Most employers expect loyalty, but offer none in return.

It's not a lack of employee problem, it's a lack of respect and pay problem.

More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.

I've worked in retail for 20 years, so I'm quite happy that this is taking place. For too long, retail bullied me and a lot of my employees, telling us things like, "If you don't like it, go; another like you is waiting to get into your position." Since the virus, I've found a dream job that helps me grow, pays me more, and values me!

I've worked in the food industry since I was 16, I am 30 now. I've never been offered a management position or any other kind of supervisory role so I opened my own restaurant in 2020. I got tired of being overlooked so I took my fellow co-workers and gave them a job at my restaurant with great pay, great benefits and I really did for them what my former jobs refused to do which is giving them "respect". So far I've had not one employee leave my business.

They missed one of the biggest pieces of this entire issue. Toxic work place behaviour/environments. People are being fed up with being treated like garbage by their employers so they leave. Those that leave are among the most courageous people. They are taking the power away from their abusers and saying "No More!"

Went to school for a year to learn web design, then found out that companies wanted to pay me $10 an hour to design and code - two different skill sets. Why don't you do a series on how people are forced to live on little pay and few hours. People are tired of being abused for peanuts.
-
I think a big part of the dissatisfaction with employers is that most of them do not fully understand what their employees actually do and how they do it. They assign unreasonable and unrealistic goals that frustrate their people because they don’t understand what it takes to accomplish those goals.
-
Until you've worked in retail or dealt with the public, you'll never have a clue about how stressful it is dealing with arrogant, self absorbed, holier than thou, egotistical, self entitled people. And then there's the managers who treat you the same way.
-
I quit my job because someone I worked with died on the floor at work. The company gave everyone 30 minuets off... 30 minuets... And then everyone was told to get back to work. That employee had been there for 15 yrs. I've since started my own business and never been happier. Companies want us to break our backs for them but want to treats us like expendable garbage. Given a choice, why would anyone want to work for that?
-
American workers are experiencing unprecedented declines in their real incomes, which is why record numbers have been forced to work multiple jobs to make ends meet. When we talk about 9.1% inflation, the media acknowledged the true rate of inflation of about 18%?
-
This is a piece about Workers but it doesn’t interview a single worker? And this piece doesn’t address the fact that most Americans feel their employers don’t really care about their interests.
-
Having worked in retail, hospitality, and other service-sector jobs, none of this is surprising to me. It's not a worker problem, it's an employer problem. Employers want robots, not workers.
-
I'm a senior citizen that recently applied for a job (65 applications)! Out of 65, I was offered 1 interview which I attended but did not get the job. I am college educated, but feel very much undervalued because of my age. Some of us want to work but can't find an employer to hire us.

I remember struggling to work with a severe case of strep. 105⁰ fever, couldn't eat, couldn't sleep and, given my ill health, I wasn't able to think clearly at all. Yet I had to go in to my job in which I was responsible for children because my boss didn't take me seriously when I said I was sick. This is just an example, there are more. Started my own business during covid and haven't looked back.
-
1.) Not enough compensation 2.) Power crazed managers with psychological problems who treat staff like sh*** 3.) Companies that expect staff to do the work of 3-5 people.
-
They are seriously ignoring the fact that people are quitting because the average workspace is hostile to mental and/or physical health and yet doesn't pay enough to live on.
-
I quit my job December 2021 after starting my own business in Dec 2020. My office job was toxic with low pay. My manager and middle manager were both lazy. No recognition when you performed well, but definitely received feedback when you made a mistake.
-
I was looking for a job. Got an interview but they complained I haven't worked for a while so they didn't want to hire me. Like geez I wonder why places are understaffed. People are looking for jobs but employers just don't want them and now they are crying and whining about not having enough employees.
-
Employers spent years after the 2008 crash just stripping everything from employees: benefits, reasonable hours, pay increases (even for inflation) -- it's been disgusting. And when the pandemic hit, employers didn't even care if people died. And now they have the nerve to call people lazy. 😠
