“Well then get off your lazy duffs and train employees the way you want them.”

This is the big lie behind companies saying, “We can’t find people with the right skill sets”.

What they are really saying is that they can’t find someone who can immediately fill the position left behind by some person who quit (or retired) without spending significant money on training.

You see it all the time in the tech world. They aren’t looking for someone with solid basic skills that can be trained in a few weeks/months to be productive. No, they are asking for such specific criteria that almost no on can meet it.

The execs don’t want to invest a nickel in training anyone and the grads think they are God’s gift to the working world. They both have that “It’s all about me” problem.

This is code for, "We want more people from India will to work for 38k per year and won't bitch"..

As the overpaid multimillionaire CEO's and corporate insiders concoct schemes to pay what is left of their employees phony commissions, prizes and unachievable incentive scams, in lieu of real pay raises.

Hell, this is going on all the way down to the retail/service level.
