The continued dip in the stock market today wasn’t blamed on the sub-prime mortgage lending crisis or the escalating price of a barrel of oil Today’s stock market nemesis is the rising rate of unemployment in the United States. If somebody doesn’t pay attention and quickly we will be on some third world country shit where people are ferried around the places in taxicab bicycles.
Oh.
The shit I am finding interesting is how many people are reportedly not even showing up for job interviews. WTF?!? That ain’t cool, unless you are really rich and your job interview is at some philanthropy organization you established in order to give away your money. That makes no sense right? Well that’s my point.
Employers increasingly jilted by job seekers
One of the biggest reasons I can imagine for people to juke a job interview is because the position being offered is straight up trash. But even then I wonder why people applied in the first place? Do unemployment benefits remain available for people that only schedule job interviews? It’s difficult for me to take a stand and bitch about corporate greed and outsourcing when more Americans are blowing off the initial stage of the hiring process.
I think companies need to review their benefit packages in order to make their businesses more attractive to people who might otherwise just stay in the parent’s basements. Consider some of these provisions…
