    Exactly. Nobody wants to work for unliveable wages. It’s a wage shortage, not a labour shortage.

    Or, after being tired of being lowballed for work and offers to be paid in exposure, “fuck you, pay me.”

      A local (and very well off) welding company wanted me to pay for my own courses and equipment when I applied. It would have been hundreds of dollars out of my pocket, for MAYBE a chance to be taken on as an apprentice, if I withstand being the shop bítch for long enough.
      PART TIME.

      yea,

      FUCK OFF

      Most trade jobs don’t pay enough. As an auto tech The offerings are not good, because most dealers keep most of the profits. Nurses are getting screwed left and right too. I tried switching over to being a truck driver and they actually pay less now than they used to, this is after the supposed shortage and I was out 14hrs a day.

        ??? How can they have a shortage of workers, but try to justify paying people less???

        I swear to fucking god, the mental gymnastics these fuckers do is phenomenal
