin mining operation.
These days, it’s a shell of its former self, and the few people left who I genuinely liked and respected are all looking for other jobs. I have no doubt the owner will eventually end up in prison.
This just in: A Florida man says not hitting himself in the face helped him end his chronic jaw pain. More at eight.
Pollo Tropical is awesome! Good food, good folks, good service. I wish them the best!
well who would’ve thought…
