Barely. The way costs and taxes are rising, the average person needs at least 20 an hour to pay bills, share rent, buy gas, and eat. There wont be enough left over for anything else.It's not about work value at all, it's about cost of living...

Seems as though the dollar has a place in this as well as fake covid nonsense.

Cannot say I am sorry to see all these poison peddlers fold. Of course they are big multinationals - they will get bailed out. Mom and pop shop...not so much.

All the businesses in my area, even Walmart are having rolling closures due to staff not coming to work or not being able to find employees.

Some of the restaurants are having to close on the weekends because they dont have workers.

I have never seen this before. And, it isnt like it is something that gradually started to happen. It started happening all at once.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 73888412


Same

Everything closes at 8 now

Or not open at all

No staff

wtf
 Quoting: LastAmericanOutlaw


Yep, you two. I have been hearing and sometimes seeing similar and the same in my North Texas town as well. This has been going on increasingly more often in the Year 2021. During the Year 2020 this did happen time to time. This rarely ever happened in any year prior to the Year 2020. This used to happen whenever Flu Season got real bad in years prior. It is mighty tragic what is happening these days.

Last I knew the entire $15 an hour thing will break a whole lot of small businesses. They will not be able to hire enough people to do the jobs that need to be filled and done. Hours get to be halved at the very least. With fewer people working at any given time the workload for any remaining employees become one heck alot more difficult. With a much more difficult workload for an already difficult Service job there is no real incentive to bust your butt for a few dollars an hour. It is much easier to get a UBI stream and do what you want from then onwards.

I am technically retired, but I would love a part time job. But if I have to mask up I am not working. I can't see or breathe wearing a mask. I wonder how many others are in this same position.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80290938

I feel so sorry for people that are forced to wear a mask all day long.

Fucking miserable.

I just thought of something. There is no defined thinness of material for masks,only that they are required in some places. What if the mask is say... silk, or sheer cotton or fishnet? Would this be an acceptable form of protest?

Medsurg floors are loaded with acute medical patients and critical care and psyche patients do to bed issues. These people require one to one care and monitoring and it is major task overload just trying to stay on top of everything and all the critical jobs you have to do for one of them. Four patients to one nurse is an impossible shitshow these days.

Once you get to more than 4 patients per nurse the mortality rates shoot up no matter how fast moving, hardworking, and multi-tasking the nurse is. And the nurse always gets the blame for stuff she cannot control or if someone dies because she cannot be 10 places at once. The hospital just cut costs and got us up to 8 patients per nurse and took all of our orderlies and support staff away.
In 1839 20-year-old George Sumner sailed from the US to Russia, as supercargo on freighter.He carried with him an acorn,taken from the grave of Washington.He talked his way into the presence of Czar Nicholas I and presented the Acorn as a gift from America. The Czar was charmed. The story....

This is funny. I haven't seen this here yet but I applied EVERYWHERE this fall and NO BUSINESS would call me but one wendys and they didn't hire me. Wow.

I posted about it saying I think the job listings were fake. There were other similar reports here.

I still think this is all fake economy killing.

Also funny they are closing during the times that were "senior hour" or "disinfectant hour" last year. So they have this built into their budget already.

It's been building up to this... maybe a living wage doesn't sound so bad to you guys anymore?

The whole minimum wage sector has burn out. If you don't force the people to pay a living wage... this is what happens.

Tierd of see good people working 2 - 3 jobs to pay for the same nessecities... as the rest of the world... I see them.

I know most of GLP was against the living wage, due to the egoic competitive nature of the insecurity they feel inside... but maybe people will start realizing... $15/hr would get a lot of these people back up on their OWN feet instead of unemployment.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80264879


You don't pay a living wage to a group of people who have limited skills. These types of jobs have always been for high school, college or retirees..not to support a family or even an individual, but to supplement. The reason people are not working is because xiden is paying them not to work.

Come on now, do you honestly believe a $15 dollar wage will do anything for the unskilled worker? It will only ensure that businesses raise their prices which will come around to bit the butt of the low income earner, anyway.
