    Well people did it's just not the high paying tech jobs that did.  The restaurant and retail workers quit en masse.  That part of the workforce is still trying to recover.  The amount of Help Wanted signs for that is everywhere here in NY.

    NPR had some great articles on it.

    Because they were shitty jobs and were treated like shit, by management and customers. Have you heard about the abuse and shit those folks put up with and realized they didn’t? You couldn’t pay me enough to do either.

    BINGO.

    I pondered, at the time, probably in this thread, if those people leaving those shitty jobs might be using their stimulus checks to their advantage to put themselves in better situations and improve their lives as opposed to just not working (which, I think, was always a dumb argument to make because $1500 can only last so long). Low and behold, here we are.

    What a strange analogy.  The Yankees and Bruins could only add up to the roster limit.  And so each player has a role.  The Bruins didn't have 30 players on scholarship. 

    The problem with Meta's strategy, besides being a cash burn,  is that now you have engineers who had no roles and they literally would spend days on meet and greets, if they had any at all.  They were not on any products or projects.  So when they were RIFed, they didn't have any relevantĺ experience and stalling their careers

    You did say "crazy business".  Wooden used to get ALL the greatest players and bench them, so it falls under what you are saying as to not utilizing them.

    The Boeing example though made sense to mass hire and get rid of the dregs.
