-We offer a competitive salary.
-Places X, Y and Z offer much more.
-We don’t compete with them.
Stupidly enough - not satire. I’ve had this conversation with three different companies. They struggle to attract talent for some weird reason.
We don’t compete with them
“Yes you do, and you’re losing.” Then walk out.
One of them was my current employer when I was arguing about not managing to keep people on my team.
And I said exactly that, except didn’t walk out naturally. In another frustrated discussion I almost yelled “You can’t CHOOSE not to compete with them!”
Middle class wages, adjusted, start at $83.17/hr. If you’re making less than that and call yourself middle class you’re only fooling yourself. There’s a reason you’re not told what that line is.
The “middle class” is a myth man.
Agreed, as are generational lines like millennial or zoomer. But it’s still used for now.
They exist but are used out of context.
Generation changes are when birth rates show a shift in increasing or decreasing. Usually this is in line with the national economy. Because of globalisation, we tend to see large groups of nations have birth rates shift within several years of each other as their economies are quite intertwined and do the same things. And that’s also why people always argue about what year a new generation started. It is different for each country.
Outside of (mostly) economical context, they have little purpose in discussion. And even then, they’re more used to refer to an era of economical positive or negative in households, which was reflected in birth rates.
90% of the time people use them in everyday conversation, it’s “old” and “new”, which can be easily said without mention of generations since that’s how society has always been as time goes on.
Based on a date you don’t tell us
Did you miss the whole first sentence somehow?
You know, it always makes me laugh when I see restaurant owners or similar bosses try to say they can’t find people because nobody wants to work.
Damn bro, nobody wants to work as hard as a concrete guy for minimum wage.
There’s also a trap I think people get stuck in about earning more. It doesn’t make the job any less shit. If I had to choose, I’d take conditions and culture over pay any day. I’m at a point in life where I earn a good living. But last year I turned down a higher paying job because I didn’t want to deal with the shit I knew was going to be involved. $30K more a year and I definitely could do with that, but none of that means anything when you’ve hit the third month and you’re miserable and anxious and know this is what you’re in for now, everyday
