Had models that couldn't crack a smile rather a no show.

Usually it is in case when they apply for multiple jobs and they already got one or multiple having interview at the same time.

Or get a job and start calling out immediately?

I see this quite a bit.

I did it once about 40 years ago, I went and got a job as a cook at at 24 hour please.

I just couldn't do it man I couldn't go pull the shift. I went down to South Texas instead and got a job as a iron worker.

I get that. I worked at an Applebee's for like a month, probably would have been easier on my employer and me if I quit sooner.

If you hire for low wage on Thursday and tell them to start on Monday then they get a better offer on Friday, they no show for you.

The lower the skill needed/pay for the job, the more this happens.

Probably just too lazy and waiting for another stimulus check..

**CurrentlySober** · 12-22-2021, 01:21 AM

Back when I was claiming 'Benefits' - (Free Money for doing fuck all) - Part of the deal was that I had to apply for at least 3 jobs a week...

But that was all I had to do to fulfill my obligations... 'APPLY'...

There was nothing that said I had to attend an interview or actually get the job... Just 'Apply' and my free money kept coming in the mail...

ah, Maybe that is why. I didn't understand why so many people at work were filling out applications and not showing up.

I will see the same name applying through different temp companies. But they never show.

Since 2015 was owner operator of a snow removal and landscaping company until November 1, this year! Can't find labor @ $30/ hours

!
Before @ $15/ hour, i would have a list of 30 guys within 3 hours of posting my wanted ad.

Liability went through the Roof ( No claim 300% increase ) ..... Many like me Just Closed shop and moved on......
WCB (worker compensation board) 2 years ago was ($1.25/ each $100) paid to workers now ($4.25/ each $100)

Maintenance, parts for equipment have Doubled in rates......... etc... Not interesting anymore......

Why a labor would come to do hard work when now an Amazon delivery guy is making $200 / $300 per day ( average $20 - $30/ hours ) dropping package on doorstep and taking pictures of deliveries....

The reality is The world is moving in another direction and Hard work is not planned.

well if that is the case where you are, then that will be it. having to apply for jobs is almost actually like a bit of work, but register with a temp agency (With zero intent of ever taking a job) and have them apply for the jobs on your behalf, is a stroke of genius.

It depends on the job, I suppose

**TaiGhost** · 01-21-2022, 12:27 AM

So they can show unemployment office and other gov agencies they are looking for a job maybe.

**$5 submissions** · 01-24-2022, 03:20 PM

It goes both ways, many people post help wanted ads and never reply
