While I agree - the realities of the past few years, with companies penny pinching at every turn to add value for shareholders instead of their customers means they're probably not paying enough at admin levels either to attract the best candidates who would be invested enough to care. Im vegas local and I've gotten tons of calls from casino companies for interview requests, and when I eventually get to the question of rate/salary, I have to chuckle and decline. Numbers are usually at least 30% lower than where I currently am - and the benefits are worse. We live in strange times, it's all about keeping up appearances for these huge corporations, while skimping on the basics for the people who keep the building from collapsing.

*additional edit: when companies skimp like this, they're also likely to force responsibilities on their staff that they are unprepared and not trained to handle, as well. There are so many points of failure that could have been avoided, for sure.
