it does help unemployed people
- pjmlp 9y agoUnemployed people would be helped if business wouldn't be so greedy in their selection criteria, and would give a position to anyone actually wanting to work there, instead of spending months looking for the perfect candidate that would be willing to work at the misery they want to pay. EDIT: typo
- Aaargh20318 9y ago> spending months looking for the perfect candidate that would be willing to work at the misery that want to pay. That's what I don't understand. These companies completely forget the law of supply and demand when it comes to hiring. They keep complaining they can't find anyone yet the salary they are offering stays the same. I'll bet that if you double or triple what you're paying that shortage you're complaining about will mysteriously disappear.
- dagw 9y agoIf the salary stays the same it's because that is the value having someone in that position produces for the company. Paying your employees more than the value they produce is a quick was to bankruptcy.
- Aaargh20318 9y agoThen maybe you should draw the conclusion that your company no longer has a valid business case.
- dagw 9y agoAbsolutely. But it explains why many companies are so reluctant to raise their wages. Admitting you no longer have a valid business is hard.
- B1FF_PSUVM 9y ago> They keep complaining The squeaky wheel gets the grease. (PR honchos are kept from idleness, newspapers pipelines are filled, company didn't want to hire anyway, and maybe the gummint will drip in some cash for training internships. Win, win, win, win.)
