I don't know about the rest but I do know some former Boeing employees. Boeing has a reputation as not being a great place to work. Long hours and low pay. Desirable candidates don't want to work in a grist mill.

My wife is an RN that works in HR. Part of her job is orienting and drug testing new employees in a large healthcare system.
It’s a revolving door. The majority of local new hires are lazy, stupid and can’t pass a drug test. The best new nurses are from up north or Midwest.

I worked for a couple years at a steel mill in Mobile Alabama and we had the same issue of finding qualified workers. Don't think it's just a SC problem

Your wife has a hard job. My MIL is an RN and the VP of Human Resources for Cone Medical in North Carolina. She was recently promoted from head recruiter to over see all of HR. She can tell some nightmare stories about hiring nurses...and then retaining them is another story. I didn't realize how competitive it is but these young nurses will jump ship for another $.25/hour.

[FLS]

She does. Add in a director of nursing that just wants warm bodies so her numbers look good...
The good ones that can retire are. Good new nurses are few and far between. A smart hardworking young nurse can name her price and work as much as they want.

People don't understand anymore that experience pays. We have people that have never surveyed a day in their lives and think they can start up making $20 an hour.

I get transplant "carpenters" that ask for $25/hour to start- I tell them to go back north. Good reliable manpower is my biggest obstacle- regardless of pay. Some of my guys do make that much- but they run a crew and a jobsite along with physically working.

I get the same damned thing....folks show up with a 25k/yr skillset and a 75k/yr salary requirement.

I think some of yall have been carrying a clip board too long. The problems aren't always the employee, but maybe the employer.

There is always a jackass that makes this bullshit comment. This time it's you.

Have I offended you? I apologize if I did.


I just live with a nurse who has literally bent over backwards for the office she currently works for. She is underpaid, unappreciated, and her loyalty is abused weekly. If she leaves that office, she becomes one of the statistics the above posters were referencing. Meanwhile, no one has brought up the issue may lie in the hands of a poorly managed work environment.

Meanwhile, airlines are raising hell about the quality of the 787's coming out of the SC plant.

But forget high paying jobs. It is getting hard for employers of gas stations and grocery stores to find enough people who can spell cat and pass a piss test...

I want reparations from the feds

For goodness sake that demon Shershit marched through burning our state to the ground after a bunch of fools stole our youth took our means of making money and left us with a bunch of carpet baggers.

Now being a evil tyrant who’s family owned slaves I want my money.

They destroyed what supported the nation from its inception and left us with squaller for years.

Now the damn corporations are raping what’s left

They aren’t coming here for our magnolias and grand strand
They are here for right to work and cheap conditions to higher labor

Screw them.

We were better off 10-20-30 years ago

[Silentweapon338]

I don’t get the whole argument about owning slaves

The corporation is the same as the old boss

The slave owner clothed fed sheltered taught said asset.
In turn they received labor.

The corporation pays the asset just enough money to
Clothe feed shelter and they take
Care of further education if need be to the corporations tailoring.

What they don’t get the feds pick up
And they are worse than any slave owner.

Sure there are tails of some yahoo beating a slave.
And they didn’t have porn so a little romp in the hay was the equivalent.
Guilty pleasures.

Sally Hemings seemed to be more into it that Tommy was.
After a bowl of weed on the front porch his beloved home they were both primed for some lovin’.

What’s the difference in the boss and the secretary today?


We make all these moral righteous statements about something we had absolutely no part in.

But since we are!

I want mine!! I want my money!

So, BH, you gonna respond after calling dude out?

He obviously has no experience carrying a clip board. I would work circles around most of the guys that work for me but I'm in my position for a reason.

Labor is like any other commodity you get what you pay for. Supply and demand still works.

That's exactly right, your paid based on experience at my place of employment. Zero experience demands a beginners salary. I doubt many companies are paying top dollar for people that don't supply the company with profitable labor.

I used to kinda like you. I’ll still pray for you though.

The better companies can poach competitors employees and have little turnover. In my industry low end companies that low ball work always have turn over and recruiters looking for people.
