I’m not saying people should be paid a lot more than $15 an hour because they definitely should, but shortages of Doctors and Engineers exist in some places, so not sure if I believe this post totally
Engineers in some places??? I can only speak for the Auto Industry, and only one company that I work at (one of the former big 3) - we import them, or they use contractors. Which I feel is absolute horseshit. Why hire on someone direct when you can use contractors and pay less.
This past week, I've received 4 emails from engineers saying this is my last day, and 3 out of 4 were contracted.
So shortages right, but probably paying more than $15 an hour right? My comment was direct at Trotsky saying shortages only exist at below $15 an hour.
Oh, my bad. I'm trying to multitask at work. It's going well!
Oh yeah, the pay is 2 to 3 times that and they can't hire folks fast enough, but it's trial by fire, and these young kids get absolutely crapped on without decent training, and them kicked out the door.
