That's because a university degree is not a substitute for job training. Why would you ever assume that it is?
"Workers with more professional experience are in demand! Hot new trend!"
Simply to get a 40-50% pay raise, you say? How dare they entertain competitive job offers instead of sucking it up and quietly chewing on the **** sandwich you've been serving them? chainsawing employees and their enlightened self-interest, we never had this problem back before they passed the 13th amendment.
Quick question: if a 40-50% pay raise is competitive for your employees, why aren't you matching it?
Oh, be honest. It's because you don't give a ****. You're basically banking on high school dropouts getting their girlfriends pregnant, aren't you?
Well here's your fucking problem, it's all puppies and ****.
Seriously Alco, there's a slight flaw in your reasoning:
Even assuming that college-educated people are "the most incompetent people in the workforce", what does that say about
the people who are hiring them?
Here's a hint: they're out, getting better jobs and getting bigger paycheques. You, on the other hand, are a lifer at the same awful company where they are too good to work.
They are not the problem.
I'm not sure why that should be a surprise. Just about everything you do in business jobs is useless too, so why should a business school act differently?
Statistics. It's spelled
statistics. Statics is a different thing which Collage Educated people also tend to know, so it's a little confusing for most of us. Fortunately I still speak imbecile from back when I used to work in a warehouse.
Statistics I understand, but economics? Please explain why an economics course would help you work with a spreadsheet. (Are you sure you don't actually mean
finance?)
Congrats, your job could be easily automated.
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THESE YOUNG PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO WORK FOR ME.
And here we have the biggest nugget of bull**** in this brown, fetid pile.
The textbooks at college aren't "dated". They publish a new edition
every damn year and always make students buy the latest copy. It's a money-making scam to crush the used textbook market.
It's been a huge controversy for the past 20 years, like the biggest controversy in post-secondary pricing, and the fact that you obviously don't know
anything about it proves pretty conclusively that you don't have a single solitary clue what you're talking about.
Hiring employees appropriate for the job? Companies have really
just adopted this strategy? And yet we blame the banks for the economy collapsing?
What was your strategy before now? Drawing jobs from a hat?
Also pretty sure the "vast majority" of small businesses aren't turning away people with post-secondary educations, dude. Construction, non-institutional healthcare, engineering and high technology make up a pretty huge chunk of small businesses and in a lot of cases it's literally illegal to
not hire people with post-secondary.
Would rather work with an entitled Collage Educated person than have a manager who blames his employees for being unhappy with their ****ty jobs and low pay.
The new generation is "better" because it's
hard for them to get experience. Beggars can't be choosers.
The last generation had the freedom to pick the job they wanted to take. Sorry to break it to you dude, but the reason they didn't pick you is because you suck.
Loyalty is earned, fuckwad. Give employees a reason to stick around and they will. Are you really dumb enough to think these new kids would act any differently if a better job came along? You aren't offering them anything.
NOBODY HAS QUIT SINCE 2008. THAT MEANS OUR HIRING PRACTICES ARE EFFECTIVE.
CORRELATION IMPLIES CAUSATION, I LEARNED THIS IN STATICS CLASS.
