Sounds like you are in a rural area that just doesn't have enough people to support the employers there. This is common among rural areas - people just don't want to live there.
Yep. My Uncle started a computer programming job back in the 80s and had to wear ties everyday up until the early 00's. Then they went to business casual. Still had to wear slacks and polos. Finally a couple years before he retired they went to full casual dress. He loved it haha.
Yeah, communism is even worse.
I had to wear a tie and dress shirt every day in 1998 working as a reporter at The Muscatine Journal where they were paying me 18K a year.
I don't disagree with this but I think we shouldn't let people be so comfortable not working if there are jobs out there.
Oh I’ve got plenty. But they don’t consist of 95 degree heat and a 1.5 year old. My main hobby is hunting and I won’t be able to pull a bow back this fall. Football can’t come soon enough.
I was required to wear a tie during residency, and usually had to wear a white coat. I immediately stopped that nonsense after graduation. After covid hit, I went to scrubs every day. I'm never going back to slacks and button ups. I haven't worn a white coat in 4 years.
This, along with indoor factory work and shift work. With the unemployment rate ~1.5% and a life style that honestly isn't for everyone, we need to open legal immigration opportunities for those seeking a better life and that are willing to work. As long as they being their house building crews with them. We're kinda short on those too.
When I was still working my boss / owner said that anyone who got into our industry thinking it was a 40 hour work week was in the wrong business. Luckily I liked my job.
Glad this isn't the case with my team. We are all working non-stop. Maybe if I posted less, I'd not work as late, though. LOL My days are going on the 10-hour mark sans Fridays.

Just like all the complaints about the young people these days which are always the same going back to ancient Greece it seems like this nugget is as old as the hills. Because apparently the generations that won the west, won World War 1, Got through the great depression, won World War 2, the baby boomers and Gen X didn't want to work either. Greatest generation. . . So lazy millions of them took a 3 year vacation to Europe and Asia just to get out of work.
Your management team sucks ass and they are taking advantage of you when they are down that many people and aren’t doing anything about it. They are paralyzed by not knowing how to fix the problem or make any attempt to hire quality people to fill all the positions or some of them that they should look at and say, we have to have these positions filled as priority one then evaluate what positions you don’t have to have someone in that role.
This is how it got at my last job. People would leave, leadership would slow-play replacements and if stuff kept getting done, they’d ”lose” the position. Rinse and repeat. So, I said eff it this winter and planned my exit. I really enjoyed my job before management started messing with headcount (we were down 5 senior leaders and I was the only one left plus a number of key contributors)…..I was burning myself out and life is too short to mess up my life because they don’t give a bleep.
That’s what happens when we had so much autonomy by age 10.
The point isn’t that they can’t force people to work for them, the point is that for whatever they’re paying and/or asking people to do and/or how they’re treating people, people don’t think the job is attractive.
