End Staffing Shortages By Paying People More

 

I was surprised to see that the service desk at the grocery store was
closed. I thought to myself, This is ridiculous! It seems like every

company and every industry has a staffing shortage. The news claims 

people don't want to work, but it's not that simple. Some people can't 

work, because they're home helping their kids do e-learning. Some

are still on unemployment. Some are scared they'll get COVID if

they go to work. And a lot of people are sick and tired of working

for pennies! 

For the people who can work, they would be willing and able if a

reasonable amount of money was offered to them. Big companies

can easily pay people more than enough money to live on. Large

corporations know that $7.25 an hour isn't enough. Ten dollars an 

hour isn't enough either. 

If all the huge businesses paid the big wigs less, and paid the people

who actually associated with the COVID public more, there would

be far less staffing shortages.

Hair and Cultural Appropriation

Some things fit into the category of cultural appropriation, but hair 
isn't one of them. When a white person wears dreadlocks, cornrows,

box braids, Bantu knots, or anything past two pigtails, it shouldn't

be a big deal. White people aren't getting upset about black people

wearing straight hairstyles, or getting straight human hair weaved 

into their kinky hair.

It's petty to be bothered when you see a white person wearing a 

black hairstyle. Even if the hairstyle originated in Africa, that 

doesn't mean it's off limits to white people. It's hair! There are

more important issues going on in this world. If you want to 

change something, first change your state of mind. And if you 

want to get upset about something, get upset about public health, 

global warming, human rights, and the justice system.

We live in a world where we need to come together. We need to 

accept each other for who we are, and our diversities. Different

races and ethnicities should be able to get along, and share their

differences and similarities in harmony.

Why Corporate Doesn't Have a Clue

 

 

Corporate has a lot of ideas on how companies should be run. 
Unfortunately, many of their ideas only look good on paper. 

Does corporate even shop at or use the products from the com-

panies they operate? Corporate doesn't see employees as people;

they're seen as robots. And have you noticed no one ever takes

claim of the changes that corporate makes? Corporate is a name-

less and faceless power that controls so much, but knows so little.

Hey Corporate!!! Here's a few things you don't seem to understand.

* Instead of sending employees unhealthy snacks, and useless 

   games to play, give them a raise or a bonus for their hard work.

* When customers check out their purchases they want to simply

   buy the items and leave. It's annoying to be pressured to get a

   credit card, give an email address, phone number, or zip code.

* Don't claim you're Earth-friendly when you're constantly order-

   ing huge cardboard and plastic signs to display temporarily...

   And none of it gets recycled. 

* Can you explain why the mask required/mask mandate isn't

   being enforced? People not wearing masks can legally be

   refused service. Shame on you for putting your employees 

   in an unsafe work environment!

* Jacking up the prices of products, so they can be marked

   down, is a greedy game no one wins. It makes no sense to

   pay people to mark stuff down that was too high to begin with.

* Why does corporate cut the hours of the cleaning person, but

   there's plenty of payroll for markdown days?

* Why do you waste so much money on extended hours when

   there are no customers to be found?

* Why do high-touch surfaces have to constantly be wiped down,

   but maskless people are allowed to spread deadly germs inside

   your establishment?

* Your employees are worth at least $1 a year raise. That's a lot

   less than your raise is every year.
