Around here it’s:
“Our rural business is offering minimum wage to pick fruit while it’s in season. Why won’t any unemployed people move out here for a few months work? Lazy bludgers”
Not me making 2.13/hr
Have any of you tried to run a business and hire people? It’s extremely hard to make a business profitable. Small business owners (which are the majority of business owners) don’t have infinite money to give their employees.
Yes, I have. And yes, labor is expensive. Running a small business is hard, and not always profitable. You should do it if you are passionate about the work, and can do it better than the big corporations. If you depend on cheap labor for survival, you’re going to fail, and you should fail. Your larger competitors can afford to operate on smaller margins by doing larger volume. Beating them on price and margin is a losing battle every time. Exploiting desperate employees is not a business model, it’s just opportunism.
3.6%. Are numbers a fucking joke to you people. It’s clear most of you have never been in a management or business ownership role.
