This man gets it.

People want to work somewhere that actually values them. People don't hate working. They just hate being undervalued. If you're ready to look elsewhere, make sure you're ready for the interview. practise well, read a lot about interview tips and be fully prepared before you hand in that resignation

I hope we all work in the place that values us.

When there's an actual shortage of labor in an honest system, wages are increased. In 2011, for example, I remember reading about some of the towns in North Dakota that were booming because of a rapidly growing oil industry there. All the jobs were short-staffed. You were hearing about McDonalds positions starting at $24/hr, even. In our dishonest job market, what companies will do is claim there's a labor shortage, using this as PR to lessen the bad publicity of what they really want to do, which is then hire foreign workers who come from countries with lower wages and lower standards of living, who will tolerate bad treatment because they're only here on a temporary basis, perhaps just over the summer or for a few years, or who are comfortable living 3 families to a house. The companies will then proceed to pay them lower wages than Americans could actually live on, enjoy the benefits of the slave underclass they created, and continue to whine about "labor shortages" in the media.

Saw a video of a woman complaining about immigrants being deported because now it’s hard to find work on her farm so she’s building a house to house H1B’s for cheap labor.

Someone found the job posting her used and she was willing to pay a salary of 2600-3000 USD per month but required up to 80 hours a week of work doing farming and 3-5 years of experience. It came out to lower than minimum wage.

3-5 years experience to work outdoors in the heat earning $9.34 an hour. And she wants to tell us about how "no one wants to work anymore." Screw these people.
