- The United States is seeing its highest “quit rate” since the government started keeping track two decades ago. Bill Whitaker speaks with employers who are scrambling to find help and people who left their jobs and aren’t looking back.
"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

Most employers expect loyalty, but offer none in return.
True.
Truth
Now that’s such a true statement. They expect one way loyalty. Now the tables have turned now they’re at the mercy of their employees…..💯
@s b Not really, these are predominantly job sectors that are rolling towards automation in the coming decade. The larger corporation stand to benefit the most from this as labor shortage stands as justification to slip over potential legislative hurdles regarding automation.
Another huge issue with all of this is minimum wage raising! I'm LIVID WHEN min wage goes up! Guys! Just like they how don't care about you, they don't care if it goes up! They just raise everyone ( even newcomers ) to the same wage! Then they raise managements income, store prices, and taxes. YOU'RE LITERALLY JUST AS BROKE BUT ALL YOUR HARD WORK EARNING RAISES GOES OUT THE WINDOW. THINK PEOPLE THINK.
We need a BETTER, MORE PERMANENT way to boost "low skilled" incomes. How about 🤭... get this. A LOYALTY REWARD SYSTEM THAT REWARDS EMPLOYEES WHO'VE WORKED THE HARDEST AND BEEN THERE THE LONGEST.
More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.
The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.
I've worked in retail for 20 years, so I'm quite happy that this is taking place. For too long, retail bullied me and a lot of my employees, telling us things like, "If you don't like it, go; another like you is waiting to get into your position." Since the virus, I've found a dream job that helps me grow, pays me more, and values me!
This is what happens when employers underpay and disrespect their staff. Fortunately, many people discovered excellent business ideas during the pandemic that allowed them to work from home.
The majority of this new generation loves working from home and prefers to be their own boss..
What dream job, can you share?
Just as you stated, I've been working in retail for the past two years, but I intend to stop shortly so that I can pursue dropshipping.
I work for an IT department, after the virus they required a mandatory vaccination for all staffs which lead to many quitting their jobs.
Went to school for a year to learn web design, then found out that companies wanted to pay me $10 an hour to design and code - two different skill sets. Why don't you do a series on how people are forced to live on little pay and few hours. People are tired of being abused for peanuts.
Get with a better tech company
$10 an hour? I think even Starbucks pays $15 an hour!
$10 an hour is a disgrace!
Lmao 😂 you're absolutely right
🥜 peanuts stupid greedy peanuts that are hanging themselves 😂loosing good workers
Creating web pages and writing software... Are two completely different skill sets!
It’s also that they won’t hire anyone all they do is give you a interview and they expect us to be happy about that? It’s like they don’t care and yet they cal us lazy but they don’t know how hard we try to find work this country is a sham it’s not what we were taught they make us work and for what???
It's not a lack of employee problem, it's a lack of respect and pay problem.
Exactly and thank you!
Companies act like they can't pay workers more than $10/hr, but then pay the CEO $50 million whether he does a good job or not.
In the same sense there's a lack of work ethic as well.
It is difficult to find good help that is self motivated and eager to work. Many just want the paycheck without putting in the work.

I've worked in the food industry since I was 16, I am 30 now. I've never been offered a management position or any other kind of supervisory role so I opened my own restaurant in 2020. I got tired of being overlooked so I took my fellow co-workers and gave them a job at my restaurant with great pay, great benefits and I really did for them what my former jobs refused to do which is giving them "respect". So far I've had not one employee leave my business.
I love this so much!
Awesomeness brotha what city you in ATL?
You're the man. Mad respect
Salute to you, I hope to follow suit in my own work affairs.
Do you threaten them to get lethal injection or get fired?
I think a big part of the dissatisfaction with employers is that most of them do not fully understand what their employees actually do and how they do it. They assign unreasonable and unrealistic goals that frustrate their people because they don’t understand what it takes to accomplish those goals.
100 percent agree! Should be top comment. Disrespectful management.
That happens when inexperienced managers are hired who never worked their way up. it is like a poker game. the richest people get the best jobs because they can bluff you every round at the table.
that’s spot on! no boss really knows what a subordinate goes through and the level of workload they deal with on routine basis. And they just disrespectfully add more and more tasks. It’s crazy!
Macys was good for assigning unrealistic goals so they didn’t have to give pay raises. They underpaid me by $8000
That's why I like the show undercover boss. I think more bosses should do that, since it can help show them what it is like for employees on a day-to-day basis.
Edit: but they have care enough to try something like that + so many don't.😢
They missed one of the biggest pieces of this entire issue. Toxic work place behaviour/environments. People are being fed up with being treated like garbage by their employers so they leave. Those that leave are among the most courageous people. They are taking the power away from their abusers and saying "No More!"
My boss is still being an entitled Karen telling me to be flexible but at the same time asking me if I will run away from this job 🙄 I’m gonna surprise her and pull the rugs below her feet when she least expects it!
This was very business owner friendly content, meanwhile a lot of these people absolutely hate their bosses and work environment for various reasons, heck bad management resignations is a statistic i'd love to have.
I quite in July 2020 and it was ONLY because of this reason. I was tired of the humiliation. Iived on savings and found a better and kinder environment. Getting paid more is just an added bonus.
@@scubatiressd9994 wow! Can you give me some tips on how you found a kinder environment?
Yes especially the younger generations. They know about toxicity and abuse. We won't stand for it. I worked as an elementary school teacher and the administration were bullies!
1.) Not enough compensation
2.) Power crazed managers with psychological problems who treat staff like sh***
3.) Companies that expect staff to do the work of 3-5 people.
FACTS
Yep!
All facts.
I agree. All of the above. Why I quit my job in november
Spot on!
I'm a senior citizen that recently applied for a job (65 applications)! Out of 65, I was offered 1 interview which I attended but did not get the job. I am college educated, but feel very much undervalued because of my age. Some of us want to work but can't find an employer to hire us.
You should be retired at 65! Why do you want a job - it's your time to relax!

American workers are experiencing unprecedented declines in their real incomes, which is why record numbers have been forced to work multiple jobs to make ends meet. When we talk about 9.1% inflation, the media acknowledged the true rate of inflation of about 18%?
U.S inflation hit 7% in December, fastest pace since 1982 . Consumer prices in Germany rose by 3.1% in 2021 . France shows a 12 -months inflation rate of 3.4% the highest since September 2008.

Until you've worked in retail or dealt with the public, you'll never have a clue about how stressful it is dealing with arrogant, self absorbed, holier than thou, egotistical, self entitled people. And then there's the managers who treat you the same way.
customers have gotten WORSE. i work service, & sometimes it not even worth it for the amount im paid just to deal with disgusting people
Correct.
PREACH IT!!

This is a piece about Workers but it doesn’t interview a single worker? And this piece doesn’t address the fact that most Americans feel their employers don’t really care about their interests.
The chick with 4 jobs... is that not a worker?
Yep...elitist perspective of blue collar workers who had their backs stomped on during the Pandemic. These were Frontline workers not paid extra while everyone was home collecting while they risked their lives
Yah, everyone in this interview was part of the "Professional Managerial Class". They think they can fool all of us by having them all be POC's? Feels like being in the Matrix honestly.
I find it weird they make it seem as though workers have the power. Top 1% have 43 trillion in wealth while the bottom 50% own 3 trillion. The bottom 50 are the workers lol
@@thebreadtable4880 that's actually the only power we have left...and yes, it's more powerful than the 1%. If we don't work, they lose.
People are tired of employers low pay, high taxes, not being treated well, it's about time people stood up.
I walked out on some jobs that were toxic. It was great.
I remember struggling to work with a severe case of strep. 105⁰ fever, couldn't eat, couldn't sleep and, given my ill health, I wasn't able to think clearly at all. Yet I had to go in to my job in which I was responsible for children because my boss didn't take me seriously when I said I was sick. This is just an example, there are more. Started my own business during covid and haven't looked back.
It is criminal that the us isn't able to guarantee even one paid sick day
Exactly. I had a bad case of period periods and my woman boss chased me to the bathroom and questioned me. She didn't believe really bad period pains exist.
I quit my job December 2021 after starting my own business in Dec 2020. My office job was toxic with low pay. My manager and middle manager were both lazy. No recognition when you performed well, but definitely received feedback when you made a mistake.
Seems like this is the new norm in a lot of career fields. Do well, great! Only silence…. Something goes wrong, immediately you are to blame. 🤦🏻♂️
Good luck on your business venture 🎉👍👍
That seems to be a pattern
I quit my job because someone I worked with died on the floor at work. The company gave everyone 30 minuets off... 30 minuets... And then everyone was told to get back to work. That employee had been there for 15 yrs. I've since started my own business and never been happier. Companies want us to break our backs for them but want to treats us like expendable garbage. Given a choice, why would anyone want to work for that?
A rothschild once said we dont want a country of thinkers, we want a country of workers!!’
So good for you!!
As workers, we deserve better for the things we go through! Everybody hiring but not hitting at the same time🔥🔥🔥 I’m trying to get my subscribers up too💯 keep it going ❤️ and happy New year🎆
Oligarchs run USA. Capitalism and comunism are bad for the planet. We should upgrade our system
@@007h13 What is a system you think could work?
"Minuets".. Is that French for seconds?
Having worked in retail, hospitality, and other service-sector jobs, none of this is surprising to me. It's not a worker problem, it's an employer problem. Employers want robots, not workers.
Just gets to show people are getting more and more greedy. Problem is when they become owners and politicians.
I somewhat agree
Even 40 hrs at 15 an hour doesn't pay most people rent, taxes, groceries
Yeah you say that funny enough guess what you’re gonna actually be replaced by said robot
Employers wish they could replace you with robots be a lot more cheaper
It will keep increasing if they don't increase workers wages. Most times it amaze me greatly the way I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years to doubt that opportunities are bound in the financial markets, The only thing is to know where to focus.
The decision to invest is an acknowledgment that it comes with certain risks. Not all investments will do well and some may lose money. However, without risk, there would be no opportunity to potentially earn the higher returns that can help you grow your wealth.
@Queen OF Love That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like *Mr Tony Alin berker* my coach, you may have come across him on interviews relating to bitcoin. He trades, manage trading account and offer mentorship program for clients who wish to become professional investors.
Wow I can't believe you guys are discussing about *Mr Tony Alin berker* , I once met him at a conference in California 2019, just before the pandemic. I can testify that is very good in trading..Highly recommended.
@@nyreggie This is the Fourth time I'm seeing someone talk about Mr Tony Alin berker as there are a lot of testimonies about him, do you know him ? if yes , did you invest with him ?

I was looking for a job. Got an interview but they complained I haven't worked for a while so they didn't want to hire me.
Like geez I wonder why places are understaffed. People are looking for jobs but employers just don't want them and now they are crying and whining about not having enough employees.
Well as we mentioned on here.. a good number of managers don’t want to hire people that are smarter then they are.
They are seriously ignoring the fact that people are quitting because the average workspace is hostile to mental and/or physical health and yet doesn't pay enough to live on.
Exactly Kanani!!!! That's why I left!
They're willfully ignoring it. It's all optics and narrative shaping.
Definitely. But then, WHAT ARE they Living on with no income? ✨ That's my biggest wonder
Of course, its easier to ignore the actual issue. 🙄
And the worst part of it all is the amount of time you have to spend on these jobs. The average employee works nearly everyday, all day because it's the only way they'll get somewhat of a decent check. You're at work more than you're at home.
There's no "Worker" shortage.
There's "Good Wage" shortage and "Healthy Work Environment" shortage and "Respectful Employer" shortage.
Exactly!
Absolutely. The Great Resignation should be renamed to the Great Awakening. People recognizing and knowing their worth and standing up for it.
Im not from the US.. Is the living cost really that high.. Whats your minimum wage.

The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies.
I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate or bitcoin and stocks.

60 minutes should do a real story on the criminality of the property tax and how it is destroying affordable housing and causing families to lose their homes.
and its also part of the reason rents going up sky high..also look at all the waste of funds being used for nonsense groups promoting their "awareness days"for every topic,take a look how many employees,management,board members getting paid with grants and funding(that can be used instead to help people pay their bills)these groups do absolutely nothing but pass you another phone number to call.
I quit my job about 4 months back. I was working sixteen hours a day six days a week. Making really good money. Unfortunately my dad passed away and my job did not want to give me time off. I decide for my mental health and we'll being to leave the job. They tried to convince me to stay but I knew they didn't care about me at all. It was in my best interest to leave.
Wow! You did what you had to. May your dad rest in paradise. Lost my dad as well..No Job should be that careless
Don't work hard, work smart.
Wow, you have my condolences. How dare they not give you time to grieve. Good for you to move on.
My condolences. Glad you decided to put yourself first.
Your one and only father died and they would not give you time off from work... Why? Was the timing bad for your boss? We're you supposed to tell your Dad that he needed to die at a more convenient time so as not to disrupt the work deadlines? That's the definition of heartless. You did right leaving them.
Employers spent years after the 2008 crash just stripping everything from employees: benefits, reasonable hours, pay increases (even for inflation) -- it's been disgusting. And when the pandemic hit, employers didn't even care if people died. And now they have the nerve to call people lazy. 😠
This is so true!
Preach!
100 percent true. All workers deserve fair wages and dignity. Great post!
True
I’ve literally seen a man die on the production floor and they didn’t stop the line, they left him laying there dead till the ambulance came & they kept working. The poultry industry is vicious
I will say, when I worked in a grocery store during the heart of the pandemic. It would annoy me that people were bring home more money staying at home, then what I made a week in the frontline of covid. I thought of quitting for that reason.
good point, but the reality is ther e is always somewhere out there who will be making more money
@@tropicalbeach9225 the difference is one is working and the other is not in their point. Not both working and one making more.
@@GW-gz8jh I understand, but there can also be people out there who never will work and they have more money than most of us through allowance, inheritance, lottery winnings, disability/social security checks, or they just get paid to sit on their butts!
I quit my job because I was expected to work 16 - 26 hours (yes, I realize that 26 is longer than an actual day) long in an extremely nice hotel as a restaurant manager.
My venue was the most profitable square footage of the entire hotel, not too far from all the “attractions” in Orlando.

@@heythave it made me thinner and yes, I was happy about that!!
It really amazes me that employers still don’t understand that if you take care your people they’ll take care of you tenfold… amazing
You get out of a workplace what you put into it. 90% of the time.
@@daveyt4802 This used to be true, 90%. Unfortunately, it's no longer the case. There is rarely any reward for loyalty anymore at most regular jobs. Employers get upset when they have a high turnover rate yet provide little to no incentive to retain their employees. There's a reason every generation after the Baby Boomer generation holds a significantly higher amount of jobs throughout their lifetime. Expectation of high output with no tangible reward.

I was one of the workers laid off on 2020 which is not the way I thought that year would go. I was provided severance and had started saving money prior to COVID just in case bc I had been laid 3x before this. So thankful for my time off bc I was so burnt out. I thought I took my time I’m finding a new position but it’s slowly turning into the same nightmare. If you are not working don’t let anybody force you or make you feel guilty about not jumping back into the workforce! Most people are jealous they are not able to do it themselves. I would like to take a more planned break in 2 more years.
I like how they barely bothered asking anyone who _actually left their job_ about why people are resigning, and instead chose to interview employers, business owners, and founders who have no idea what is actually going on
Exactly
Because they look down on regular people. They lump us all as disposable.
They know whats going on.They just won't ever admit it publicly.
They literally talked to a woman who quit her job.
True. It would've been interesting to see the sort of freaks who want to be supported by others.
"Why are workers leaving the workforce? We asked this select group of employers to give their unsolicited opinions on the matter instead of asking actual workers."
Plus they were in South Carolina, one of the most hostile-to-labor States. You can be fired there for all kinds of nonsense that would be illegal elsewhere.
I had zero empathy for the restaurant owner once they showed his place - fully packed, no masks on diners, servers, or even the prep/kitchen staff 😩
@@mandisaw Majority of the states are "at-will employment" states. You can quit for any reason or be terminated for any reason.
@@rpnp2 US is a patchwork, with places having more or fewer labor protections. The "anyone can quit anytime" part applies nationwide - you just usually can't collect unemployment.
But generally Blue states have many more labor rights on the books. From more robust anti-discrimination, to higher minimum wage & paid sick leave. Enforcement & worker-knowledge of their rights are of course another matter.
@@rpnp2 TH-camr I follow did a Worst States for Workers breakdown - th-cam.com/video/ZrPJpJGJX3Q/w-d-xo.html
I remember South Carolina being on that top 10 list.
Those quitting are police, nurses, and other public and military people.
Politicians will NEVER see the truth.
I recently quit my job at Walgreens for the same reason. I was working 40 hours a week for $15 an hour. My manager told me that I would be doing the job of three people. When I said I should be getting paid more than $15 an hour, her response was “You have to earn more than $15 an hour.” Who can afford an apartment on $15 an hour?
I would have said “then $15 an hour for one person now equates to $45 an hour since it’s a three person job I’m expected to put my energy into”
No one is calling it “the big quit” it’s “the great resignation” because a generation of workers are tired of being exploited.
Exploited, harassed and abused

60 Minutes failed to mention AGEISM. So many companies are crying with their databases full of older, experienced, educated, ideal candidates that they refuse to hire. It is highly frustrating and sickening!
This is a fact.
The problem is you go to college and earn a very expensive degree and put in a massive amount of work to do well and then you get out of college and realize you're only gonna make 17 or $18 an hour and you can't survive on that in today's society especially if you have to travel miles to your job pay for your mortgage your car payment water sewage garbage Internet phone food medical and who knows how many other bills
This really isn't that complicated. Employers have given their employees a raw deal with no respect or loyalty. Wages have not kept up with inflation for decades and it is only getting worse. People are recognizing how awful the job markets truly are thanks to the pandemic and are figuring out they can make their own company or find a better job. Companies have focused on their own revenue rather than the ethics and principles they operate on and this is the result. Not to mention how difficult it is for the youth to get off the ground, they see these 'careers' as a dead end paycheck to paycheck life and they are opting out of this broken economy. When people can not afford to buy a home and live a life from their job then they are not going to be loyal to their job. How is this difficult to understand?
Yup honestly I was thinking about this 2
. Me being a young adult In college majoring in computer science. I’m quickly beginning to realize that If I take a job in the it industry,y employer has control of what I say, and what I do, when I work and when I can go on break. And if they don’t like something that I do or respect what I stand for they can just fire me. Which has been happening a lot more in todays society. It’s one of the reason y I’ve decided to just study the stock market and start investing now. So that Ik the future when I do go searching for a job in the computer science industry I don’t have to feel like Any loyalty to a certain company/ organization cause Ik I have something that I can always fall back on. And I think a lot of generation Z are starting to realize that today. THERE Are SO Many Opportunities OUt THERE TO Make MONey If ur Ready to SIT UP and Take advantage of it, instead of having people(employers) m spoon feed u all the way through. I experienced this 2 just dis week where I lost a college job for refusing to come in on a Sunday due to religious reason, I didn’t even fret or bother replying them cause Ik I can make 5 times the amount they were going to pay me from my trade online 🤣. I just wanted to do the job for my own self growth and learning experience. Didn’t make a difference 😂🤷🏾♂️ their loss
word to ur mom. who u got this week? philly or tampa?
Pretty well said. Yep.
A lot of boomers can't understand because they can't relate. That or they just forgot what it was like.

Leading into the pandemic, I was a one-man department and heavily burned out. I asked my employer to keep my position remote, as my productivity was up, and my stress was way down. They declined. Within two weeks, I had found a permanently remote job that paid 60% higher. I’ve never been happier with my employment. My old company? They had to shut down the program I left because they couldn’t replace me, according to my friends who still work there.
Good for yaaaaaa.... hope your coworkers leave too.
Should have accommodated you and they did not. Glad you’re happy
Good for you
Almost did the same, only difference where I work, they were smart enough to keep me and pay my worth and get me help but I feel you 100% Good Job standing up for yourself!

People are tired of abusive corporations who dont share their profits with their employees, who overworked them and underpay them. High health insurance premiums where Health insurance in the US should be abolished because is USELESS. Employees dont get paid sick days, I guess people are sick of the corporate and government abuse. I just can figure out how are the paying their bills if they are not really “working”. How can they buy food? medications? etc.
Here in America employees are guilted for not covering every missed shift, guilted for taking sick days, guilted for taking breaks, guilted for taking a full lunch hour, guilted for taking vacation and when they do take vacation wonder if they have a job when they get back.
All the time!
So true!

When I was 19 forty years ago I worked at the local grocery store and had an apartment at $200 a month. I could work, live and figure out life like a young adult needs to be able to do. My 19 year old son can't do that today even if he worked 60 hours a week making $20hr. Young people can't afford the high cost of renting on low wages. Blame Congress and both parties.

As automation rolls into the labor sectors facing shortages, those companies will probably not care all that much. The large corporations are going to grow exponentially over the next decade.
Another huge issue with all of this is minimum wage raising! I'm LIVID WHEN min wage goes up! Guys! Just like they how don't care about you, they don't care if it goes up! They just raise everyone ( even newcomers ) to the same wage! Then they raise managements income, store prices, and taxes. YOU'RE LITERALLY JUST AS BROKE BUT ALL YOUR HARD WORK EARNING RAISES GOES OUT THE WINDOW. THINK PEOPLE THINK.
We need a BETTER, MORE PERMANENT way to boost "low skilled" incomes. How about 🤭... get this. A LOYALTY REWARD SYSTEM THAT REWARDS EMPLOYEES WHO'VE WORKED THE HARDEST AND BEEN THERE THE LONGEST.
If you don’t have enough workers you RAISE THE PAY until they find it worth it. But these employers are greedy for too long and they feel entitled to cheap labor forever.
If COVID-19 taught you one thing, it's that life is short so go after a better job with less stress & move if you have to. Peace of mind means everything. People in the service industry, receive little respect - know what they go through to get respect.
I believe people realized how bad their employers actually are, when they needed time off to care for children and families. Not enough sick time, paid time off, etc.

There's no such thing as loyalty from a Capitalist. They'll take all of your blood, every single drop and throw your carcass out.
Truth
Employers refuse to train people without experience for jobs that require no experience to easily learn the job. Start respecting your employees and treat them well. They will come.
It's really not that hard to figure out (low pay, poor benefits, bad work environments, unfulfilling jobs) , and even with people coming back it's begrudgingly if they do.
Give people another option, and they will turn on.
I walked away from my job as a industrial mechanic after I was told I was going to be laid off after moving for the company I worked for. They wanted me to stay around and help train the other people before they laid me off. My boss couldn’t believe I did it. I reopened my drain cleaning and plumbing business and I am extremely happy now. One of the things that is happening I believe is people are waking up and realizing they are sick of being beaten down by corporate America.
Congratulations sir with your own business 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 and I'm truly sorry that you went through the tormoil and trauma at your old job. I wish you lots of success with your business and that everything works out smooth and perfect for you! Its really sad that the majority of us who are employed at these regular jobs are overworked and having to do so much to earn an extra dollar. I wish you big success and big clientele to your business 🙏 God bless you and blessings to your business and to your family 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yep corporate elites don't care about the working class they suck them dry
Good for you!!!

Employers are in denial.
Employers expect loyalty from employees. Yet the employer is not loyal to the employee.
Not to mention that employers treat you like a robot 🤖
Not if they won't pay you want you need to feed your family..
🗣
To corporations I say the American worker is not a disposable commodity they are an essential part of you business and should be treated with respect and a decent wage.. if not then you could actually become an extinct company and that’s not good for you nor for them..sending jobs over seas is about as dumb as it gets,..pneople do remember and as time goes you lose your workers and your customers as well
Employers haven’t still learned their lessons as majority of them still gaslight and ghost job applicants. Bunch of psychopaths!
People want paid a livable wage not $15 an hour. They can’t afford health insurance and deductibles and co pays for health care

Walking away from my job was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I was immediately hired by a better employer who offered benefits and I love going to my new job where I feel respected.
Is that because those who wanted to stay at home for government benefits did so while you capitalized?

I am a woman, I don't miss my parents or my children, I want a better pay, a safe working environment, no more toxic employers.
why did you chose to have kids?
I've read several of the comments and I agree with many. I taught in the public schools for 32 years, in that time I've seen many of the changes that were mentioned in this video, and how difficult it has been for our teachers to adapt to them. It's more than just teacher pay, the pandemic, etc. that is causing the crisis. If you teach in a large urban area you have many challenges. The burnout rate is higher in these areas, but it has gotten harder to teach anywhere. I spent all of my years in these kinds of schools, so I was fortunate to have made it as long as I did. I would say the issues I began facing in the last 5 years leading up to my retirement was this rampant, almost militant evolution of politically correct multiculturalism. I also can't emphasize enough how this has affected classroom management issues teachers have today. Teachers do not have the backing and support of administration and parents to control their classes as they have in the past. If you have students in your class that are constantly disrupting instruction, and there is no will to discipline them, then everyone loses. To give you an example, the district I taught at held inservices for us on our new discipline policy. As time went on, teachers began to complain that students were not being sent to alternative school, detention, home etc. even after very serious infractions, in many cases these same students were back in their classes the same day. Personally I loved being a teacher, but I don't blame anyone for leaving. Public service is difficult.
Public sector jobs, state jobs are good, steady work, steady income. It’s difficult though, over worked, over taxed and no overtime.
Loving how they make it into a big mystery : pay workers more, pay your shareholders, middle management and CEOs less and show everyone more respect - the end.
Its not just corporations. Good family owned places are having problems too. It would be nice to solve everything with one "witty" comment but that's not how the world works. Not that cut and dry
The military has these specialty fighter jets and each one costs hundreds of billions of dollars. Just one of those Jets could give every single homeless person a $600,000 home. Always money for war, never for peace and people.

They love to call it a "labor shortage." Nooooo it's more like a "wage shortage." Or an "executive overage."
Another point is daycare costs almost as much as your weekly paycheck. So why wouldn’t you just stay home and be with your kid instead of working and blowing all the money anyway?
yep that what holds families back

Yep, women should stay at home and raise their family regardless. That way we wouldn't have so many sociopathic, narcissistic, mentally unwell, entitled, nihilistic young people that cant figure out which bathroom to use and think expectations are microaggressions. And so many miserable women that function as barely sentient fleshlights until their early 30s.
Yeah... Imagine being a single parent with 6 kids at home. Daycare is a literal impossibility. Even if I could, by some miracle, find a way to afford it; there's nobody who is about to take on 6 kids.
I lost my job in June of 2020 for the pandemic, have received one $600 stimulus, receive no unemployment, am denied any cash assistance, and can't find a work from home paycheck job.
The moratorium expires in days, and my 6 babies and I will find ourselves homeless in the dead of winter.
God Help us. Amen!

I just quit my job because of shady business… it’s ridiculous. It was a great job at first… but towards the end, it became toxic….
Same
This is all a lie. Corporations are not hiring even though they are promoting lies in advertising, saying they pay well and urgently hiring. But in reality, no one is hiring unless you agree to work for 12hr part time.
I’ll applaud anybody who can walk away from a terribly toxic job despite the risks involved. I’m surprised that no one talks about poor management and having to watch their every word and action.
No one wants to talk about that and it’s a huge reason for people leaving these jobs.
100% agreed with both of you. Left 4 months ago for that same reason.
My last job was retail. My boss was respectful and friendly, but the store was managed so amazingly poorly that I had no idea what I was supposed to do. There was no schedule, no pre-work meeting to lay out the plan, no organization of any kind. It was "Put on this ugly apron and go do something, idfk."
I would be stuck idling for several hours a day and listening to insufferable pop music from 2010. Besides the music, the worst part is I wouldn't get in trouble. They were so uninterested in fostering the work environment that I could do actually nothing and get away with it. I joined because the person who hooked me up said it'd lead to more opportunities, and they were lying, and because I wanted to DO something worth doing. Not only was this a retail job where all of the work was miserable, but most of the time there was no work to begin with. I was supposed to sit around and sweat in the 90-degree room and wait and then I'd get paid for it. This seemed to be true of all of my coworkers too.
To some people that sounds great but it was a fate worse than death to me. All I wanted was a clipboard of tasks or something and I got jack. If that is what America is like nowadays I don't think America deserves the "land of opportunity" title anymore.
Finally people standing up for their rights treat each one with respect we are all equal
It's become even worse now bc lower-level employees are becoming managers even though they have no managerial training at all
Finally the American worker knows their value and realizing their health, families, and their purpose is not to serve capitalism of the ultra wealthy but to be in the pursuit of happiness. Good stuff
Most Americans work for small businesses, and small business owners are not ultra wealthy.
@@BradThePitts most Americans? Lmao you're absolutely wrong. For God sake, Amazon, telsa, Google, hotels, other big companies are not small businesses. You're wrong.

Look at health care workers, they were hailed hero's during COVID on the front lines daily working short,crazy hours, then told if they didn't get the 💉 they would be fired...Who treats ppl like that? Sickening I hope everyone that walked away never has to go back!
There’s also a massive termination for not taking the shot that went down from October to December 2021. Including dishonorable discharged military personnel. Let’s do a show about that.
I worked in the hospitality industry for over a decade. There is no way I’d go back now. Not because I know my worth or because of wages or “bad” employers but the customers. The ones that come out to eat and drink. People these days are so entitled and are just plain mean and rude!
Its an epidemic. People are rotting to the core

This is literally it. Working with the public has gotten so bad.
What money are you living on? When unemployment and covid bonuses run out everyone has to go back to some sht job.
I worked for a major company recently - this company demanded mandatory overtime. If you didn't participate in the mandatory overtime, there would be consequences. I have never seen such a quick turnover at a job. People just said: "forget this!" By the way, the pay was horrible, and there was not enough overtime to break even.
I wonder if that overtime was paid out correctly, because if not they are on the hook for wage theft.
@@juliaballaron2684 I worked for a company like this. They would literally pick an employee and change their high overtime day and move it to the next day to another week. So they didn't get that overtime. That has to be illegal. I don't know how they got away with it.
Does the company’s name start with an A and have a Z in it?
Let me guess- Amazon?
@@shamelessantics3386 I was here thinking it was Carcoustics. Lmao.
Not so simple , people just don’t quit, employers are not so interested in keeping employees long term , look at Amazon , when you get experience and work your way up the ladder they get rid of you , Walmart has a computer make your schedule , your hours change each week , what human being wants that , I know many part timers at Walmart that have quit , their hours have been cut to zero , how many companies offer any real retirement ?
How many have no choice but to quit their job , and if they are part time never apply for unemployment ? Do they get counted as quitting
? Sure they do but it’s not because they have the cards in their hand it’s because they trying to survive.
I highly recommend don’t have children, keep your life simple, no need to keep spending buying junk you don’t need, question why you think you need to buy what you think you need ..
You don’t need new a big house, trust me , you don’t!!!
What she hasn't spoken about is how companies are combining three and four jobs into ONE, yet they are paying you LESS! I can not count on how many times I've interviewed and have been quoted a salary I earned many years ago, if not my favorite "oh its based on experience and other factors". Right.
Average worker makes less than 40 years ago. Is it any wonder?!
So true, my job title is now a sentence explaining all the hats I wear during the work week.
EXACTLY !!!
So true. I didn't expect 60 minutes to have a real true investigation about this. Just interview people on the street
This 100% true since the minimum wage went up I know irrigators being asked to work in up to 3 fields! To make up for it. Ranchers never pay whats fair know that when u eat your veggies. Rancher eco omics are not the same of the states
It's become a sick joke when the employer/boss expects employees to pick up the slack when their coworkers quit without paying them overtime or increasing their pay. Instead of rewarding loyal workers who choose to stay these employers are profiteering off of the backs of such workers.
💯% correct. At my job I refuse to pick up the slack if we're short staffed. Quite honestly it's not my business so it's not my problem to worry about.
This is exactly why I quit my job!
That's a sign of someone that has no business being a boss.
Yep. To the point where they will work part-time workers full time without offering them full-time pay and benefits. Especially, during peak seasons. I've been there, done that.
That's exactly why I'm interviewing for other positions right now. Half of a department on the same floor as mine quit and our group was asked to do their job in addition to our own already heavy load, but with no extra pay, benefits, etc. If it were a one-off, I'd overlook it, but this has happened before and it's always for like 6 months while they take their time hiring replacements. In fact, now that I think about it, I haven't even received a simple "thank you" from our head manager. I'm not even sure he knows that we're doing this (just lower managment). Anyway, looks like I'm about to get a job that pays more and doesn't have me constantly overstretched.
I can't get a job!! Office worker willing to cashier, no problem. They don't want to train or see any of my skills as transferable. The system is messed up!
The last job I quit they had to hire 2 people to replace me. I left because of low pay stress and not being appreciated. I got another job 4 days later but I'll quit it too when, not if, I don't get a raise after the 3 month probationary period. I've heard the company I just got hired at does not give raises. Guess I'll find out.
Bad environment, low pay, employers are demanding more and paying less. I quit my job because I was expected to do the job of 3 people and constantly reprimanded for not being able to keep up. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has gone through this. A lot of businesses, corporations treat their employees like dirt, unimportant. There are way too many managers out there that have absolutely no people skills and are high on a power trip.
Pride before the fall is real.
Yes yes yes yes
yes! yes, exactly
I agree wholeheartedly thank God I'm 62 and took my early out work part time now is what it is
All of the above. And a lot of people have also died. We as Americans that have worked since we were teens and are seasoned are tired of the disrespect, low pay overwhelmed by working as those employees don't. I'm 55 and the pandemic gave people a chance to open their eyes to better opportunities
As a retail employee of 22 years I’m very glad this is happening. Retail abused me and many of my coworkers for too long, they would say things like if you don’t like it leave there’s 100 just like you waiting to get into your position. Since the virus I now have a dream job that builds me up pays me much better and appreciates me!
Agree. I was told that at more than one retail job while I worked my way through college. Employers were abusive, unappreciative, demanding. I am so happy to see the shoe on the other foot now!
Who's the captain now?, lol!
Really? Can you share!
Regular Guy, good for you ,I'm happy for you.
Why didn’t you leave earlier?
My back still has bad subluxations from the time I put in at Walmart unloading trucks, even though I finished college and would never work there again, it left pain that will never go away, and as I age I am finding back issues seemingly only get worse.
Retired early. Exhausted. Did the job of 2 people.Awful employers. All about the MONEY.
1. Some employers are gatekeepers.
2. Jobs want to pay employees low salaries knowing that inflation is a thing now.
3. Ridiculous requirements on some of these entry jobs. Why do we need 2-5 years of experience to get onto a entry job.
4. No respect for employee
Why were there no minimum wage workers interviewed? Not even one employee of the bosses interviewed? The great resignation is happening at the blue collar level as well, their voices deserve to be heard too.
During war in Kosovo have you seen any Serb to be asked or member of their army to hear their story by the mainstream media? Or macedonians during the fight with the same albanians, or just albanians were in the media? Or some government press conference? No, because some unconvenient truth may come out
That was my first reaction too. LinkedIn probably skews to white collar workers

Easy answer: Pay your employees a fair wage with benefits. Treat your employees with respect. Pretty easy, RIGHT?
RIGHT! 👍🏿
Yup. People have been treated like cogs in a machine for too long. In economics, the workers are seen as disposable, useless, when they are the most important part of the equation.
I would alter your statement just slightly - "Pay your employees fair wages with QUALITY AFFORDABLE benefits..." Providing medical benefits that have $6k deductibles or higher and insane copays is an insult. People can't even afford to use the benefits that are provided and thus are useless. The only ones who win in that scenario are the Health Insurance companies. The business owner gets raped in how much they pay for something that the employees cannot afford to use.
@@ProudDadKev Agreed
@@ProudDadKev sup-par benefits are just a scam. They never intended to actually use them.
I just quit my job as a propane delivery driver, the amount of work they had me doing for two other people and plus being on call for a week or two, was not worth $21 an hour!

I didn’t even give them two weeks notice, I just left! Now they are down to only two drivers!! I hope it hits them where it hurts
There may be millions of jobs open, but they will not reply to inquiries and the majority of the time they won't hire. I applied to nearly 100 jobs before I got 1.
And I had experience and a college degree. They don't want to hire. These companies just want the federal benefits.

Employers are the problem, their management skills are limited and there is more to having a successful business than the bottom line….it’s taking care of your employees, being fair and generous to them. Example, every business has a sign NOW HIRING, or HELP WANTED…..so you go on line ( the personal interaction is gone ) to apply…..they make you jump thru hoops questioning everything, and guess what….no response, no call back, nothing….nowadays the unprofessional behavior starts at the top…..no wonder good blue collar workers are leaving….and today’s management don’t know how to do the real jobs……
