They just go out and find better jobs. It's that simple.
Here are some examples of that:
I heard about one woman in my neck of the woods who made $3,000 doing Uber last month.
When I go grocery shopping there are less shoppers and more Instacart workers. Their carts are filled to the brim Supermarket Sweepstakes style lol! Their cars are loaded to the ceiling.
I know a few people in their early 20s that worked in food services...
One left minimum wage at Popeyes to work at a gym for $17 p/h. Now she wants to leave the gym. Appliying for $18+ p/h. Interviewed at a salon and a montessori school for example.
Another used to work for Dunkin'. She left for better pay and hours to work at a nursery school. She also picks up hours at a dentist's office assisting with this and that.
Another mentioned they hate coming home smelling like the food and after years of it will never do it again. He went into an entry-level beer distribution sales job.
Another scored a job in real estate. Didn't like it. Scored a job at AT&T Wireless. Didn't like it. Now he's at the superintendent's office in an admin position through a contact he knew.
Another came up with the idea to highlight all their high school swim club experience to leave a minimum wage job to work as a lifeguard. They are at an indoor water park w/higher pay.
Another was formerly incarcerated and over 60 years old. Used to do kitchen work. He bought a pressure washer with what very little money he had left to his name, put flyers out and scored a bunch of jobs. In his free time he's been picking coconuts off trees and selling them to Asian immigrants at nail salons who love whole coconuts. Not even kidding. He also offers to refinish peoples' weather-beaten front doors in a day. All the work is done outside so there's no disruption to their home. They don't have to let him inside. And they love the results.
People are tired of the BS and they are out there hustling and job jumping until they feel comfortable!
I never job jumped, but I do notice the younger generation especially - they don't feel bad about it.
When people say "no one wants to work" it reminds me of all the excuses people come up with when someone doesn't want to date them or ghosts them lol.
In a lot of the cases the answer is "Oh they are working! They're just not that into [your company]." And some businesses aren't understanding that any more than someone in "dating land" doesn't get it.
BTW Disney Food Blog quoted Bob Chapek's mentioning they are still short on kitchen staff as of last week's earnings call.
