And the sign said
“Long-haired freaky people
Need not apply”
So I tucked my hair up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why
He said, “You look like a fine upstandin’ young man
I think you’ll do”
So I took off my hat and said, “Imagine that
Huh, me workin’ for you”
Whoa

Sign, sign
Everywhere a sign
Blockin’ out the scenery
Breakin’ my mind
Do this, don’t do that
Can’t you read the sign?

As someone who identifies as long haired freaky person, this makes me smile!
I may just apply – where is this business?

Ha. That’s good.

The second they throw it in a bun…FIRED!!

First done by the Five Man Electrical Band and, in my opinion, PERFECTED by the rock band Tesla in their Five Man Acoustical Jam live performance.

Tesla still tours, is amazing live and is one of the most under-rated rock acts of the last 40 years. Their talent exceeded most of the other acts the mid-late 80s and glad to see they had the longevity that many of those bands thankfully did not.

Sign’s, sign’s, everywhere signs.

I spent most of my time on the Group W bench………….

Woops, hit submit before I thought – wrong song – was thinking Alice’s restaurant ,- probably post-vaccine fatigue or something……………

I love a good sense of humor

Imagine that…me working for you.

might as well add “long hair freaky people with manbuns”

Aaron Rogers … manbun poster child.

The Hiring shortage is so bad that everyone hired didn’t show up for work on their first day of scheduled work.

There is a hiring shortage/worker shortage so what do the politicians do? They create a 1 trillion dollar plan that creates good paying jobs for american workers.You cant make this stuff up…

Finally after all these years I can get a REAL job!!!

Man buns aside. I remember when I was in my 20s, there were elite manufacturing jobs paying high wages and full benefits…but only IF you could get in. Back then you had to know someone. Other jobs were bare bone wages and the attitude from employers was “you don’t like it? There’s the door. There’s five others willing to take your place”. Now the shoe is on the other foot. After years with the workforce having taxes and inflation outpace the raises, if any, for a net loss, and benefits being cut left and right, the hens are coming to roost. I have no sympathy for business as a whole, they’ve had none for most workers for decades.

Self check-outs, self serve gasoline, $15 per hour wages, have all contributed to the lack of entry level jobs. When the fast food restaurants all cross over to drive thru only or close where are your kids going to learn to work? Entry level jobs are required for both the workforce and the employers.

Help wanted signs all over the place. The baby boom generation is aging out of being in the workforce, it’s called retirement, and they worked their entire adult lives for it. But they still need everything from a McDonalds cheeseburger to a new car. Consumerism is at an all time high, but production is suffering. Too many Queens, not enough worker bees.

Speaking of hiring, my granddaughter on the right, her mom, my daughter on the left at her college grad open house today. She graduated from st cloud state yesterday with a teaching degree and already has a job!!

We do have a society where manual labor is taught to be the product of misfortune. If we are taught not to value something, we shouldn’t be surprised now those jobs are hard to fill.

This is true. But still, where is everybody?? Even gas stations and fast food joints are shutting down earlier and earlier everyday around here because of the shortage. And they are offering like 16-18 an hour now! Also didn’t they stop the stimulus payments a while back now? Just can’t wrap my head around it

I think it’s because not as many people are workimg multiple jobs anymore. Partially because if wages are higher they don’t need to anymore and partially because people have reevaluated their priorities in the last year.

A lot of professional women have found out how wonderful it is to stay home with your kids…just like mom did post WW2 era. Jobs are paying more, and dads are able to provide better too. To me that’s kind of the way it should be instead of strangers and teachers are raising your kids while mom and dad work insane hours. Bring on the technology and robots to fill the mundane repetitive jobs.

I don’t see how automated ordering kiosks at fast food joints and self serve checkouts are doing anything to create good workers.

Either that or people have found out how much they can make staying home. A family of 5 can get the equivalent of $40,000 a year government programs by staying home and no child care. Plus they can get up to $3,600 per child under 6 years old and $3,000 for ages 7 to 17 advance tax credits add that to the other programs heck of a good living for doing nothing plus healthcare. Who would work with everything covered.
