Good point. I’ve noticed that as well.
Tough finding workers at all these days for many businesses. Know a guy with a smoothie shop. He went through 40 workers to find one that’d actually work. Many didn’t quit. They’d just not show up at all.
I am a security guard at a power plant. It does not pay much per hour but it is higher than other security work. The employee turnover is terrific and gets me a lot of overtime which my employer officially forbids but the positions must all be staffed 24-7. Most of the turnover seems to be younger folks who are only in it because they need a little money for something in particular or to pay off a bill they can’t get away from. Or they quit when they get tired of working for so little and go to another job where they wind up working for less. I try to point this out to some before they actually leave but it makes no difference. Once they have a little money they quit. I don’t try to talk them out of quitting any more. It gets me more O/T. Now when I hear one of the others threatening to quit because this job is so much hassle I encourage them to go find something more interesting. The “hassle” of which they complain is sitting at a desk or driving a truck around the perimeter at 5 mph. I walk a good part of the perimeter so I don’t get fat and weak.
