Why work when you can make more staying home?
[”We are short-staffed. Please be patient with the staff that did not show up. No one wants to work anymore.”]
Shouldn’t that be “Please be patient with the staff that DID show up.”?
Just proves raising their wages doesn’t work because they don’t want to “work”...they want to be celebrities and noticed...as tic tock and all the other social media’s attest to.

On the local news they interviewed a local restaurant owner who said that exact thing about getting workers; they’re making more on unemployment. He was pretty fired up about it, too.
Pay them in Marijuana! :)
Um...never mind.

True.
Been unemployed since March 2020. My field is either shutdown (events, travel, tourism, sports, concerts) or so dominated by Indian recruiters and H1Bs that any skilled Americans are not employable. Sure there are a few exceptions, but a vast majority of job openings went to foreigners.
Why would a skilled white-collar of blue-collar worker go back and work at a part-time minimum wage starter job?
Not going to make the $3900 a month I’m getting from Unemployment at McDonald’s or any other job where there are openings - Workforce, Veterans and the official state jobs portal is full of these sub-$15/ hr jobs. Jack-in-the-Box, McDonald’s and other fast-food, entry-level grocery store and retail always hiring and take up perhaps 60% of the weekly state listing. Bureau of Prisons, security and healthcare jobs also remain unfilled.
Employers in my neck of the Upstate NY woods are saying the same.
They cannot get people to come back or in to work.
They’d rather stay home and suck off the government teat.
One of the first things the soviets learned upon taking over was that nobody wanted to work anymore since it didn't matter, so they made it illegal to NOT have a job for over a short time, and the soviets were more than happy to throw your butt into prison to work on their equivalent of a chain gang somewhere very cold.
Wait until the blamtifa tools and purple haired freaks find out that there's no such thing as a free lunch.
