The boomer above me at work can’t understand why we can’t find new staff, to which I always reply, “we don’t pay enough, so they can get a better deal somewhere else easily”

She always replies, “well, we don’t want to find people who are only in it for the money”

This shit makes me want to pull my fucking hair out. THATS THE WHOLE OSTENSIBLE POINT OF THIS GODDAMN SYSTEM YOU FORCED US ALL IN! That’s the “freedom of choice” shit they’re always banging on about. Ofc it only ever fucking applies to the bosses of course, us grunts are supposed to eat shit with a smile.
