Retail workers are quitting at record rates for higher-paying work: ‘My life isn’t worth a dead-end job’

How is this even a thing? Back in the day getting an airport job made you set. Decent pay, decent benefits, potential to move up, getting to travel obviously. There's no way people are leaving just for wages. If I had to guess I'd say it's the entitled people flying giving attitude. That or all the fights and nonsense due to mask mandates.

Work week should be 32 hours 4 days of work and 3 days off

I've thought about this for a long time, and think it'd be a bad idea. First, the obvious, less working hours mean less pay. Which then means some people will be forced to do OT just to reach 40 hours make ends. Even further, some people will be doing 2x OT to make up any traditional OT they were making. People will be so burnt out that the extra day wont mean shit.

3 or even 4 day weekends people would look forward to due to holidays would be null and void.

Also, if we go from a 5 day to a 4 day work week, I can easily see people getting an inch but trying to take a mile by making the work week even less.

That's just my take though. I could be completely wrong and that shit changes the work mindset for the better. 🤷‍♂️
 
At my 2nd job (that I'm putting in my 2 weeks to quit as I type), I've been hearing horror stories from garbage ass customers now that shit is opening back up. I work overnight crew so I'm basically left alone and don't have to deal nobody except chit chat from coworkers and random stuff about invoices from managers....but yea nobody wants to deal with fuck ass customers who talk down to them over asking them to wear masks for minimum wage. The service industry as a whole aint some shit id wish on anyone rn. Theres nothing about it that's worth it.

We know for a fact happiest employees work between 36-38hrs per week. More than that and it upsets the work:life balance. If there wasn't such a massive pay discrepancy between the top and the bottom things could improve. But people fight tooth and nail and stand up for the wealthy like the wealthy actually give two flying fucks about them. Ceo, "I make nearly $3000/hr and stock boy makes $14/hr, it's fair it's less than 1% of what I make."

Grocery stores, which didn't close during covid for obvious reasons, still upped prices 4% in 2020. They plan another 2-6% in 2021. Pay the workers as much as you like, they corps WILL make what they always make and more. They will not take a loss and that's what paying more does. The rich don't take losses, the poor do.

They've(not grocery stores persay) written articles/had talks trying to figure out how to get all the money out of people's bank accts that they've saved up during covid. Legit vampires.

Correct me if I'm wrong but grocery stores had fairly significant issues on the supply side during covid. If you couple that with the obvious increase in demand, of course they're going to raise prices. Thats just simple supply and demand economics. Most grocery stores dont run profit margins for anybody to become massively wealthy.

Its gonna become similar with labor. Eventually prices gonna be passed on to the consumer if workers want dramatic pay increases to produce. There's nothing wrong with that...consumers (us) had it too good in most areas of commerce before the pandemic (the insane cost of housing was the biggest issue).

Unemployment and eviction moratoriums probably need to end. You dont get a true picture of the economy when the federal govt gets to print money or arbitrarily pass the buck.

Listen pal, it's a fucking problem when people are paying $5 for a loaf of goddammit bread.
 
Every store I go in they are hiring

I decided to eat dominoes in my city like last week (I know)

the food shoulda been ready for pickup like in 25 mins

after a half hr the pizza wasn’t even in the oven yet and I called to ask if that was accurate (btw it took 5 mins of hold time to get someone and as soon as you call the automated system asks if you want to work there) the guy told me yeah because there was a large order before or something

after I get off the phone every review for the location was horrible saying it’s understaffed, the ppl were rude, there’s no delivery Driver before 2pm and there’s only one so it takes like an hr to deliver pizza, etc

so when I go in there to pick up the pizza there’s only one guy in there putting toppings on a pizza while the phone rings, and I had to wait for him to be done so he could give me my food.

so I swear it was only him working there that day.

since I don’t work no more a part of me wanted to apply to become manager just to build the store back up in the town to get better reviews and make it decent. Not for the money but just for the challenge

soooooo I say all of that to say it’s bad out here but honestly ppl making more money through the internet and remote work and they realize it’s not worth it.

Meh

I switched my career and finally reached one of my longtime goals of being a Network Administrator

I'm a salaried employee and I work Sunday through Wednesday for twelve hours and then the next week I work Sunday through Tuesday for twelve hours....working a job you like for twelve hours with all of these days off is GOAT!!!!

Technically, I only work half of the year and that goes along with 30 days of paid vacation that I might not even use...
 
I go to Dunkin’ Donuts and see a stack of applications on a table and a hiring sign

I go to the dollar store and it’s the same thing

they losing so much money and it’s gonna get to a point where the store itself can’t afford to stay open for much longer

if people want to take a stand.........this along with stopping illegals from coming can do it.....otherwise, its a cheaper labor force out there.

this country (as its committed to its trajectory and structure) needs illegal immigrants

the average laborer wouldn't be able to afford many groceries without em...then the fact that rural white America is literally dying away...jus think of all these revenue and tax dead zones all throughout the country and the implications
of that in the next decade let along decades from now... i can keep goin n going n goin



this illegal immigrant shit aint stopping cause it cant stop...all the political talk is grandstanding....
