Many Australian farmers can’t seem to keep operating without hiring backpackers and Pacific Islanders at wages that Australians won’t accept.

I just spent the better half of last month looking for remote work. The ones that weren't scams were underpaying and had ridiculous qualifications. Still looking.

Nobody wants to work at my job. I'm self-employed. It's me. I don't wanna work. I want naps.
DQ1701
IT seems to me that, if noone wanted to work. HE could have worked harder, oh thats right he hired other people because HE didnt want to work.

My dad "are you gonna keep this one this time?" After I've been laid off or transferred 5 times since covid. Like it's my fucking fault they don't pay me enough to keep up my mental, physical and emotional health. Like it's my fault they drip me every 6 months and the temp agency is slow af. Yes I want to "keep it" but the system allows me to be used and aborted.

Owners having to move back to a worker status terrifies them because as an owner they know how bad capital owners and business owners treat and view their workers
cramitinyourramhole
Remember the only "risk" that capital owners take is becoming a worker like you.

"But I don't want to work for that paltry wage!"

"it's meant to be a starting wage! It's not meant to live on. So get a 2nd job!'

"yes, a starting wage lasts for 12 years. Why do you ask?"

Back in my day we worked twice as hard for half a much, we didn’t have any $5 Avocado Lattes that’s how we were able to afford a $300/mo Mortgage.

All I could afford back then was some bootstraps and privilege, but look at me now!

Nobody wants to work... For shitty people, crap money and under terrible conditions.

I honestly didn't have much issue with my last job. The biggest one though was dealing with shitty, hypocritical people... had enough noise.
Christx30
No one wants to work at all. We do it for the money we need to live on.
TalaayaCosplay
I don't want to have to do my job to survive but I'd still love to do it in a better society where everyone's needs are met without jobs.
SnailsAgainstTungstenSpheres
That's what I'm talkin about! I have an awesome, super niche job in my field I went to college and worked my way up to for many years. I would quit and never look back if I won the lotto or some shit. I knew I was gonna need to work to live, so I tried to make it not suck too much. But I'd rather occasionally do this as a hobby and fuck around a lot more.

Unemployment is hitting historic lows in some places. Meanwhile; NoBoDy WaNtS tO wOrK has hit an all time high
GenStrike
That is partly because so many people have left the workforce. You don't count in unemployment statistics if you're not looking.
thundercactus
Alternatively, it's almost as if several hundred thousand people who were in the workforce suddenly died over the last 3 years for some reason
GenStrike
Yep. But death is only part of the picture. There's been a lot of people retiring and a lot of people disabled too.
shutdafuccup
I don't remember where I read it, but someone summed it up really well: If you can't find workers because you're not paying enough, it means that you can't afford to be in business.
dcostanza1
Yep that's how free markets work.
onemoretimeforluck
If the market were free those big banks would be tits up.

"It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country." from FDR's 1933 Statement on the National Industrial Recovery Act. It's a great quote!
drinkthederpentine
Yes, likely due to globalization, price dumping, and poor work conditions in a country thousands of miles away
hobbitdoc
It's a great mentally to shut down mom and pop stores and replace everything with large corporations. They're the ones that can afford it
BatmansUnderPantsAreSoSoft
Mom and pop shops are some of the worst offenders
MyWifiHatesMe
That's not always true, though. Most corporations just pay low wages to maximize profits for the shareholders. There are just some incredibly calloused and greedy people out there..
Einstein9073
It's definitely always true. If you are offering the highest wage you're willing to pay and nobody will take it, you either need to lower something else so you can raise your pay rates or go out of business. Frequently dishonest and lying company owners will lie about how much money they can actually afford to pay so they can pocket more of it

Or some shop opens in China, steals your IP, pays their workers dogshit and makes them work 16 hour shifts, undercuts you by >50% and you go out of business
ThatShiftyMonkey
Huge company I work for, billions in revenues, they could triple every employee's wage and it would just be a handful of percent from the shareholders. The company would still be 100% viable, and probably moreso, because our insanely high turnover would plummet.
LeJoop
But that also mean that they CAN afford the wages, so that’s unwillingness to pay. If you CANT pay, then your business is not viable. It’s just targeting the stupid argument of not being able to “afford” reasonable wages.
