Can’t Find Employees
 

A local restaurant is closing after five years because they can’t find staff.

“After five years of serving burgers in Padanaram, Chumley’s has permanently closed its doors.

According to a Facebook post from the restaurant, Chumley’s closed in part because management was “unable to find quality staff for this season.”

People keep saying that they can’t find work. The summer population triples by May 30. Many summer houses are being opened now. I went out today and saw people working on their properties.

A friend told me that her husband makes more money from unemployment than working. He’s in manufacturing and she is an RN.

A restaurant that I went to as a kid is closing permanently. Opened in the fifties and my parents went there when dating. The pandemic caused the lack of customers and the limited seating killed them.

It’s going to take years to recover from this.

Restaurants pay shitty wages and often have a toxic work environment! Then they wonder why no one wants to work for them. Offer better pay and not some small sign on bonus.

Plus don't forget about former workers who have moved on to better paying jobs or have started their own business.

Maybe tell people there is a job shortage so they will panic apply like they do with gas and tp.

I saw one of the places I use to eat as a kid 40+ years ago is closing because they can't get enough staff. It's sad but it is what it is.. :2 cents:

Similar in the UK, with the cheap EU labour gone, they're having to pay a living wage to get staff.

We could tell people they get employment coin. Elon loves it and it will soon be listed on coinbase.

All the workers went back to Mexico to avoid dying for covid like 600k others here did.

No covid south of the border? Neat.

Well, at first they thought so.

There was an article about this in the Washington Post last week.

The reality is they are paying poeple crappy wages to do a crappy jog. Why work in a hot kitchen or a stressful job waiting on tables for $13/hour when you can go work at Amazon for $17/hour - and get medical benefits on the first day?

Some people went to college or into other professions, and some people moved back in with their parents and no longer have to pay rent.

Of course some people did the math and figured why work in a restaurant for $300/week when they can collect unemployment at $300/week.

You can always tell which restaurants pay their employees well. The Taco Bell here in town pays well and is always fully staffed, and hasn't risen their prices. Same thing with In & Out. I don't eat fast food often but when I do I am stunned at the prices - $25 for two people for lunch at Wendy's is too fucking much.

Welcome to government dependence... one of the stages of turning a free country into a communist state.

What the government giveth, the government can taketh away.

:2 cents::2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

This is the preview of socialist America. Why work when the government pays you to sit at home and watch Netflix?

A currency crisis is upon us. Foreigners work hard to produce while America just prints money to buy their goods. Inflation will kill the dollar.

I used to be a chef and I'm highly considering going back for a job somewhere, because there's no seasonal migrant workers in Aus so casual rates have gone from around 35 an hour to over 50 and thats just the shit kickers job not as head chef.

Problem is I think I could only cope doing 1-2 hours week, certainly nothing stressful, I'm only really there to perv and flirt with waitresses.

Its just not a slight problem here.. its business closing

8060 advertisements for chef positions and 14,026 as restaurant and cafe managers, with businesses unable to find Australian workers to fill their vacancies.

Seems noone likes to be a worker these days

Don't know about you but I never wanted to be one. That's why I made websites.

Same here, That's why I make messy pants instead... :2 cents:
