Good employers can't get workers either. Our company has always paid 100% of health insurance, we give disability and life insurance too. 401K and the employees own the company. We've hired people back that left for higher hourly wage after they found out what we offer as a total package.
It’s a bidding war for employees here in St charles county. We implemented key employee pay rates a few years ago and still can’t keep good workers. If you hear someone complaining they can’t earn enough money then you are looking at an idiot.
Don’t even mention trucking. Massive shortage in drivers and now you can’t get new trucks.
I was visiting a customer and got to see their new offshore dredger. I said “that’s one big boat!” He said. It’s a ship not a boat, son. 😂. They’re lines not ropes. Big thick “lines”😂. Not ropes.
