When takers get free student loans, phones, cars, rent and workers get taxed, force jabbed, called racist and sexist it hurts productivity

Who would have thunk it.

It's like our enemies had a plan to bring us down from within because they knew our government was to cowardly (Rinos) and corrupt (Democrats and Rinos) to do anything about it.

Everyone I know that owns a business will say amen to this. It is going to take some hard, hard times to turn this one around. The dimtards have have done terrible damage to the American phsyche.

Work from home and stare at your phone. When you go to work, sit and stare at your phone.

This isn't helping my retirement guilt.

Boomers have been complaining that no one wants to work since the dawn of time. People want to work, but they won't work for a crappy wage. It cost a good wage to get a good worker. Pay crappy wages and get crappy workers. It's that simple. The decline in productivity shows that workers are finally getting the compensation they deserve.

Please define for me what a good wage is for an 18 year old with no skills.

Thanks!

You've checked all the boxes on a medical diagnosis called entitlement mentality disorder which is considered a narcissistic personality disorder. Such a disorder is defined by a sense of deservingness or being owed a favor when little or nothing has been done to deserve a particular treatment. Entitlement mentality disorder causes damage to long term relationships, a general sense of unhappiness, depression and generally follows a 3 step cycle of 1)entitlement; 2) unmet expectations and anger; and 3) self consolation and self reassurance of entitlement to relieve distress.

Unfortunately, this disorder has become so prevalent among young people that it's actually being deemed acceptable by a significant portion of our population.

In order to overcome entitlement mentality disorder, practice gratitude and humility which would help you become more responsible and considerate of others.

While you may rebuff those biblical principles, I assure you they work.

Lol, will they find a quarter of those 87k IRS agents?

Also, define what a good wage is for an adult with no skills.

The problem I see with society now, is most want a high wage for no skills, resulting from either not going to college or tech school or going to college and taking the easy way and getting a worthless degree you cruise through.

Everyone I know that got an Engineering, healthcare, technical etc., degree is doing pretty good right now.

I love these comments from people who don't own, and likely will never own a business.

We had written in our small growing business plan to hire at least 3/4 more employees this year. Inflation and soaring wage requirements for kids out of school who will need training and not be affective for at least 9/10 months caused us to pretty much outsource our labor needs to outside agencies that can get the job done for a fraction of the price and help us automate those jobs.

Sucks but with the coming recession and jobs being cut it's going to be a wake up for some people.

That last line doesn't mean what you think it means. Higher wages but less hours, benefits, and opportunities for advancement. I'm all for paying people market wage but most people believe they are underpaid and overvalue their skills. Lots of mid-skilled workers unwilling or unable to move up the ladder so instead extract value through higher wages but add little to productivity while also taking away opportunities from the low-skilled people entering the work force who may be willing to work force less.

The wage compression issue is annoying me. I like my work a lot, and don't care to move up higher in the business I am working in because of that, but as the unskilled labor rates have increased, our skilled technical labor rates at the field level have not kept pace, and there is considerable wage compression occurring. Eventually, many workers like me will move out of these roles to either do something much easier for almost the same pay, or something different entirely seeking a pay increase.

This happens every time there is a labor shortage, and it has the effect of further reducing the pool of skilled labor on top of unskilled labor.

Still waiting for Dork Brandon to answer, my popcorn is ready!

I'm waiting for that jagoff group, the AMA, to find credit with the disorder and classify it as a medical condition subject to worker's comp benefits.

My perspective on my current work environment.

NOTHING F WORD WORKS! NOTHING!

Prior to covid our top management started cutting heads and changing the way we do work and interact with customers. Now my company is a horrible mess.

We can't keep good people mid mgmt on down. New hires in customer service make it through training, work for two months then never show up again. Warehouse people same.

Sales was gutted and many high performers were replaced with low paid warm bodies. Our factories can't produce product at the same pace. Our engineers have been tasked with spending 25% or so of their time on non engineering work.

I can't blame any employee or customer who doesn't want to be a part of this circus.

And when I talk to other people in my space they say the same things about their industries and companies.

So I have some empathy. I would leave my company yesterday if I wasn't so attached to a major project I am running.

This. My wife can barely keep vet techs hired because they only make $15-20 an hour for a skilled job that can be pretty demanding at times. It's tough when you can just go up the road and flip burgers or work at Buc-ees and make the same money while turning your brain off.

In a free market you get paid what you are worth to the employer. If you don't think you are making enough get more skills or a different job.

Don't blame the messenger (employer). You are not owed a job

This is so true!!
Workers have kept their 2020 low productivity levels.
Very scary and disturbing.
People need to work like it is 2019 again.

I think we want all IRS agents doing this

This is why I push my 16/14 yr old kids so much

• Highly competitive sports - national and international travel and competition
• Multiple sports at a time
• Physical conditioning - I go to the gym with them and smoke them as best I can
• Very defined household chores
• 16 old has a job
• Church is not an option to miss
• They handle all their own paperwork - signing up for school stuff, medical records, etc. They have to manage all of it and we review before its sent
• Managing a budget, and now for the 16yr with a car, expenses and maintenance

16 straight months of wage declines continues with today's CPI number

anyone think the media will cover that?

WTH bro!?!?
No time for Netflix and Chills?
No idle time for pot and booze experimentation?
Curfews are for squares.


All kidding aside.
Great stuff there!!
I really wish more parents would embrace some of this as well.

you may have been joking, but the government regulators I have to work with literally were working from home for almost two years during COVID

I was back in the office for nearly a year before they went back to the State Department

NBC news covered the decline, but not the length of time.
Keen observation on your part.

Most everyone here is arguing from the wrong end of the problem … the root cause is our ****ty currency that averages 2% loss of purchasing power every year during our lifetimes. We are hitting the point where people innately feel the lack of power in the dollar and so folks have their "give a damns"' busted.

Sometimes I read your posts and think there's no way that you're honestly that dumb... then you post drivel like this and I realize that yes... yes you are.

People's wages are nothing more than an expense that's tied to the goods they produce... pay more and the prices go up. Crazy stuff, I know...

It goes both ways, if the employer underpays you, they get undereffort.

I saw a post this morning from neighborhood app, it read " daughter needs recommendation for work from home job, she has anxiety and doesn't like public spaces". I replied" she may be ready to be institutionalized if she can't function in society". That's when the fight started.
