You're so wrong on so many level. First of all you're not thinking at all from his perspective. The fact that he complains low profitability refers that firm isn't doing great, while lot of vacation seems to implication that he is under lot of stress and has hard time managing it. How many people work in that company? Hundred? Thousand? Even small increase for everyone will actually pile up easily the cost in an year over millions. You should be angry to democrats instead for making policies that increased cost of living instead of complaining that your employer won't increase the pay when he is barely even hanging there in the first place. This is classical example of the common perception of The Dunning Kruger Effect. You think that something is not a big deal while you fail to understand the bigger picture due to your lack of expertise and experience.

@CPSPD And how much you expect your now unemployed workers to earn? I doubt they earn "living wage" as unemployed. Reminder... These weren't failures of the company but failure of government policies that increased the inflation and ruined the whole economy.

@ferndog1461 You got some things in wrong. People generally hate outsourced IT. Usually due to how incompetent they are. Some managers just hire from overseas because it becomes cheaper for them, but actually costs more in long term due to damage they do to their business. Not only that but IT folk generally are actually above average IQ. Including ones who do service desk. However as a field it's place where highly ambitious and talented people can easily rise up without having computer science as majors.

@exemida Are you high or something? There is no such thing as loyalty to the company. You're just nothing but a mercenary to sell yourself for highest bidder. Only thing related to honor is that you follow the contract that you made with the company. If you don't have this attitude then you can only blame yourself earning the minimum wage. Do the work you're asked and do it well, if they don't pay you enough then seek for another job in the mean time while keeping your relations with you client and boss positive. After getting new job ask for recommendations. Works always. There is no need for such thing as "loyalty" to the boss or company. They don't pay you for it, they pay you for the work itself you do there. You mix up loyalty with working hard.

@exemida 2 weeks notice is pretty standard in my country. But good for you for moving on the greener pasture. :)

Lol... miserable and passive life? That can only be said by teenager who has no clue about the world.

@PBottomPoochies Nah I won't trust you since I actually read economic and have studied management, plus have several friends in high places so I think I know better than you. "the warning shot across the bow that my employer is gearing up to retire." Probably will and if you're talking him as the owner of the place then most likely you and everyone else will lose their jobs. Since it seems that it's barely profitable at all. Aka not worth the time and effort to invest in.

@drex5160 Lol... I'm literally part of upper-middle class and have seen ups and downs in my life. Right now my life is most likely better than 80% of you guys have. I'm fit, have a high earning job, look good, can sing and dance, and have no issues with ladies... So yeah "pathetic life". how about you address my arguments instead of throwing meaningless insults?
3
Well the worker didn't got for higher pay but instead became welfare king/queen. Ever considered that they can't pay more?
3
@exemida You do realize that better paying jobs won't replace the previously fallen one? "You act like no ones gonna hire em " If someone would hire them, then they would've applies for new job while working at the previous place instead of waiting for it to collapse. " 3 people every day because the bosses that be ignore them and constantly harrassed me" Good example of lack of intelligence. Harassment is illegal, all you need to do is record them in action and talk with boss then sue them for non-action and be rich. Also if you really think you were keeping the business a float then you would have grabbed them by the balls and ask salary increase with implication that you will find another place to work if it's the case. All of this just shows me that you really have no clue how to defend yourself even in the most obvious cases. When you know that you're keeping business afloat or that you're irreplaceable, you will negotiate better salaries. When you know that there is harassment then you gather evidence and sue them. Instead you are being passive and hope that eventually salary will increase or they will stop bullying you.
3
@exemida Ah seems like you learned the lesson. I falsely assumed that you were still working there and being all passive. The way I see it is that you did let people walk over you and they saw that weakness in you. Well my parents didn't really raise me, I just learned to stick up to myself.

@boggeshzahim3713 On what reasoning they shouldn't?

@chrisgelin515 Says guy who literally responds to every message I have put on every chain here. You're the troll. You claimed that there is no work and can't get hired and now you're literally contradicting yourself in very same comment. That is pretty low IQ.
2
@leon4000 lol I don't mind people being immature in such manner. I have been part of the internet long enough and have healthy self-esteem so couldn't care less about their insults. Just find it funny that they resort to such things. While I'm perfectly aware how to succeed in life since I have already been doing so.
2
@Jack1994hoo Well that is a poor logic. Especially when the inflation has ruined the value of their salary. Inflation caused by the very left wing government that you love. Also your childish logic fails to understand the bigger picture. Sure okay, they are no longer in business, then what? What about those workers now have? Now they have even less than before and became burden to the state. Less tax revenue will also appear now. This is why everyone thinks left wing as a joke. They lack foresight.

It's an American thing. In nordic countries with strong welfare system people are culturally inclined to be hard workers and shamed for taking social security. In USA most people are not hardworking people and would rather be lazy in their homes doing nothing. So the moment democrats started to give free money to the people, is the same time Americans stopped working. They lack natural backboned that hardened Nordic people have. Welfare systems exists around the globe and only nordics have made it somewhat "work". This is only due to our innate nature. It doesn't work within culture settings where parasitism isn't scorned.

@chrisgelin515 Stop lying. Workhours have nothing to do with work ethics. The fact that you go to work vs not going to work has nothing to do with how long you need to work. Neither does the fact are you paid by hour or by month. "my coworkers show up at 10am and leave at 3:30pm" depends on industry, thus proving that you're a liar. "And we have this exact same problem just like in America." statistics disagree. "because I couldn’t function as a full-stack developer" Thus proving once again that you're a liar. Coders don't really need bachelors degree to get hired. all they need is to show their work or experience they have in the field. There is literally a shortage of programmers going on in nordic countries. If you can't get job as programmer then you're just incompetent. "And the dude in his 50’s who interviewed me admitted he couldn’t do basic Excel formulas." programmers don't need to.
1
@chrisgelin515 Name a full-stack developer who isn't a programmer. "Nordic countries aren’t a monolith. " True but they have lot of common with each others. All of them have shortage with programmers. "xenophobic policies and the worker shortage is caused just as much by skilled workers not being able to get or renew work visas." You don't even know what those words means and looking at your youtube subscription you're a political fanatic from the far left. Depending on jobs certain qualifications are necessary. If you're dealing with natives then knowing native language is vital in lot of different fields. So automatically you're disadvantage from qualification part in different country with a different language from yours. Lack of experience also is a huge risk for them. For certain titles you need to have experience. Experience and talent matters more than school papers and this comes from experience. And before you start talking about boomers etc... I'm not a boomer. "And what are YOUR qualifications that you know for so sure what you’re talking about?" I literally live in nordic country and I'm part of the generation that claims that they aren't qualified to get a job. I don't have bachelor degree and I'm earning enough to call myself upper-middle class. "Nordic persona to think themselves to have a strong work ethic." That is just them being fake humble, since they all think that nordics in common have strong work ethic. Whetever they about that themselves or not is different from thinking are they as collective like that. "My coworkers would be the first to admit they are lazy." Ever heard of imposter syndrome? Of course not... You're far leftists.. term is too complex for you. Also again, there is difference between someone who works and someone who doesn't. Only foreigners find glory in being on social security. Nordics find it shameful.

No, their value was correct. Those industries wouldn't exists if they paid more. But then again you don't understand economic so you think it's a good thing that we would have more parasites.

@lukebytes5366 How do you know how high the wages have to be? Are you managing a business and reading the reports of sales and expenses? "This could easily be solved if the overpaid ceo's gave a fraction of their money to the rest. " This proves that you're clueless. Ceo is the most vital role of any business and those Ceo's who earn millions generally have thousands of people working under them. I doubt you can do the math and calculate how little one million divided by thousand is. Those Ceo's are getting paid for their talent. Person like you wouldn't be able to manage their jobs and they wouldn't be doing highly stressful job with lot of responsibility unless they were paid for it. Reminder... CEO is also a job.

Ever considered that your application is poorly written?

@chrisgelin515 You're a liar as proven in my comment thread chain. That or highly incompetent. This guy claims to be programmer and that he can't get hired. I literally know several of companies that are desperate to hire programmers and I know tons of programmers who say that it's easy to get a job.

@chrisgelin515 You did

They can't increase wage over what you're worth.

You act like that is a big conspiracy. They literally state this in school that it's done to get used to work schedule. Also you act as if this is something bad... Do you have any idea how many hours humans did put to work before now? 8 hours is nothing.

@haywoodjablome7822 Blacksmiths didn't have their own farms and generally suffered from various diseases related to the substances they dealt with. Most people wouldn't even qualify as blacksmith a the time. Farmers worked pretty much 24/7 and were heavily taxed. "You still got something to show for your work and could support a family." You could do that even now. You do realize that farmers weren't very rich? The support they provided for their families was basically loaf of bread per day.

@leon4000 Of course there are cases where people are abused, but for example in this comment section... I See lot of people who just chose low skilled work place in Mcdonalds and think that they should earn as much as someone who actually studied and practiced some useful skill from the trade school. Personally I went my country's version of a tradeschool and right now I earn more than most of my friends who went to study in universities. Problem is that they didn't study any useful skill which have better demand for talent. They are stuck in dead end jobs because they decided to study some feminist dance lessons instead of actual useful skill.
1
@tomh1727 I chose IT. In it with talent, ambition and experience you can easily grow up in ranks and earn lot of money. Especially since you can learn from online and even get certifications instead of spending years in school learning stuff that you won't actually use in your field. So far in comparison to my peers in IT I have managed to climb up higher than they even though they had more experience. All of that mostly because of my ambitious nature and I do good job.

@PucciNYC but not everyone is equally valuable since not everyone's roles have as much impact. Burger flippers are easy to replace.

@platitudeomenw441 First of all... Why are you trying to go to ivy league college if you can't afford it? Second of all, the price of college has been inflated due to democrat's policies. Third of all... You're low skill worker, you're not suppose to earn as much as someone who studied a trade. " It’s not like multi-billionaires pay less percent tax than they do. " Wth billionares have to do with you being lazy? "It's not like the poorest and most disadvantaged people in society are accruing massive amounts of debt" Literally nothing forces you to take debts expect poor life choices. Also you're lying. I originally came from the slums and I have no debt. Not only that but I earn more than average liberal family. "It’s not like minorities have been historically and empirically disadvantaged because of targeted discrimination" Then explain Hebrews and Asians being wealthier than majority ethnicity? "It’s not like the housing market crashed because of insatiable capitalist greed" IT literally crashed because of government created a bubble with it's policies. Talk about ignorance... "It's not like people get trapped in poverty, or develop addictions and pathologies because they grew up in way" Objectively speaking false. Addiction leads to poverty not the other way around. "t's not like it takes time to learn a skill, or that people need to eat and have shelter while learning." Party less and study more coding simple as that. You don't even need college for that. "t's not like there are systemic barriers which contribute to the exponential growth of inequality. " Name one. "world is ending according to every legitimate scientific institution." It isn't. If you're talking about climate change then there isn't a single scientists who tells that it's an end of the world. "Can't you see that the problem is all these lazy millenials studying feminist dance theory guys? " How do you think you will help company to prosper by studying feminist dance theory? Heck or benefit society at all? There is literally no need for people like that. It's your own fault for studying something that doesn't lead into future employment.
1
@platitudeomenw441 Only one ignorant is you, not to mention you were the one who made gross generalization. Unlike you I actually come from poor working class family and grew up in poverty and rose above it. So I know much better than some college kid about truth of the real world.
1
@platitudeomenw441 Well I'm living proof against your world view so stop being believing into stupid shit.

@ared18t Lol don't respond and they think that you're insecure. Respond and they think you're insecure. This is just your own projection over fragile ego of yours. Some people just say things like they are, nothing to do with insecurity. Also funny.. You literally just proved yourself as hypocrite. You're doing what you blame me doing.

@RETROMANCER'S CURSE Not saying that she is wrong for looking new job. Just saying that she isn't looking situation from the other persons perspective thus keeps mocking him/her. Just because she lacks ability to lead or understand the burden of it. This is very common among left wingers.
1
@RETROMANCER'S CURSE I know the details she told and it revealed more about her own personality than failings of her boss. So more like sort of like you.

@chrisedwards3640 You sounds like someone who wears a tinfoil hat. Why would I make up stories about my life to total strangers? I have literally nothing to gain from it. "No one actually "from the slums" would end up having such an unbelievable ego and egregious lack of understanding of other people's struggles" You kidding me right? I can name immediately one well known guy who was born in slums and has unbelievable ego. Eminem, heck plenty of rappers could be stated as example. The fact that you feel like "lack of understanding over other's struggles" is just bs because we know it really isn't struggle to get out from that situation. All it needs is just stop making excuses for yourself. College kid like yourself never understands what it actually takes to succeed.

@Mercurystars4202 "safe bet if you choose to have progeny- some" I have no clue what that has to do with anything I had said. I never claimed that my progeny would be exactly clone of me. ". They will be somewhere near the bottom. " Maybe and maybe not. Maybe they were somewhere higher. Thing is... It's up to their own talent and motivation will where they are. IF they think like you then they will be at bottom. If they actually understand to have a backbone to work and study something that has demand then they will be at top. My whole point is... These people who cry in this comment section are just throwing excuses and does not understand how economics work.

@Mercurystars4202 Balanced people don't work as burger flippers at their 30's. "Though if they had all gone to trade school instead, the applications would’ve oversaturated the system and there would be many people not hired to a trade job and instead they’d be in some other low wage job. " Objectively false. There are shortage in lot of different trades. Low wage jobs are only for students and teens who want to earn some pocket money. You're not suppose to be there in your 30's. "that there’s not enough investment in employees." And this is where you fail. You don't know what is enough investment. You don't know how much they can even invest. "But at this point we’re probably going to end up voting for the D-party since it’s slightly more pro-worker despite being pro-corporate…" They literally caused this crisis and these problems seems to exists only in states ruled by them. Basically when you vote them, then you are voting more of the same. "he R-party is fully pro-corporate at this point." Stop lying, all the major corporations paid D-party's election. "t’s not just “hard work” but also a lot of other factors that beyond individual control." Stop lying, if you can afford computer and have access to the internet then you have no excuses. You can learn to code in less than 6 months and get a job with that alone. In a field where there is huge demand for workers and it's easy to earn high salary. "Anyways, I mentioned progeny" You still fail to point out how this matters with anything I had said. "Since you mentioned all your Chad qualities despite no one asking" Technically was. That one guy was trying to ad hominem me by saying that reason why I say all these things is because I have terrible life. Which I refuted by actually give objective statements about my current situation at life. And rest of this comments seems to be attempt to insult me. Do you even understand how genetics works? Of course not...

@Dramiken Imaging calling people who study the field that you don't understand as delusional. Also if you worked as burger flipper for a decade that tells more about your lack of talent than me.

@Dramiken Oh sorry, being coffee maker in law firm doesn't qualify you having 100000000000000000 of dollars.

@Mercurystars4202 Nah you're wrong. No one in their 30's should be working in fast food restaurant. It actually just shows how little skills you have to contribute to the society if you're working in industry meant for teenagers. "can work in trades and become middle class." Literally can but they won't. They rather study feminist dance lessons instead. "false, this is just ideology. " Nothing to do with ideology to point out that those jobs demand no skill or knowledge from the worker and that even person with IQ of 80 can do it. "A lot of people are needed to do menial labor and "the kids" won't cut it. " Name one job with minimum wage in USA that kids wouldn't be able to do. "You don't know what is enough investment. You don't know how much they can even invest. " That is literally what I have said to you guys. "You stop lying, the R-party is also funded by corporations." Also is not same as mostly. It's objective fact that all the biggest monopolies on the planet were backing up D party. Facebook, google, all media giants except fox news. Having world's biggest corporations and most evil ones in fact backing you up tells a lot about D party as a "party of the people". "if everyone did that, and everyone is doing that, not everyone can get a job with that alone b/c there’s a limit to supply and demand." Supply and demand is something you don't even understand. There is huge demand for those sort of works, not only that but knowing programming actually allows you to work independently as well and make your own product. What you're saying is nothing but excuses. You're acting as if there are more unemployed people in the country that companies willing to hire them. That's not true. There are just people who aren't willing to study useful trade. "Do you understand Mr. Chad? Children aren’t copies of their parents. " They aren't but they copy half of their genes. Thus as long as you choose your partner correct there won't be any issues. It seems to me that you don't understand genetic heritage thus you don't even know how natural selection functions. "the whole point is that it’s better for people to get along and not treat each other like trash, " You're not treated like a trash just because you're not earning 10000dollars per hour. Were talking about wages here, not about treatment. "then just say so, small business owners have valid concerns. " tons of business have said so already, but literally none of you guys care. All you care is your selfish desire to earn more than you're worth. Your politics literally cause wide spread unemployment, inflation and poverty. "but so are systemic solutions," Never works. Too easy... Far lefties such as yourself never provide decent challenge. It's like dealing with creationist.
