In 'my' current employment we deal with the "training" for diversity and inclusion and assorted other
feelz good stuffs that corporate America is fond of pushing lately. We are dealing with the
typical hiring issues and lack of talent candidates as well as no shows to interviews.
One of my friends owns his own specialty manufacturing company. It's not a large concern but
does well enough for him to make a good living for the family. In an email thread we were
discussing being busy and lack of help. His response was so typical of the working environment
that we are experiencing:
Irish,
Same here… my Top Engineer has decided to move on after 15
years, and I’ve been scrambling to replace him, and of course we’re very busy.
The Biden economy is making these Millennials jump ship for
more money, and here in ** with (large
defense contractor 1 ), (large defense contractor 2), and all their suppliers
making offers I can’t meet, has made it tough…
The real problem is these young kids coming out of
Engineering School are idiots, especially the women and minorities. Telling
these people, they’re qualified is a joke if they haven’t taught them even the
basics. But that would be OK if they
didn’t come with the “know-it-all” attitude. I guess this is the result from
getting trophies for just showing up.
I’m getting too old for this shit.
