On my way to work/school this morning and I’m jamming to my Spotify playlist. As I pull up and park an ad comes on for challenger school. Some sort of private education academy. “These are our second graders. They’re reading charlottes web. Here’s a part of their discussion on the book.’ ‘What’s the difference between Wilbur and charlotte?’ ‘Charlottes a hard worker and Wilbur’s kinda lazy. I’d rather have a hard working friend then someone who wants to have things handed to them” I died. They’re indoctrinating these babies so young. Most 2nd graders are between 7-9 (at oldest) years old.

Basically this comes down to improving the wages of everyone in your field. My company uses feedback from our internal and external recruiters to influence the starting salary for postings. The goal is to be competitive with other companies in the area but they arent exactly cold calling them for the information. We recently had to increase the amount twice for the same posting because of this feedback. So now when I get calls / emails from recruiters, I immediately ask for salary information, which has been provided more readily recently, and say thats not even remotely close to what I am making now. ️ middle management
