There’s a shortage of cheap labor. Lower your standard to slavery and suddenly there’s all the jobs in the world!
They want cheap workers, not more.
Actually what they want to do is go to the government and cry “we can’t find work, please give us subsidies”
It’s why they come up with literally impossible job requirements like the “need 8 years job experience” for an entry level job.
PhD required
15 years experiance for task that only existed for 2
Able to work with no direction
Able to work under extreme stress
Hours are 6am-7pm, 7 days a week
Pay range is $8-$9 an hour, upper range only availible if you extremely exceed above requirements.
Position is salaried, so no OT.
I’m fairly certain that those kinds of positions are “offered” on the expectation that they won’t be filled so they can fill them with cheap foreign labor.
The struggle is real
Try that in a small town… no really try it… you may be able to work at McDonald’s if you know the right people.
God I love being a janitor
I feel like job boards should phase out companies that have a record of posting jobs they’re not actually hiring for because “HR says we have to before we can hire from within.”
Why is that even a policy to begin with‽ Hiring from within first instead of making a song and dance about “trying to” hire from without just feels like companies being allergic to internal promotion out of abject terror that an official new title will have to come with a raise or some other benefits that are still cheaper than getting some whole new worker.
It’s based on a really bad/incorrect interpretation of equal opportunity employment law. Once upon a time I work for a company where if they wanted to promote you, they would post the job internally and externally. Then, a VP would pull you into a room and say something like “You should really think about applying for this position. Do you understand what I’m telling you? You should really really think really hard about applying for this job.”
If you applied for it, they would conduct a series of [sham] interviews and then just hire the person they intended to promote to begin with. If you didn’t apply, you would be deemed “ungrateful” and forced out. Oddly enough, they had a similar practice for company vehicles. If they wanted you to have a company vehicle, which just meant they could monopolize more of your free time, they would bring you a set of keys like, “This is your now. Drive it.” It was never a request. More of a directive. And you couldn’t say no or there would be consequences.
Pretty much exactly the kind of place that would feel the need to pretend to follow federal employment law and generate lots of paperwork demonstrating how thoroughly they’re pretending to follow it.
Definitely a question worth an interrobang. I never understood the “we need to pretend follow the law so we can break it” policy
HR is a scourge upon this cursed earth.
Nice punctuation.

Anyone who genuinely went into programming to make a living after laughing at factory workers for no longer being able to make a living deserves everything that happened to them after what happened to the factory workers literally happened to them as soon as they got in.
“But nobody I know is like that” You wouldn’t believe how many smug ass libertarians were acting like they were going to get a high-paying job unlike those stupid wagies who wasted their life going down a career path that went overseas, assuming it would never happen to them.
There is a labor shortage for unskilled labor (I hate that term). They want cheap labor, and those folks are not destroying their bodies for minimum wage. Good for them.
Businesses have a solution to such a shortage. I think it has to do with paying people more? Idk, been a while since I’ve seen anything like that.
They have begun to pay them more, but front-line management has an expectation that they need to produce more than what they were being paid for. Wages are stagnant for a decade and finally get a cost of living adjustment, but they want to work them like dogs.
Yeah. It’s all behind on the wage side but the business side isn’t seeing it that way. They think they’re owed something extra for the increase, while in reality they have failed to keep pace and should expect less and less because of that (including a labor shortage).
It’s almost like you read my comment.
“Nobody wants to wo-” Nobody wants to hire.
If we can’t enslave you what’s the point of hiring?/s
(sorry, I know it’s not really relevant, but with your title, I couldn’t help it lol)

There has never been a labour shortage. There has always been a compensation shortage.
