Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 4.3 million quit jobs in August

I guess I am fired as of December 8 according to Penn State announcement today.

Damn, sorry to hear!

It’s gonna be interesting. They set this plague on us to fuuuck Trump. It’s gonna fuuuck them too.

Not to worry, our newest illegal citizens from south of the boarder will take those jobs at a third of what the others were being paid.

It's still early, he can [bleep] this country a lot worse in 3 more years if he makes it that far.

This is exactly what they are doing.

i should have said food service. not sure if the numbers in that study include that.

all over around here businesses are closing, cutting hours and services due to not being able to get workers. i have never seen this before in my life.

There is no question that people have left the “service” jobs across the country.

Sad but true

Everything is fine.

Get your shots.

Let’s go Brandon!

Who is they ?

My grandson quit a job during that time frame. He quit for a better paying job with better benifits. I wonder how they count people like him. He is twenty three, I am not sure what people of that generation are labeled. They aren't boomers for sure.

I wonder how they count people that were terminated.

Unemployed without checks from the state employment dole society.

Wife and I wanted to "stimulate the local economy" Saturday evening. Called the local Italian place, we wanted to go have dinner there. Nope, not serving inside, take out only. Decided that would work. Wife got the pasta primavera. I wanted the baked penne. Nope, no penne pasta, distributor doesn't have any, we can make it with linguini. Ha, not for this fellow. OK, I'll go for linguini with red clam sauce. Nope, no clams either. WTF. OK, give me some noodles with spicy salciccia (sausage).

Get there to pick it up, talk to the gal working. It's not the Corona protocols stopping dining in, they can't find the help. She's the only waitress and said "I can't work all day seven days a week by myself"

In Oregon the other day for a Dr appt. Went to the falafel place. Guy told me he can't get his normal gyro stuff for the vertical rotisserie from his Chicago distributor. So I asked about hiring. He said he runs an ad, gets folks come in, then THEY TELL HIM WHEN THEY CAN WORK, not vice versa. "I can work Mon, Tue, and Fri from 11 -3". So he's running shorthanded.

Paint contractor buddy and another guy who works at the local casino have told me the same type of stories.

Sure glad I'm retired, as I don't have to deal with those kind of folks now.

But, the world is sure a different place than when I grew up.

I must be a whining Boomer?

Same thing for me Saturday.


‘Cept at Popeyes.


Doors were locked. Drive thru only.

Fugg me. Cant eat fried shicken in car.


Squealed the wheels and went to Jimmy John’s.

Build Back Better. Anybody think it’s better?

i would think that in board rooms across america, fast food execs are planning on how to convert all their stores to drive through only permanently. when you think about it, it makes real good sense. smaller stores, less staff and no dealing with Quaneshia coming over the counter with her floppy tits and smelly ass hanging out when she doesn't get her way.

Yeah, our sketties came in those plastic clamshell goodies.

Nowhere near as appetizing as on a real plate, at a table with a checkered cloth and a candle in an old Chianti bottle.
