It's like that everywhere- my son is a restaurant kitchen manager and they cannot find or keep workers. He frequently tells us he will hire someone and on their first day of work, they take a cigarette break and never come back. He also has to NOT fire people for disciplinary reasons because he know he cannot fill that position. I don't know what the solution is.

Same in PA. My favorite Thai food place went take out only during Covid thanks to our Gov. Was there the other day and he wants to re-open to in person dining, but can't find any staff to help out, and he and his wife can't do it alone.
Who would have thought paying people to sit at home would have repurcussions?
As a GenX silver lining seeker, at least I'm pleased knowing they won't try to replace me with a lower salary individual as I age. I'll show up and work.
Ain’t that the gd truth? Not only do I show up, I come a few minutes early, prepared to work immediately and cheerful about it not 15 min late (Starbucks line sorry guys) and heading straight to the bathroom to pee and fix the face paint. Sadly it’s taken EIGHT LONG BARREN YEARS of this star studded behavior (I also don’t call in sick or make huge mistakes costing the company $$) to get a single raise. Thanks for that 2% Charles (or whoever the CEO is now I can’t keep up I just keep blaming Charles). Lucky for him I did get a financial incentive to stay for 2 years that goes directly into my retirement account (stock options but who’s complaining). But seriously could I be any less respected? My company is offering HUGE sign on bonuses for pharmacy managers in some locations and NO ONE CARES (or applies). They could at least try and treat those of us who are worth a crap a little better. It’s only going to get worse (it’s not gotten anything but worse in my 15 years with this company). I only stay bc I have it fairly good as far as hours I work and that I don’t have to immunize which is next to impossible to find in the retail sector these days.
