During a meeting, my employer thanked us for “weathering the storm and surviving through the UK hospitality staffing pandemic”

It actually makes me livid when I hear employers who live in a beautiful home, own two vehicles, frequently take trips to exotic countries and wear a different suit to work everyday complain about how they can't find staff to work their shitty establishment. Maybe people are sick of being exploited for minimum wage, sick of staying later than they wanted, sick of having holidays denied several months in advance and sick of the bullshit that they have to put up within a hospitality job.
