Your posts are confusing.

Let's recap a bit:

- You posted about "victim mentality." It seemed you were including my posts in that. Were you?

- Then you mentioned employees who are "languishing in bad jobs and not working to advance." Again, how is this related to my position?

I'd say it plays a very large part, but I feel there's also a factor of employer greed and only thinking about their bottom line. I've worked a lot of jobs, I've seen a lot of different types of employees. Are some of them lazy? Yeah, of course. But these employers who sit on their high thrones all seem to be the same, and some of them have been younger than me. I think it's a power issue, plain and simple, and unless they're profiting, everyone else is lazy.

How dare someone go into business to make a profit?!

********!!

Don’t like the job? Quit to find a better one instead of complaining.
Because the economy in many places is just saturated with jobs. Specifically jobs that offer a better working condition or better pay. As well, are you one of those employers who ghost their applicants, or one of the ones who take two to three weeks to reply for an interview?

I doubt that most who feel over-worked actually are.
I doubt you genuinely know what employees go through daily.

Posting from a phone is too tedious.
Need break from unproductive bickering.
Sheesh, talk about lazy!

Well when you're back I expect a higher output of this product that you've created. And if you want to advance in this job I expect you to maintain a position of the top 20% in the site for three months consecutively. This will include a high rate of posting during Productive Hours, collecting an expected average of replies, as well as maintaining a consistently positive User Review from the people you're interacting with. You will be paid base pay. Do all this, and you might be selected along with eleven other people to attend a seminar that might assist you in future leadership opportunities.

When your profits come at the expense of those who made it for you, yes. How absolutely dare you.

Supply chain increases push pizza pricing up to $30 range | wgrz.com

No way am I buying a average size pizza for 30 dollars.

I remember as a teen, a whole entire pizza with a coke as well, only set me back $3.50.

I can just imagine the cost in the next decade.

Anyone else seeing this?

They are of course, still blaming supply chain issues. Convenient. I don't believe that.

The first time I went to a bar, a draft beer was 20 cents. A pack of Wrigley's gum was 6 cents. It had 5 sticks. Then they raised it to 10 cents for 8 sticks. What an uproar that caused on the streets of mainstreet America!

I had one of my grandsons with me the other day and we stopped at a little cafe to grab a bite to eat. Two cheese burgers with two fries and one coke(I drank water) was $27.76 not including tip.
This was a small town of around 3000 population .
Damn. A cafe will surely have higher quality burgers than fast food joints. There's a gormet burger restaraunt locally call BRGR, and the least expensive burger is $11. It was good, but damn.

I don't eat burgers at fast food, or anywhere but home or picnics, but a few years ago I was on a job and there were only two options near by, Subway and Sonic. So I went to Subway on day 1 and thought I'd try Sonic on day 2. Holy crap, it was like $5 for the least expensive burger. And when I got it it was pretty disappointing. Yet these burger places get a lot of customers, and for what value? I have to wonder if the high price is due in part to so much competition. There are how many burger companies, I'm thinking of 7 off the top of my head. Are any better than the other?

I can see going to fast food if you are very hungry and need something fast, but as a destination? OMG.

Don’t like the job?
Then quit.
But don’t expect an employer to give a raise to motivate an unmotivated worker.

That is a surprisingly difficult point to convey.


Pay peanuts, get monkeys. It's surprising how many employers struggle with this simple point.

To be fair, the US is also one of the worst countries for workers' rights in the developed world, if not the worst. I think it's probably not so much that some employers struggle with the point as it is that they simply don't care unless a law requires them to.

Nonetheless, you'd expect enlightened employers to recognise their employees as an asset worth investing in.

Think it’s as simple as blaming employers for the pay level?
I never knew how good I had it as an employee until I became an employer. People who’ve never been both aren’t likely to grok things.

I quoted a post that I'm looking forward to read your response to, whenever you're ready to post again.

It's not, but it's also not as simple as blaming employees.

See how problematic overgeneralizations are?
I do blame employees who want more money, but won’t do what it takes to advance. That is a choice.
If I had a bad employer, I’d find a better job…not blame the employer.

If that is too much then people should stop buying them, and the price will go down.
