Workers are feeling too entitled

You're certainly not wrong. But then he's gonna learn about "death by turnover."

I've been on a four month "vacation" (severance), and it's time to go back to work. Lots of jobs out there. Just started looking. Same pay+, which will be fine over the next 2-3 years before I retire.

Raytheon, Sargent, Honeywell, and BAE are literally begging for people. And that's just one industry.

That says a lot about you and I respect that. It's nice to know there are still people out there who aren't looking for government handouts.

Do you really think that people aren't taking advantage of taxpayers and the government's willingness to go deeper into debt to buy votes?

I am. I earned it and I don't care. UI maxes out at $510/wk. here, so while it won't pay the bills, I'm not gonna feel guilty about collecting a few weeks' worth before I go back to work.

Workers definitely have the upper hand in Biden's economy. If their employers doesn't kiss their behind, they will just quit and Joe will pay them more to not work. Just say they have developed mental issues and get full disability, along with free food, housing, utilities and health care....and don't forget to vote Democrat or that stuff will get taken away.

Workers are America but they do not have the upper hand. They have been deprived of wage power for decades leading to wage stagnation. Biden does care about workers but he cannot undue decades of Republican supply side BS overnight. We know for sure now..coddling the wealthy with tax cuts does not make them any less greedy and it might make them more greedy.

But it's not his labor. It's the employees' labor. Two-way street. They both have decisions to make.

Ours is an at will employment nation. That means employers can fire at will, and employees can quit at will. In a hot labor market, employees can choose to collectively demand things. Employers can choose to say 'no' and risk losing those employees to somebody else who says 'yes' - this is how free market capitalism works. If @gbg3 doesn't like it, perhaps she might be happier in a totalitarian state where some dictator determines what employees are or are not allowed to ask for.

He thinks workers must be subservient to their employers because they are the "job creators" and they must kneel in their presence. This is how Reagan explained it and started it all.

LOL He can take his company and shove it then. Without employees he would be nothing. He needs to discuss this first if he wants loyalty.

It's an expression of authoritarian thinking.

These are the same folk who scream "freedoms!"
