Raise the wages you’re offering and more folks will apply.

Demonstrably untrue. Wages in many service industries have doubled...remember the push for $15?
Well most have it and jobs still go begging. And those who do show up have little taste for actual work.
I know some warehouse jobs paying up to $25/hr! To pick stock and put it on a pallet.. Really?
Not mentioned was the rent holidays that allowed people to shaft their landlords for months. Thats a large chunk of budget they get to play with without consequence.

The workforce is not the same as it was even 3 years ago....

I’ll go one step further …

Any employer that fired employees for refusing to get a COVID “vaccine” almost certainly threw away their most productive, responsible, self-motivated and conscientious workers. And they KEPT the workers who are most likely to be whining, malingering hypochondriacs.

One of the sites that we support pays very good ($25-30/hour). The problem that they have had with people are no show / no notice sick days, coming back routinely late from lunch, etc. Two no shows / no notice at work gets you fired. You get two warnings - one when you start, one when you do it the first time.

There’s a couple FReepers that insist that if you raise the wages enough, these sorts of people will be weeded out.
