So your solution is that if you have a bunch of non-motivated workers just keep raising their pay?
Pay enough to hire competent and motivated people. they are out there.
You get what you pay for. Pay peanuts you get crap. And deserve it.
Employers who whine about not being able to get good people are just as loathsome as people who won’t focus and work their tail off to do a good job.
Just a bunch of whiners.
