Comment on it's a matter of motivation
Zexks@lemmy.world 1 week agoThat half a million is an extreme lowball number based on a single waste management company. And no i dont think you’ll find 10 in every thousand evenly spread that will want to do this for fun. Those half a million people turn over every couple of months with pay and benefits. And this will apply to every industry and every critical need of society. Theres already a massive shortage of medical personelle and that pays better than most of what were discussing. No it just xoesnt scale

I like how your own numbers immediately started to be unreliable the second I used them.
Again, we’re walking in circles because you’all refuse to even acknowledge the argument.
Shitty jobs are shitty because of financial intensives to keep it so. They don’t need to be. We have shortage of sanitation workers because they have to care about “pay and benefits”, and because companies try to pay them less and make them work more so they spend less money on workforce. They hesitate to improve their working environment because there is no “economic incentive” to do so. They don’t do automation because labour is cheaper. All of that are problems caused by revolving all what we do around making profit for shareholders.
We have so much labour that we just waste on people doing bullshit with the ultimate goal of the imaginary line going up. Obviously if we keep that, we don’t get people to do other work, all the people are overworked to death and also for some reason starving and struggling.
They have shortage of medical personnel despite them being rewarded with a bunch of money, and then you turn around and say that if we don’t do financial stick and carrot, we will have shortage of workers. Do you not see the obvious problem with this logic?
