Trying to hire and they are all "Drawing"

[smstonypoint]

The Flintstones cartoon series had Fred working in the local rock quarry and his wife's name was Wilma. When things were not going right he would scream out Wil----Maaaaaa. Ken Sweet

Ken,

Thanks. As I say, I'm slow on the uptake.

I tried to hire a lady who's been out of work and looking for a job for many months today. She was taken aback and said she didn't want to lose her unemployment....

Can you blame her? Why give up the stability of a government paycheck, for the uncertainty of working for a living?

My wifes 32 year old brother draws for being bi polar and he told her the other day she should keep on drawing her unemployment and not look for work. She had been laid off from a dead in job at a floundering bank. She had been out 3 months and all the local jobs her says shes over qualified for working here or there. She walked into a bank near the one she worked at and handed out a resume. They hired her on the spot for a part time job 20hrs a week and it pays more than her full time job at the other bank. They said they had tons of people That they called I know theres 6 locally from the bank and branches she worked at. But they all wanted to draw for a while before going to work.

Who wants to hire someone that could not find a job for in a couple years time?

I hired a guy who was laid off from American Airlines. He worked for me for a year and told me I was the best boss he had ever had because I gave him a job and let him do it without micro-management. Well, he was about the best employee I ever had also. I could give him a project and he'd update me weekly while getting the job done with a superior product. At the end of a year, AA called him back to work. They offered him $25k more per year than I was paying him and I couldn't compete. After he left, I missed him terribly. There are plenty of places out there that would love to have somebody for one year or two years who will work hard and be productive. BTW: We were paying him over $50k per year, so this wasn't a minimum wage job. Still, he was worth every penny of that $50k.

A couple of things. We might remove some of the disincentives by supplying surplus food commodities instead of food stamps to recipients. Back in the 50s and 60s the USDA ran those programs with some success. Be sure it is staple items and not processed foods. Folks would be healthier and would at least have to make the effort to cook the items.

It also looks like we may be handing out way too many handicapped parking permits. At our local WalMart, the great majority of people who park in handicapped appear to have obesity as their handicapping condition. There is no problem with the truly disabled getting help, but a lot of these people need to park and walk while shopping.

A few years ago, I was working as a tech for a utility company. My coworker and I went to a house out in the country to fix a problem. As we got out of the truck, we noticed a terrible dead smell. I asked the lady if there was something dead around and she pointed to the driveway opposite the one we drove in and said, "yeah, there is a dead possum over there and I've been calling the Highway Department for four days to come move it". I asked if she had a shovel and she allowed she did. A few seconds later, the possum was buried by the road ditch. No more stink.

This sums up the attitude of a lot of people. Let the government take care of it. These people only take and have no intention of producing anything except children and maybe a little meth. The cycle cannot be broken as long as they make more being useless than they would getting a job.

Yes, handicap privelege is one of my pet peeves|
Have seen just too many folks leap over snow banks or otherwise demonstrate perfectly normal signs to believe that those stickers are all ligitimate.
Ok, wheelchairs walkers crutches do merit the stickers, but obesity? bad knee 2 yrs ago? etc.
In my area the sticker is assigned to the vehicle and not the person so a fair number of drivers abuse the privilege because their aging parent qualifies even though he/she is driven perhaps but twice a month.
And then again they use the handicap zone as a ticket money grab tactic.

Just last week a fellow that had a broken ankle unloaded his wife at a handicap zone (one of 4, with 3 vacant) and remained in the idling car waiting for her because he wanted to be able to help her with the loading of packages when she returned.
He was ticketed!

The same ones that won't hire someone that's over qualified!! Anyone that's smart enough to be unemployeed for 2 years and still alive has something to offer. MikeD74T
