Yes, companies are paying a lot but only because they need to attract new talent. The problem is with existing talent. To convince yourself, just look at the flip side. Why do you think workers are leaving companies at record rates? Because they're not valued where they are. If this was not the case, companies would pay to keep the talent they have.
- almost_usual 5y agoWorkers are leaving because they don’t want to work anymore. COVID gave everyone more time to reflect on their life.
- coliveira 5y agoIsn't this the same thing? Companies want to extract the last drop of life from they employees, and they don't think it makes sense anymore. If companies wanted to keep them, they would just let these employees work less (which is basically the same as paying more per worker).
- simonh 5y agoCompanies are just made up of people, so that's a very bitter view of huge swathes of our species. Is human society really just the vicious race to the moral low ground you describe? As a species we have our failings, for sure, but I believe that most people, most of the time and with the freedom to choose try to do the right thing as they see it, and that's as true of people who work for companies as for people who don't.
