Retail workers are quitting at record rates for higher-paying work: ‘My life isn’t worth a dead-end

[Godless Socialist CEO]

They should. Yes people need to work, but people also need to pay bills and take care of their families. Now if these workers were on Section 8 and WIC, you know which group of people would be bytching about being a government leach. Pay people enough to pay the basics. Beyond that, they either need to up their education, or find a second job. I'm not against having a second or third job. One of them should be able to cover the basics though.

No one should have to work 2 jobs into order to be able to feed themselves or have housing

 

[Godless Socialist CEO]

Capitalism, despite its many benefits, has increasingly pushed for greater returns at the expense of the working class.

Pay them more.

Capitalism requires suffering in order to benefit those at the top domestically and abroad. There cannot be capitalism without someone suffering, due to that alone capitalism should be abolished on a global scale.

There's a reason the statement "There is no ethical consumption under capitalism" is said all the time, because it's true.

ain't it funny how people shyt on 9-5, get out and get it, live life to the fullest, motivational types ain't applauding folks in the service industry for this?

 

[old pig]

Good...I said this in another thread but life isn't about work work work until your dead..its stupid

Sadly a lot of us haves been brainwashed into thinking that life should be this way

word this is a GREAT thing…about damn time actually!

 

[levitate]

yup. UNCHECKED capitalism is where things fall apart

“Our net earnings for the quarter will be $1.1 billion vs the projected $1.2 billion. So let’s fire a bunch of our employees and cut the hours and wages on the rest “

Those people are transparent as fukk. They need their wage slaves, who's going to serve them their Starbucks coffee, or work in the restaurants, or fast food joins, or hotels etc. Those people are dikksucking losers

"We'll also be increasing our CEO's pay from 15 Million to 50 million for the wonderful job he did this quarter. Our executives will also receive increases across the board on their pay as well"

Capitalism is a scam to keep rich people rich, and always has been one.

we all get that moment to chose if we want the red or blue pill.

disconnect from the matrix or carry on with it.

but the pandemic made is real. people realized they could have died having lived up to that point and they want more in life now... i foresee a future wave of people rejecting broad capitalism all together and opting for simplified lifestyles.

 

[SleezyBigSlim]

This wave has been hitting retail, hotel, restaurants, fastfood, and i'm loving it (pun intended)
As long as people refuse to take these low paying dead end jobs, the market will be forced to correct.


If I had a teenage son/daughter, they will not work in retail or fast food. For what? fukk all that

Where else do you expect your teen to work then? You sound stupid, kids should be working those jobs that's who their for. Adults working those jobs are failures.

 

[Elim Garak]

Damn. This is what it took for them to realize they were working dead end jobs?

No they likely have the financial means now where they aren't forced to work the jobs and can seek other opportunities.

 

[Truefan31]

Need to organize and unionize. Work together for better wages/better benefits. Make corporations be contractually obligated to take care of their employees

 

[Sad Bunny]

No they likely have the financial means now where they aren't forced to work the jobs and can seek other opportunities.

Truth. God bless them

 

[pickles]

Good for them.

I used to work retail a long time ago, it was horrible, can't even imagine how it is now.

People are feral now, it is not worth it to deal with the public. Plus the danger of someone coming shooting up the place.

 

[UberEatsDriver]

Where are they going to higher paying work?

we need modified captialism at least to minimize the suffering
use that excess wealth collectively from the excessively wealthy to better the world
you reach a certain level most people don't reach meaning absurd wealth why not shave off a piece?
those psychopaths and sociopaths on top like
they have zero care for how much excess wealth they make it is all for ego since they don't have real emotions to live on ego is all they have left
capitalism is about get a lot worse
We're going to have psychopath trillionaires walking around with their lack of remorse or empathy while there will be people whose entire existence was starving to death
