How do we hire younger employees?
I (29m) was called in HR, they said they wanted to ask me some questions. They told me they're having trouble both hiring people under 30, and if they do hire them, they leave before 1 year. This was one of my favorite meetings I've ever had. Constantly just reiterating that the younger generations have higher costs and lower wages than when the “leadership team” was our age. I don't understand what there isn't to understand on their part. People don't work at your company because they find a better opportunity. At the end of this meeting I basically laid it out that they need to either reduce hours while keeping the same annual earnings, or just pay more. I floated the 4 day work week and a 5 day 6 hour work week. Ultimately, I think they'll just ignore everything anyone says, and continue to say they don't understand…
Work as a choice makes perfect sense… a system or society where basic needs are covered by guaranteed min. income. We all know, and it can be proven, that most people LOVE working. We're not anti-work, we're anti meaningless, dehumanizing, non-livable wage work. How is the idea of work as a choice so despised and demonized? It would make society healthier.
It’s scary in America
If you start a business it’s really dangerous if you threaten the other big businesses’ success and profits. You could get targeted by the IRS and sued and be subject to corrupt politicians changing laws to hurt you. They want you working 8hr/5days a week and exhausted during your free time. No competition allowed. A lot of lawsuits prove this. It’s a disgusting place. You can get jail JUST because of corruption. Don’t go against the grain. Don’t do anything actually helpful. Only work.
