@video_manager @jeffowski [Edited to correct autocorrect.] @jeffowski everytime my eyes see "labor shortage" my brain read "slave shortage".There's never vacant jobs a companies paying normal wages. @jeffowski Indeed. I'm expensive. But my spouse works a lot harder than me: does all the work around the house when I'm out working for others, takes care of the shopping, the cleaning, deals with the kids' schools, entertains and teaches the kids when they're home, and on top of that also looks for missing people and identifies the unidentified. I get undervalued, sure. My spouse makes no money at all: gets valued only in praise. Homemakers are worth more than I make a year. @jeffowski @jeffowski On that note we need to have a frank conversation in this country about the price of potato chips. @jeffowski same again with skills shortages, but they're withholding the chance for people to gain the level of skills and experience required. @jeffowski i like this analogy but also i think you should get your chips anyway |

If your business can't make a profit paying a living wage then you are profiting from your employees not your business.
You wouldn't brag your business is profitable because you steal from your suppliers - so why brag when you make a profit stealing from your employees.
