Good people don't have to put up with bullsh**. But, they first have to believe they are "good" and perform accordingly.  |
I have no idea why employers think it's good business to retrain and recycle minimum to low wage employees.
But they do.
You might be happy to leave, but you wouldn't find a job so happy to hire you. Your comments lead me to think that you haven't needed to be on the market for a job in quite a while.
But of course, none of that is relevant. You claimed that all a person needs to do is threaten to leave or make it known they are worth more to paid a comsensurate wage to their training. I'm explaining to you that isn't true--the worker is going to be written off the schedule. You may feel like it's a good opportunity for the worker to look for another job, but that's switching your claim--workers will not get a wage increase because they get better training and make a demand on their employers.
I am almost certain you would be surprised to know that the people in those $8-12 dollar per hour jobs already have B.A.'s. It's not as though our workers are undertrained. There are serious structural defects in our job market, and blaming workers for feeling inadequate or for not seeking enough training is not going to to address them.
