I need to buy a new suit (admittedly I don't fit in my old ones anymore). However, the cost of a good suit is outside of my budget at the moment. As a result, I'm waiting and going without, as well as avoiding attending events that require a suit, in the hopes that a sale, promotion, or some other economic change will reduce the cost of a quality suit so I can purchase one cheaper to wear at future events. People make these sorts of decisions all the time, it's nothing new. This also happens to be what the employers proclaiming "no one wants to work anymore" are actually doing right now. Based on the simple economic principle known as the law of supply and demand employers now need to pay more to fill traditionally low wage jobs with good employees. However, many of these employers are holding out, and going without filling those vacancies, in the hopes that economic conditions will change to enable them to fill those jobs without spending more to do so. "No one wants to work anymore" is not reality. It's corporate spin designed to obfuscate the choices business leaders have made that are the true cause of the poor customer service we've been experiencing when doing business with these voluntarily short-handed companies. You don't get what you won't pay for.
