    Why spend money keeping people around which will result in higher wages long term, when we can just churn through them and replace them consistently, saving money in both the short and long term. What could possibly go wrong?

      Why is productivity down 80%? We can’t get good employees in our country We should downsize them all and outsource to India.

      Churn doesn’t save money. The business has to pay more unemployment insurance and their worker’s comp rates suffer, and more. Tack on the extra training time and having new dipshits running around, not good. One solid employee can easily do the work of two or three new people, and they don’t need supervised.

      SOURCE: Worked IT for a payroll firm, got the inside experience.

      “But the caPiTliStS don’t know that!”

      Yes, they do. The owners are simply too disconnected to understand why people leave their wonderful workspaces. Individuals are too timid to speak truth to power and we no longer have unions to do it for us.

        It’s been my experience that workers have no issue speaking up, but because there’s no union, it just becomes disorganized noise and can be easily ignored.
