58 is a good age to retire. The last thing a working person is going to consider retiring is the well being of the company. Retire as soon as possible is the mantra of 99 percent of people.
Of course you don't regret it nor should you. You did your time and worked. Now life becomes more enjoyable. You don't owe the company or nation more work because some job or two is open.Where I worked (as I said, I understand anecdotal examples are only so good) used to have jobs one could bid on as one got older. Day jobs in the lab, QC day jobs. The company either did away with those jobs or contracted them out.
As you get older it becomes harder and harder to work 12 hour rotating shift jobs. So we packed it in. I don't regret it for a second.
/-----/ I grew up in the Textile Belt of South Carolina. Those manufacturers worked hard to keep the environment clean. The triple whammy of taxes, labor laws, and overburdening environmental laws told them if they wanted to survive, they had to relocate. I lived through it - did you?Are you aware of the air quality in those countries? Drinking water quality? It's horrible. Is that what you want? If we got rid of all regulations imagine what American industry would wantingly and willingly do. Toxify everything more than they have now.
The shortage is because baby boomers like myself said screw it and retired. Anecdotal examples are pretty worthless (even though you seem to enjoy them) but when I retired in 2020 at 58, quite a few of us retired in our 50's around the same time.
I made enough to live without working and decided that a better option than making sure I had a new car every couple years.
The job I hired into in 1995 no longer exists as it did in 1995. It's still a better job than McD's but when I was hired there was 4 mechanics per day (2 on each shift). When I left there was 1 and a floater per day. One on day shift and one that floated between buildings on nights. When I was hired there was 2 supervisors per shift. When I left there was none.
The job I initially worked is now a contracted out job. They did their best to move my job to China but did end up failing at it.
I can support people having to work to get some assistance if their wages are low. One can't live a good life on a low wage.
Has anyone in the thread done the actual math? McDonald's has about 200k employees. If they paid the ceo zero dollars, each McDonald's employee would get an extra $37.
Bite me.The issue is not just what the CEO get's paid. The issue is thousands and thousands demand to get paid more and more every year that do not flip a single burger.
The issue is "shareholder value" and the demand for record profits year in and year out.
The CEO makes the incredibly high salary by seeing that the employee gets less and those not even working there get more.

Start your own company genius. Pay $100K to all.Having companies pay a fair wage to their employees is making them dependent on the government?
I know you guys are retards and one must make allowance but seriously, do you guys think before posting?
And you retards wonder why people laugh at you.
The shortage is on the low-end, even though employers are offering $17 and $18 an hour. Unskilled people with no education have discovered they can bring in more by turning down an honest day’s work and instead living off of other people’s money.The shortage is because baby boomers like myself said screw it and retired.

How about if they keep their wages lower and don't hire?Yeah, that's kind of why companies hire CEOs. The manager of a baseball team doesn't go and play the outfield. The owner of a football team doesn't become a linebacker. CEOs don't go to the kitchen and flip burgers.
Yes, companies find labor for the cheapest possible price. If they can't find that labor they have to increase their offers. If your IRA has McDonald's shares as part of your portfolio, you want them to get the best return on your money as possible.
Sure. But you didn't answer the question. How is paying an employee fair wages making them dependent on the government?Start your own company genius. Pay $100K to all.
Who is forcing people to take jobs?Forcing peoe to take these jobs is not good. These jobs don't need workers. It IS that simple.
If the state sets that as a minimum wage, how will they hire people for less?How about if they keep their wages lower and don't hire?
The bacon cheeseburger at Wendy's is now $9.00. you need to get out more,No. That's wrong and a lie you've been fed.
COMPETITION dictates prices on the sales side just as it does on the labor side.
Raise your prices and, unless there is an accompanying increase in quality, people go elsewhere.
They, owners and management, want you to scare you about labor costs but their intent is to maximize profits at the cost of quality and you are helping.
Why does a bacon cheeseburger at "five guys" cost $10 while the same burger at Wendys is $6?
Perceived quality of product and service.
FG pays its lowest people a buck more an hour than wendys
Who works for $7.25 an hour? Not a single person I know.For 7.25 an hour why are you surprised?
