Employer Hiring Procedures

 

Employers are looking for the best employees they can find which makes sense but in a lot of cases it is pretty obvious, although no provable, that they are looking for the best young inexperienced people to hire so they can pay them as little as possible.

I for instance have applied for over 300 positions which I have well over a decade of very successful experience in and everyone one of them did not even bother to reply to me.

I am beginning to build a list to send to the EEOC at the Federal Government to file charges against everyone who does that going forward.

In many cases refusing to hire experienced employees is actually age discrimination.

I will no longer tolerate this since it is immoral, unethical and inappropriate and causes serious damage to millions of people looking for work.

Every single time an employer hires someone else you should get detailed feedback about why you were not chosen.

The fact that no feedback is ever given is in my opinion proof that they are discriminating because if they don’t give you the reason in writing you can’t prove it.

Things Are Getting Pretty Darned Expensive Which Hurts Those of Us That Make Far Less Money Now Than We Did 12 Years Ago Even Though We are Doing The Same Thing.

 

I find it very offensive that prices in general are still going up pretty fast in a lot of cases even though salaries are barely moving and in a lot of cases actually going down.

There are far too many companies out there that have put policies in place that set a lot of employees up to fail and be let go so they can then hire new people and pay an even lower starting salary even though the companies in general are making profits that are so much larger that lower salaries are just obscene.

Congress and the President really need to put in place a law that make it illegal for anyone in a company to make more than say 100 times more than their lowest paid employees.

There are way to many companies where CEOs are making well over 1000 times what the lowest paid employees are making. I wonder of they are proud of that?

Companies should absolutely make money and CEOs should certainly be paid the most but when you consider that productivity per employee on the average has climbed dramatically over the last several decades but their salaries have either not climbed or in many cases have gone down.

Not every single employee is worth an extraordinary salary because not all are great but very many are great or very good and should be paid decently.

For instance I am not paid a ton of money. I make almost 5 dollars an hour less today than I did over 12 years ago which is disgusting. It would also be pretty darned nice if todays companies would actually hire and pay based on experience. It is obscene to go into a company with well over a decade of experience with the same type of job and started at a salary that is less than what you started at over 10 years earlier.

It just needs to be made illegal to set employees up for failure so you can keep pay rates obscenely low. I am not the lowest paid person but I have been forced into bankruptcy which means I have now lost my house. I am moving into a very nice small home but the rent is going to be around 48% of my take home pay which will make things not terribly easy although the bankruptcy has ended some of the things I owe people but it should be illegal to pay people so little that the average rent is over 30% of their take home pay.

Corporations

Has it occured to anyone that most large corporations are now becoming the Robber Barons of old? It was disregard for the workers and pay rates that were not capable of sustaining a realistic way of life that brought the unions to power.

I am not advocating unions because I have been a union member and, at least in the case of the place I was working at the time, the union did nothing but take dues. That being said I can see a revolt of workers coming. The problem with this is that the corporations will just thumb their noses at us and offshore the work.

I am not making a rant against outsourcing because there is absolutely a legitimate use for it.

What I see coming is that the CEOs of the large corporations are making this country backslide into a developing nation again. We were at one time the greatest nation on earth and everyone wanted to live here so they could have the American Dream.

The American Dream now is the ability to be able to put food on the table and a roof over your families head. Not too many people are looking at the old dream of a house with a yard and several children because no one can afford it anymore.

Does anyone at all besides me see a problem when the CEO of a company makes over 1000 times what the front line workers that do all the work are paid?

I certainly see an issue there and hopefully enough people to make a difference also see a problem.

I am truly not pushing socialism but there needs to be a point where people start to stand up and say "Wait a minute. That is just not right!'
