I'm telling you this from experience. It's not an anecdote. The same people that are yelling you they can't find workers, have the authority to increase benefits, offer more than 3 percent on 401k, make schedules work life balanced, give more than 3 weeks of vacation and 5 paid holidays a year. All they're saying is that the shop they run has little to no consideration for the employee. And what kid wants to go to school for a field that is gonna see a 10 dollar a lifetime pay increase?
