If you guys could unfuck the economy so I can get a job when I graduate in a couple years that would be swell.

Meme Poker Party posted:I really want to know how they came to the conclusion in the notice. Do people actually quit jobs when they get a dang tax refund? I really can't imagine that, at least in the sense "I'm quitting and have no plan because I got a tax return". What I can see is some people using that boost to pay needed expenses to move or whatever so they can transition to a different job, presumably that sucks less rear end. Although I'm a single guy and my tax refunds are poo poo. Working for minimum / low wage & surviving paycheck to paycheck, it can be pretty loving hard to actually go out and get another job. You either have to manage 2 jobs and transition or possibly having an extra week between paychecks... I can definitely see a scenario, especially with kids, where someone would consider quitting a lovely fast food job after getting their tax returns, especially now when quite a few states have historically low unemployment rates...

I can see that being an impetus to quit. But the notice is worded like they think workers are getting their tax returns and just quitting with no plan to work at all. Just subsisting on that refund money without working and no plan. And that I do not believe happens on any real scale.

everyone should be rushing to get as deep into (low fixed rate) debt as possible before interest rates really take off inflation isn't that scary unless you own a lot of assets and don't carry a lot of debt

Posting from a country where all McDonald's workers get 25 days PTO, full healthcare coverage, no-fault terminations are illegal, minimum notice time is 1 month, maternity leaves are a thing, etc. and there is still a McDonald's on every corner and you can stuff your face with cheap garbage if you want. Make of that what you will

Make of that what you will lies. If a country required that of businesses, all business would close up shop and move to another country and leave everyone jobless and begging for them to come back.

What I can see is some people using that boost to pay needed expenses to move or whatever so they can transition to a different job, presumably that sucks less rear end. Some people on the far end of the income spectrum will take a job just long enough to qualify for the earned income credit. If they have enough kids they could qualify for pretty substantial refunds due to the child tax credit as well. Thus, they would be getting back thousands more than might have been withheld from income for taxes. Couple that with food stamps, section 8 housing vouchers, and various other social welfare programs, it might be enough to get a family through the year without the need to work further. This isn't a judgment, it's just how things work for some. My MIL does this, minus the kids, and spends the rest of the year traveling around with a trailer and hanging out in libraries.

The good news is real wages have been going down so people have less money to worry about spending.

Nooner posted:I pay $92/mo in dues for my union which is the cap. Im the CEO of your company and I totally promise that if everyone quit the union we would still give you that $262, pinky swear no backsies. And we'd give bigger raises to the best workers who really deserve it instead of being locked into the union's seniority system. That's right, we'd give you a raise and not Bob over there. You work soooo much harder than Bob, don't you deserve that raise more than him? Bob loves the union because he's a lazy slob who can only get ahead by kissing union boss rear end. gently caress Bob! Am I right?
