Feels similar to how every company seems to want senior developer talent, but few will pay for training new senior talent.
In my previous job, a lonnnnnnnnnnnnng list of items were pending, because they didn't have enough people to work on them. The mobile app hadn't been updated in 3 years, not even the bugs were fixed. And still the company was one of the most boring places I've worked, with meeting after meeting after meeting...
How hard can it be to have individual conversations with employees once a quarter or something, pay them decent, and at least try to help them do their jobs better? All of which will result in more revenue for the company, no?
I had a chat with a recruiter who argued that remote workers should be paid less. Shouldn't they be paid more (or at least the same as in-office workers for the same work) because the company is saving money on office space, electricity, internet and even stupid coffee and toilet paper? If the recruiter opens the conversation that remote workers are worth less, then how do they expect the candidates to take them seriously? This is just one example.
I just don't get it. Maybe I am not management material/
It can be very difficult when the management and executive classes tend to self-select for sociopathic traits.
The inflated cost of traveling nurses is used in negotiating new contracts.
Frankly if American workers want better, they need to realize supply and demand applies to labor.
There’s no reason a surgeon should have a Ferrari while the nursing staff that supports them makes $70k year.
It’s highly skilled labor but also, imo, artificially constrained by our educational funding choices.
All of which is politically babysat to be just so according to well paid economists who are trotted out to tell us inequality is normal because that’s how it’s always been.
Americans made kings and robber barons again and just changed the words. Meanwhile petty crime is high treason.
Human society as we know it was set on this path by forever lifers. The end game is the end times. They don’t care if anyone survives, no one will be around to complain.
Drop the worker euphemisms and call everyone people. This arbitrary taxonomy to satisfy political sorting is inhuman.
Hospitals are often run inefficiently [1]. This leads to a lot of overhead costs. Many procedures in hospitals loose money for hospitals while others make money. Taking care of COVID patients typically looses a hospital money. So, where does the money come from to pay nurses more when much of their work is on patients they loose money on?
