Subject: Re: Wednesday Chat 09.26.18 by TommyT-Bone on 2018/9/26 13:53:11 ha-ha-ha @ Matt and tool time. Placed an ad on craigslist yesterday for employment. Cost $45 and got 7 responses on the first day. 2 are coming in for interviews this morning. She told them come ready to work. Checked out one of the online employment sites yesterday. They give you a week free then charge you $249 a month. That was a little over our head. More for a bigger company with employee turnover. If we get a hire out of it, it was $45 well spent. This is the ad I placed. Casey's Corner Nursery and Landscaping is seeking a general nursery laborer. The job includes but not limited to weeding, potting, transporting, loading, trimming and associated plant nursery operations and tasks. General labor landscaping includes but is not limited to loading, unloading, preparing, digging, lifting, mulching and general tasks associated with landscaping operations. Must read, write and understand English and have a clean criminal history. Work location is outdoors. Must be able to tolerate average Florida weather conditions. Lose so many due to the heat and the fact young folks today are a bunch of fuckin pussies. (No offense intended to those with a pussy) ;) Which brings me to the next subject .... The people of the mid 1800's ( except for the city slickers) were stone hard working stiffs. They were strong and had to do whatever needed to be done to survive. By the late 1800's and early 1900's, labor intensive employment abounded. Again, the men and women were strong doing laborious work at modest wages. All the way through to our generation. Not the people with a work ethic but with others the whining about hard work had begun. The more technologically advanced we have become, the bigger the whining factor. We're at the point now where not many want to do any actual labor. What? You want me to actually work for the money? $12-15 for menial labor is actually fair money in Florida. Especially being a Right to Work state. Housing prices, taxes and cost of living used to be low here. No more. It's been creeping upward.But Homestead, being a farming area, still has a large number of low paying pickers and packers jobs. I could go on all day about the fight to make money in farming but I won't. Ah , my coffee is wearing off and I'm losing my train of thought but you get the picture. |
