The guy that runs the company that mows my lawn quit today. He explained that he could not find anyone that wanted a job. He is cutting down his business because no one wants to work.
I cannot get my guy to come and cut my lawn. He says nobody wants to work.
I’m hearing that a lot - a local electrician hired a 19 year old who showed up for three days. Seems 0700 was too early for him to get to work.
Simple. He refuses to pay enough to get workers. He is hard head that want to set wages like a mini Stalin or something.
To most Republicans rising wages are a crises....
That is what I am seeing even here in fly over country. I told the doc today that his clinic’s admin is falling apart. Boy did I get a reaction out of that. Turnover and nobody wants to work. Where they had 5 doing billing two months ago there are 2 now. They either quit outright or quit to go work in the pot growing places for more money and less responsibility and free samples.
Even his nurse, an RN, quit and she had been there for a long time. The new one has enough tattoos to be a billboard or graffiti wall. Other than that, just OK.
The doc is getting on in years and if it gets too messed up he will bail. Bad news for me.
Change and decay in all about I see. That needs to become a tagline.
We sort of know what has happened. Covid / corona / rona / C-19 etc. People got paid too much to stay home and now they can’t get over that and go back to work. I’d also say lots of people just hung it up and retired.
Applications to become an indian in the tribe have gone up to 2,000 a week. The bennies are just too good to pass up I guess. The giverment programs are lush and they have not used up all the money shoveled to them in the last 16 months or so yet with more on the way. Such problems you would not believe. Oy!
“We were receiving 2,000 applications
for citizenship a week at one
point, which is 10 times the volume
we normally receive,” Interim Registrar
Derrick Vann said. “Having
our office temporarily closed to
in-person services has allowed us
to focus heavily on catching up on
the backlog of applications. We’re
working at great speed to help our
citizens with the COVID-19 programs
and assistance they may
need.”
