They’re hoping that wages will rise due to the shortage of eligible/trained/skilled/drug-free/available workers.
Employers ARE going to have to cut back on the Company Parties and Tropical Vacations for, ‘Management’ and PAY competent people a good wage to run things for them.
I’ve been blessed. I always fell into jobs (never went looking, post Army career) where my employers KNEW they’d struck gold by hiring me. Ex-military, I show up for work on time, if not early...and actually WORK...good leadership skills and the ability to get those under me to work, too.
It’s a lost art, that’s for sure. But, I’m retired now. So, screw the rest of ya, LOL! ;)
