This is not a political post don't make it one. its simply those with money are some greedy asshats post and that people are truly out of touch with reality.
So I live in Asheville NC. we now have the highest rate of police leaving their jobs of any agency in the country. 65 all together so far. We also have the highest rent and living expenses and lowest wages of just about anywhere. But instead of paying people a decent wage instead the city has decided to hire a branding and recruitment agency to rebrand the city and make it web pages and help with recruiting police officers. Hey here is an idea maybe take the 4 or 20 million what ever your gonna spend on some pointless consulting / recruitment agency and maybe oh I dont know pay the officers more? I mean do they really think rebranding the city and building a web page is gonna make anyone want to apply for underpaying jobs that they get no respect in?
Friend of mine who works at a retail shop same thing. Cant get any help.... they hire at 10 dollars an hour. A study we just had here in Asheville it now takes 44k a year or 22 dollars and hour to afford a 1 bedroom apartment here. Just who do they think they are gonna hire at a retail level for 10 dollars an hour? Now before you say well those are entry jobs... like 90% of anything for work in Asheville is hospitality and retail and the median income for an individual is 29k a year. The business owners in this town are so out of touch. One business my friend works at refuses to pay over time. and in order to avoid over time pay they closed the store early twice last week and lost about 6k in sales all to avoid paying anyone over time. they cant get help which is why they closed but 2 workers said they would stay and keep the store open... owner said nope i cant pay the over time. IN what world does a person put loosing 6k in sales as a priority to avoid paying a couple people a few hours of extra pay to help them out? its like these companies and cities are so hell bent on screwing employees they don't care what it cost to not pay them.
Its sorta like my brother the shithead is so cheap he tries to reuse and keep everything and in the long run it ends up costing him more to try and keep reusing old stuff in an attempt to not spend more money then if he had just bought something new to start with. these cities and businesses are all doing the same thing they are so determine to not raise pay they are spending more money to avoid rising pay then if they just raised the pay.
