My son was a GM in a national restaurant chain. He said what he saw was shocking. He couldn’t get people to work more than 1 pay period. They’d start, and work until they got their 1st paycheck, and then not come back. They would then go do whatever they were doing with that money until it ran out, and then get a job somewhere else and do it again. The company was offering signing bonuses (paid out partially over 3-4 paychecks), a good starting salary for the area that they were in, and promises of raises. NONE of it mattered.
My daughter was a GM in a national retail clothing company. She just couldn’t get employees AT ALL.
Yep. spoke with an older walmart employee (60 something) and she said the youngsters come in, get their first paycheck and that is it.
Also the really terrible ones think they shouldn’t have to work more than 8 hours a week. So it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. They are so horrid that mgmt. cuts their hours more and more until they eventually don’t bother.
Easier than firing them as most can be litigious activists.
I am not saying you are wrong, but I can’t get a job anywhere in the McKinney, TX area. I’d even work at a Home Depot. I have a degree from the U.S. Naval Academy, I am a retired Navy Commander, and I also have an MBA and a PMP. I have applied at 100 places in the past month and not one call back. I’ve tried really pairing down my resume. Nothing.
