Sure everywhere is fucking hiring. But not a living wage or any benefits. I get to listen all day to old pieces of shit bitch about no one wanting to work. I have no sick days available. No vacation time. But I get free chiropractor care after 90 days and scrub stippant. After ninety days. And if you're a minute late (even if they don't unlock the building) be prepared to be lectured.

I’m pretty sure she posted it because her son owns a restaurant and can’t find anyone to work there. Maybe if he offered to pay higher than a slave’s wage he would have more people apply to work there.

I'm sure there are a lot of people in the service industry who aren't in any hurry to go back while there are still roughly 50,000 new cases of Covid and 1000 deaths each day.
Many people refusing to get vaccinated coupled with the fact that you can't eat or drink with a mask on.

Yeah fuck that, demand more. Serfdom is finished and fuck the boomers that will complain about it. Their ship is sinking

Well a good number of them only have maybe a decade left. Eventually they’ll be gone but I just really hope that millennials and zoomers don’t let ourselves repeat the same cycle of bullshit.

As someone who the only job I could actually get was with a temp agency after a year of applying in my actual field, this makes me wanna kill someone.

> in my actual field
There's your problem according to this special person. Boomers think you should just work at McDonald's until you magically find a good job.
Of course not considering that if you take said crap job companies won't hire you because they wonder why you'd work there.
I've talked to several people who I know who "can't find workers". I ask what they pay and say $12-15 with no benefits. It goes over their head or they get mad when I tell them that's 'disposable job' or 'walmart' pay. They think they can get skilled labor for the same as someone can make at a gas station and of course won't train. And get mad when they leave to start their own company if they do train and try to keep their pay at $15

Buddy I work in the medical field during a pandemic

Unless that's covid related, there's less of them like everything else that closed down. Elective surgery was stopped for quite a while....

My dude stop acting like the system just worked I'm a emt a first responder one of the people that one of the people that they couldn't get enough during a pandemic and I lost my job half way though said pandemic. Because of covid cut backs and I couldn't get another one even though I'm qualified was willing and had good recommendations from all my past places of work. If I was any less qualified then I am (with schooling, a military back ground, a ems license) I would STILL be unemployed. People who are unemployed rn its not that they are lazy or not trying hard enough it's because no one is hiring. (Also I did apply to McDonald's and they didn't hire me because I'm "over qualified")

These are the same boomer people that say"Min wage jobs are just starter jobs and only for high school students too. So you should just get a good paying job".
My "good paying job" did layoffs for almost a month. And the contract side of things we are so thinned out it is crazy.

Yes, the magical job tree where you just pick a jobbie that you like.

Oh, get a job? Just get a job? Why don't I strap on my job helmet and squeeze down into a job cannon and fire off into job land, where jobs grow on jobbies?!

I got a jobbie!! Could I just borrow $50 maybe to buy some pens and a trapper keeper?

All the news outlets are saying shit like, “Employers are shocked that people aren’t taking jobs they are offering.” Bitch, they are paying shut wages with no benefits, what do they expect?!? Of course the news has no comment on that idea.

My dad said this, minus the lazy part. Yeah, people are hiring, but they pay is garbage and the work is crap. People are waking up to how screwed they're being.

I got let go in February with a decent resume background and could not for the life of me get even a receptionist job. But fuck me for trying to find a stable office gig and not want to work evenings and weekends for $12 an hour. I was a waitress once and frankly, do not want to do that again unless I absolutely had to. I worked retail for years before I got a decent job and the soul sucking environment, from both customers and the people behind the counter, is not a place I can function in for a long time.

when they say "everyone is hiring" they mean part time fast food with no benefits, vacation, or sick days. that's who is hiring.
i've been stuck in an awful situation with a demented boomer boss for almost 2 years, only stayed because they kept me through the pandemic. i've been trying to get out since things started opening back up and the prospects are fucking slim. there is nothing viable. and i live in NYC.

Boomers: "If you want a living wage, get a better job"
Everyone: "Ok"
Boomers: "Why can't I get anyone to work for me? (surprised Pikachu)"
