” and can look at bikinis.”
I was a certified CA lifeguard when I was at Stanford BECAUSE of that. Motivation is underrated in life lol. I had fellow grads who told me to avoid the public pools due to politics: make sure pervs are faraway from the fence , copter’ parents etc.
“lifeguards. Easy job”
If one were to ask “Are ignorant, or stupid?” what would be the reply?
Public Pool lifeguard has crappy pay AND is dangerous.
(Best paying gig is Adult Pool partys at a private pool)
Blow a whistle on some jack-wagon doing crazy things, get knifed by a 13 yr old, or followed home by the low-life’s Posse?
Why do it? Young folks can just float some AMC calls and make Bank while sipping a Red Bull.
It’s a different world. Bro
Guess what? A lot of employers won’t hire anyone who does not get the vaccine. Those employers deserve to have no help.
No he’s buying Votes and we all know it!
That ‘free-money’ wasn’t enough for all these months to cover rent. So that no-eviction ‘rule’ laid down by the government...closes out at the end of June.
Lot of chatter going on presently of what effect this will cause, and some suggesting in the 15-to-20 million range of people who will get eviction notices in July, and be on the street by August.
Flying a plane is easy too, when everything is going ok.
A pilot is paid to be there for when things go wrong, as is the case with a lifeguard.
Let’s just sit back and let the government put free money in our bank accounts. /s
They’re tired of The Man keeping them down.
Most of these people are stars in the industry. It’s astonishing how ‘effing stupid these employers are.
Yours is an insightful point. Exactly like masking, avoiding work (i.e., laziness) has become nothing more than a vile, nasty bad habit; with masking, a vile, nasty, unhealthy bad habit which, like any bad habit, takes courage and strength to break.
How many of these vacancies are in Democrat supported riot areas?
How many of these vacancies are due to retirements, either directly from the position or from when the job holder moved into a position vacated by the retiree?
How many of these jobs are part-time or seasonal and in an area locked down by Governors' diktats?
How many of these were second jobs for people? Who would go back to tending bar in a restaurant that's limited to 50% capacity?
How many of these positions are on the books but won't be filled?
Wages should be going up if there is a shortage of labor. Are they?
Maynard!
Wages ARE going up in many industries. In my neck of the woods I pass by billboards advertising wages of $22/hour for warehouse jobs that require almost no skills at all.
The more I look at this the less I buy that it’s a problem.
We are reopening from a 15 month shutdown. Of course the job openings come first. People are perusing their opportunities.
This will work itself out in a few months, but just like under Obama, more people will use the welfare system than we saw happen under Trump. It’s always that way when Democrats are in power. I have a friend in Cali who hasn’t worked in 25 years. His wife makes $50k as a teacher and he sits on his butt collecting various govt goodies. Until 25 years ago he worked part-time. Now he doesn’t even bother with that.
Just today, the company that’s supposed to put in drainage pipes in my back yard called and said they’ve got a wage dispute going on and will call me when it’s settled.
It’s hard to figure out how high unemployment rates and wage demands are related, but I think skilled workers, as opposed to illiterate illegals, are flexing their muscles.
I’m doing retirement planning myself.
**************
Pay down/off your debts as much as possible. Retirement will cost more than you think, especially with inflation rising. Make sure you have some income that rises to keep up with it and the tax burden.
It will be a bit of a financial adjustment but the freedom afforded in retirement can be wonderful.
