My employer has been struggling to find good workers to hire. It's entry-level work with lots of opportunity for advancement, no degrees or certificates required, pays well, and they let people telecommute. All that's required is an internet connection and a willingness to talk on the phone for 8 hours a day. But, more than half the new hires quit before the end of their second month. Why? Because by then they're eligible for unemployment again. They'll even brag about it as they leave!
There's not a job shortage, there's a work ethic shortage.
"All that's required is an internet connection and a willingness to talk on the phone for 8 hours a day."Sorry but that is just not true. I interviewed for one of those kinds of jobs. you have to have a pristine internet connection (if youre throttled/capped, FORGET it). The kind they have in South Korea. Most ISPs in the U.S. are capping or throttling (mandatory, no way out of it) their customers to price-gouge them.
