GEE IT'S ALMOST LIKE NONE OF YOU OFFER TRAINING ANYMORE. Ahem, sorry. HR people inspire random bouts of rage in me.
Talent shortage like you couldn't train a monkey to do 80% of office work and 75% of the rest of it. There's no talent shortage, there's a worthwhile labor shortage
It's an artificial shortage meant to barr the average worker from working as a means of saving money for the capitalist.
Training is seen as a form of investment, and "years of experience" as required by capitalists are seen as previous investments into their potential hire able asset.
They want to aquire assets that they don't need to invest in because they don't want to waste capital investing into assets because it's cheaper to aquire a preinvested asset. Which leads to the artificial demand of preinvested assets due to the complete pennypinching these pigs do to stay wealthy.
The whole thing is a damn scam to keep the army of the unemployed fully manned at all times.
I think we also need to come to grips with the idea that we as a society don't need everyone working. We don't need advertising, holding companies, marketing, 30 parallel brands for the same Chinese plastic & rubber, small time logistics companies, etc. each flush with janitors, IT teams, web devs, and other support staff. I don't need to know that this comrade over here has stared at an Excel sheet for 40 hours to believe they are worthy of food, healthcare, and housing. And if I cannot accept that, then the dysfunction isn't going to go away. In fact, it will get much worse when automation shoves it in our faces. Self-driving trucks stand to disrupt swathes of American jobs - as would more trans-continental railroads. Is this bad? Should automation be shunned for it's inheritance? In my eyes it's only a question of which class should the means of production serve.
Jobs programs that serve climate change, public housing, and public transport needn't come with the bullshit with typical job applications. At least some effort should be put towards considering how best to find qualified people for technical positions that's not just lying to each other with shitty job requirements and lying ass resumes.
Yep, most jobs are unnecessary in a FALGSC type state that could be implimented, public works would be a good route to take easing people into less need for traditional labour, get millions of people out planting trees again.
Has this person written job postings? I want to see the years of experience required.
