We have outstanding benefits and pay pretty well but we have been noticing that younger people are more interested in dollar signs than they are in benefits. We have had people turn down our offers to go and make $2-3/hr more but have told us that they will have to pay for insurance which is no big deal to them. I wonder how much of that is not fully understanding how job benefits work as compared to a higher wage. Took me years in the workforce before I really valued the benefits that different places had to offer. Link to comment

The "company man" is dead as far as we know it. Raises at your company are no longer a thing because you can job-jump and make way more than your next raise ever would have been. Link to comment

But….I’ve seen many times where people job hop but never advance in a company because they aren’t there long enough. Meanwhile, the person who stays there gets the promotions and moves up. Also, if I have three resumes in front of me and two job hopped and the other didn’t, I know which one I’m more interested in. Link to comment

Oh for sure... I think the issue is that a raise at your current job...is (or seems to be) never as big as when you job jump and can get that big new hire payday. It is different in my profession because if you are at a good place, you just stay. 1 Link to comment

And, oil companies have thousands of leases they haven’t even started to drill on yet. What a bunch of BS propaganda. 5 2 Link to comment

Maybe they can move off energy and fight the rights of the Timberline Southwestern Six Legged Squint Beetle. All the hikers are encroaching on its habitat. 2 Link to comment
teachercd Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Do we hit a 6 dollar gallon of gas (national average) by July 4th? And eggs are now 2.25 for a dozen? What the f#&%...the minimum wage for chickens shoot way up? 2 Link to comment

If they are forgoing 401k match, then they aren’t understanding the value of compound interest. 1 Link to comment

Gas prices are very likely to remain high for a long time, as long as the war in Ukraine rages. Link to comment
