I've looked for a good explanation of the shortages, but really haven't found one satisfactory. Currently nurses are getting sign-on bonuses of $10k, $15k, or more. We are short 80k truck drivers. Fed Ex will be hiring tens of thousands during the Christmas season. National Guard is driving school buses or schools just cut out bus routes. McDs is paying big bucks and still can't get staff, as well as most other restaurants, etc. Can all of these staff shortages be explained by people who don't want to get the s#ot? If not, what else explains it?

The money isn't worth the bullshit.
I am fixing to quit my well paying job at the end of the year and temporarily retire for a year or two until this storm passes us over. Many others are in the same boat. Those who have made wise financial decisions have the power to simply walk away from their job.
Honestly, do y'all want to go back to the "normal" we had before? I believe we will not be going back to what we had before the pandemic. The Post Awakened World is going to be a radical departure from what we considered normal a couple of years ago.
Yeah working low wage job with wearing mask all day and protocols sounds like awful, I am not surprised would quit dealing with that shit.
Yep, I also think a lot of people close to retirement are choosing to go ahead and retire rather than be a guinea pig.
I wonder too if a lot of 2-income families are choosing to go one income rather than be subjected to the experimental shot. Or choosing to have a parent stay home to homeschool so their kids won’t be.
Sadly many people close to retirement have quit to avoid the shot and have lost their retirement income.
You are so right!
Wow. Good for them. I am one of only 3 people at my work who didn't get the s*ot, so I just don't know if that explains it across the board.
Maybe a combination of too many government perks for staying home, too many mask/testing/shot requirements to work and maybe a large number of people dying of ‘natural causes’. Then of course there is a segment of the population that is tuned into MSM and is just plain too terrified of Covid to work.
Yeah have some coworkers that never come to office and prefer to stay gone remote working than come in every once in a while. They are vaxxed of course.
I assume many won't get the jab, and I also assume about 1 in 500 or 1 in 1000 are having a bad time when they got the shot and can't work.
This is an unbelievably shitty movie to live through, but it could be much much worse, so there's that.
People could also just be dying, and the MSM isn't going to cover it.
I've been wondering if this is the case
Yanno I wonder about that too and not just nurses and drivers. I'm a maintenance mechanic for a large company ( for my area ,) about 500 employees. We don't have a mask mandate nor vaxx mandate. But for a year we couldn't hire anyone. After the federal government stopped paying the extra 300 a week in unemployment my company got all excited. Thinking we would get people to come and work. But ABSOLUTELY NOT " we have gotten a few , but we are still very very short handed. They are offering a sign on bonus and I'm clueless to where the hell everyone is. I know they are not dead because all the roads have shit tons of cars. More than before covid on my commute. So I ask my self daily. Where are all these people driving too and does anyone work anymore .it's truly an upside down world
Yes!! Exact same situation here. No more unemployment, but we can't even eat inside restaurants because they don't have enough staff. Some nurses are getting a $10k bonus for a 6 week contract. And we haven't had any staff deaths at my work, several hundred people, yet from the vacks. I'd really like to know what is causing this shortage.
It is just crazy. We will tour / hire 10 and maybe 3 stay and with in a few months one or two actually stay
🙋♀️ School bus driver here...left one district over the jab already, will leave this one too and fo to a private co if it comes down to it. Yes they are leaving or changing over to other smaller companies to ride this thing out. It's the hill we die on. CDL is gold...
Very low paying gold
Not where I drive. I make a very nice living! I love my kids, get great health benefits for under $50.00 a month that cover everything @100%, + dental and vision. Tons of paid holidays and a work schedule that gives me flexibility during each day.
The real gold in this job is the kids though....they are our future and I get to spend lots of time interacting in such a positive way with all 100 of them I drive daily. As a former social worker and foster parent, being a constant in these uncertain times, gives a lot of kids comfort. Can't put a price on some things. Gods work pays differently fren.
Blessings that you realize giving of the heart and soul to others is priceless...
My son works at mcdonalds. It is his first job and he really likes it there but he will have to quit soon because without the two kill shots he will be not allowed to work there. Fuck the government.
Does McDonald’s require you to get vaccinated? >_> Sorry, that’s not a cocky question I was just wondering. I haven’t found a new job yet due to not wanting to be a test subject. My sibling has diabetes and just got jabbed today. Will watch for any signs of sickness. My mom said she will too. They had to for their new job or the boss said they will be terminated. Sad times we are living in.
I honestly don't know if McDonald's is requiring the s*ot.
I have no evidence for this, but if true it would be a sufficient explanation. If white hats are truly in control, could it be that illegal immigrants are being deported and new ones prevented from coming in? We already know the news is fake. Could this be happening with a news blackout? A general labor shortage that large would have ripple effects everywhere. I know it sounds crazy, but I'll keep my eyes peeled for signs.
I really think the explanation is something we don't know yet, even from reading non-MSM news. It's just such a huge lack of workers across many sectors.
msm tonight said they eere suffering "burnout". Must be that solar stuff they been trying to scare us with.
