I have a $100k job posted that I got 10 resumes for. I had to keep it open for 3 months to get 10 resumes. Another $75k job was posted by my org, got 3 resumes. I’ve been hiring people for 15+ years and I normally get 20-50 applicants for jobs at various levels (very specialized field). Something is wrong.

? Sounds like a movie character but I don't watch movies.
"Atlas Shrugged"
The story is about America in decay as communists infiltrate our government and economy.
One man, John Galt, disappeared from society, and everyone asks "Who is John Galt?"
John Galt was a brilliant engineer who had created a source of infinite energy. The company he worked for became communist (woke), and refused to reward those who were productive, so he took his invention and disappeared one day. The company went bankrupt shortly after.
In the mountains of Colorado, he started working for himself. He invited others who refused to participate in communism to join him and work for themselves. They would trade with each other and respect each other's rights, but no communism was allowed.
Over time, brilliant minds, wealthy nobles, business leaders, and philosophers disappeared from society as they joined John Galt's little mountain enclave. There they watched the world burn.
When Obama was elected, a lot of people "went Galt" and just quit their jobs. They didn't need the money. They didn't need the trouble. And they were sick of paying taxes so degenerates could live off the public dole.
If you don't make money, you don't owe taxes. And there are ways to feed and clothe your family without money.
Ah, thank you. I've never read Atlas Shrugged and I had no idea this was the concept. I am more intrigued now. Appreciate the explanation, fren.
