Little by little the DEI and ESG laden boats will slow down and one by one they’ll sink like the enormous fecal matter buckets they are.
I’d rather run my small business 100% the way I want than get a few bucks to hire Incompetent and Mr. Excuses to sit around and poison the rest of the company.

I work in a somewhat high-end fabrication plant. Some of the first level assemblies require relatively little skill, so we hired a whole batch of temps.
We thought we could attract good ones by offering about $5 more per hour than the going rate for assembly work, and we still got a lot of trash.
We hired 60 with the intention of keeping 30 after training and a month of evaluation time. Very diverse, with plenty of urban youth. Three months later only 10 of them are still with us, and they're genuinely smart men and women who aspire to fully functional adults who want to build a career.
We usually completely turn over half of our employees every 9 months. Granted, all high school kids, but the lack of care and work ethic is astonishing.
I blame the parents who’d make excuses when their kids call off. Talk about leading by example👎
I've noticed that there appears to be a growing gulf in Gen Z between the kids with work ethics and the kids without. It's like watching a cultural split of the functional human beings vs the entitled parasites.
The teenagers I see working at the grocery store, movie theater, and various other retail and fast food jobs remind me of my Gen X experience as a teenager in the early 90s. We didn't want to work, but we also didn't want to be broke and bored sitting at home. Mom and dad told us if we wanted spending money we had to get a job.
So we showed up, mostly did our jobs to the satisfaction of our adult managers, who were often only a couple of years older than us, and used our paychecks to buy clothes, go to concerts, pay for gas and car insurance, and enjoy our lives.
The 19-21 year olds we're seeing hitting the general labor pool who didn't work during high school are fucking atrocious. They don't want to be there and they definitely don't want to work at all. They're not going to college, they're not developing any skills, and they seem comfortable merely existing. Asking them to do even basic stuff gets met with reluctance and complaints. I want to ask them "Do you have any intention of being useful at any point in your life, or are you just going to keep being this shitty version of you that apparently your parents thought was good enough?" Naturally, I'm conscious of the fact that HR exists, so I refrain from asking them.
Remember the youth of today are a product of the childhood vaccination regime = brain damaged.
My son was not vaccinated, had the highest school leaving result in our region. Started full-time employment 2 weeks after finishing school so he can save a nest-egg to go to university. He's had a job since he was 14 and pays for his "things", I provide food and shelter only. (But I'm still a nice Mum 😌)
I have. Again, I think it’s the parents’ failure rather than than the 16 year olds who want to have Saturday off and call off 15 min before their shift… monkey see monkey do
More likely, they are trying to figure out which is more diverse and accessible to people of color. They have hired a leftist NGO to do a $12MM report on the issue.
Yessir!

Yeah, nah!

It seems to have gotten worse since the covid abomination.
Have you noticed that?

Damn. Excellent comment!

Agree
What's baffling to me is how tedious this bullshit is.
It'd be like having the oldest version of Internet Explorer and keeping 3815 tabs open... all the time.
You ever try to function on any government website? It runs exactly like that! 😄
They're probably just now switching from Dewey Decimal to DOS.
Nah. They're considering "studying the feasibility" of converting Dewey Decimal to DOS.
