Local Business Owner Shares This Tantrum Online In Response To Someone Searching For A Job On FB
Americans are quitting their jobs in record numbers, and experts say the Great Resignation is likely to continue well into 2022.
Mix that with the fact that businesses have been reporting difficulty filling their openings and you get quite a spicy picture.
In fact, workers have so much leverage in the current job market, they’re ghosting employers.
But not everyone gets the message. As a recent viral post on the legendary subreddit r/AntiWork shows, some business owners are still thinking of themselves as monarchs whose peasants don’t even deserve a living wage.

Recently, someone made a seemingly simple post in a Facebook job search group

But it triggered one local business owner who thinks not every worker deserves a living wage

According to the Labor Department’s latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover report, there were 11 million job openings while hiring remained steady, and quitting cooled slightly in October.
But despite the small drop in quits, turnover remains historically high as 4.2 million people quit their job in October, down from a record-high 4.4 million people, or 3% of workers, who quit in September.
But the lady who made the post will probably want to reconsider her work philosophy.
Julia Pollak, chief economist with the job-search site ZipRecruiter, said that as workers move around, forecasters predict additional jobs will continue to open up in the new year, giving job-switchers even more opportunities to choose from.
“We’ve seen substantial job growth in recent months, all taking place without the labor force participation rate changing,” Pollak told CNBC, adding it’s “an exciting moment for job seekers who are benefiting from employers offering hiring incentives and reducing their requirements” to fill a sharply rising number of vacancies.
Meanwhile, the U.S. labor market added 531,000 new jobs in October led by roles in leisure and hospitality; professional and business services; manufacturing; and transportation and warehousing. After what economists considered a disappointing summer for job creation, the Bureau of Labor Statistics recently reported it underestimated job growth between June through September by a cumulative 626,000 jobs.
People thought her rant was absolutely ridiculous

When a person running a scented candles shop thinks that it's their right to pay their employees as little as possible but at the same time wonders why it's so hard to get any employees. Lunacy comes in many forms and shapes.

I agree with a lot of what he says in regards to want a wage increase you earn it, with one small exception. The starting base wage should be livable and as you progress your career you wage increases. But pay a livable wage to start with. Also if people have more money they spend more which improves the economy and business.

Yep. Minimum wage should be a living wage. This whole argument that 'but minimum wage is for students who don't need to survive on it!!' is total BS when most of the people earning minimum wage aren't students. It's an argument that doesn't hold water. Like 'trickle down economics'.

If your business can't succeed unless you underpay your employees, then your business should fail. You're not entitled to own your own business at the expense of others.

How do these people not understand that human beings have to eat stay warm in a house rest and exist? It takes money to literally exist in this world. If you think people at any job don't deserve enough money to exist. What you're really saying is you want them starving homeless and to pretty much just disappear I guess. It's sad that so many people think other human beings don't deserve money to literally eat and live. How can anyone be so evil and inhumane? It's wrong and I'm sick of people openly saying they want other people to suffer and go without what they need to exist and carry on day to day, week to week, month to month, or year to year. Just evil evil people.

Because business owners and managers think we're all mindless robots. And they're still under the impression that were easily replaceable. And I'm just over here laughing my ass off. Lol

This is why we should tax the rich. You got independent owners who can't compete against huge corporations then they take all that resentment and anger and direct it towards employees who can't pay their bills with the salary being paid to them. Only one group in America is happy, only one group is benefiting, and only one group doesn't get dragged through the mud in these debates and that is the top 1%. That top 1% and even the top 10% are pitting us against one another and none of us are benefiting from any of it.

A living wage isn't about the value of the work being done, it's about the value of the human being who is doing the work.
