Both my part-time jobs are having niche problems and I'm on lunch break at one trying to troubleshoot the other and all I want to do is tell both that I've run out of fucks to give and they should just work it out amongst themselves. I also hear plenty of that "hurr durr nobody wants to work" and I say nobody wants to pay benefits and I get ignored.

Lazyfire posted:My boss fully, totally believes that there are still a ton of enhanced unemployment and child tax credits out there in the US that are keeping people from getting jobs. He uses this as a reason why our vendors don't have enough people on staff to produce to schedule. The problem is that I've been on most of the calls with suppliers having manpower issues. They're in the middle of nowhere and have each stated they needed to raise their starting rate to be in line with Amazon to even get applications. Worth noting here is that these are companies making (largely) aluminum castings. Vendors have to be careful about who they bring on and have to develop talent so they can work in some of the more high sensitivity operations if the new people don't have experience. So until the last few weeks these places were paying people less than $15 an hour to perform some really complex tasks to produce expensive parts at insane rates during COVID and my boss thinks the reason our vendors are unable to hire is because people don't want to work. Where I'm at, there has been a huge influx of people moving here, but what people aren't understanding is that the people who moved here already have jobs. No one is moving here so they an work at Taco Bell. There isn't enough people around to cover all the places opening up and its breaking people's minds.

No one is moving here so they an work at Taco Bell. There isn't enough people around to cover all the places opening up and its breaking people's minds. For the first time in the 11 years I've lived in this city all the food/retail chains in the area are putting out "now hiring" signs and advertising above our state's minimum wage ($13/hr presently). We're at full employment in the state and mostly across the country and businesses that thought they could just exploit the labor market are slowly realizing labor has the power for the first time in a long time. Inflation hitting before anyone could actually demand better pay has led to a bunch places just throwing out better numbers hoping they can stay open their normal hours by attracting people to either work there instead of some place just down the road offering slightly better money for the same level of work. It's great to see labor be in the driver's seat for once, even if I probably won't see much of a raise next year due to the "shifting market." It's very hard for people I work with to understand that we wouldn't have jobs at all if we kept paying the bottom 95% of the country starvation wages as you can't afford to fly if you make $7.25 an hour.

Yeah, I don't think wages rising is really labor getting in the drivers seat, but more like a lot of jobs that pay like poo poo running face first into economic realities. Labor pool is slowly shrinking and inflation continues to rise, ergo the working class literally cannot afford to work a job that won't pay. It was a correction that long in the coming but it was gonna hit eventually, and I have no reason to believe that things will get better, ever. I'm going to call the minimum wage the floor, and the "literal smallest amount of money you can spend to sustain yourself in thr shittiest, most awful way possible" the slave floor. The slave floor is well past the minimum wage floor (federally, anyway), so places still trying to pay that can't find anyone to work.

It's not easy to staff, but you have to realize you aren't just competing with the restaurant across the street, you are competing with the grocery store and the best buy etc. People will go where they're paid right and treated well.

I'm not big enough to have an internal recruiter, and I can't put enough of my own time into it to manage the entire pipeline for 5+ mid/senior positions per year. About 80% of my attrition is promotions to corporate positions though so HR covers my recruiting costs. I suppose the dumb poo poo is that we are so worried about headcount but we have no problem paying the equivalent amount to vendors.

I'm in a weird corner of my company that HR doesn't really understand.

It's too loving hot to brew so I'm hoping my recirc and sparge go smoothly!

Good for those folks! From what I hear the local seasonal tourism employers are getting hosed because nobody wants to deal with them any more now that practically every job is $15+. gently caress them and I hope several of my old bosses eat poo poo.

champagne posting posted:are you in a terrible prison? My wife has a co-worker stuck in this spot. All her meetings are online, but sometimes she has to go on the shop floor and put eyes on an assembly. That could also be done remotely by email and SAP, but her boss insists it has to be done in person. Meanwhile, my team hired a guy in Iowa and a lady in Puerto Rico in the last month because we are never being forced back to the office. I mean, eventually they will, but for now we are expected to be remote.

All we did was pretend fake audit reports were real to check a box. Manager did nothing all day except try to manage their house remodel, they were terrible at that too if the liens the contractors were taking out on their house that came in over the fax machine were any indication.
