Where Does the Global Economy Go From Here?
fareastwarriors replied to Viking's topic in General Discussion
I hear ya. I was just ranting to rant. HHC was just in my crossfire. LOL . . One last point to share through my past few years of Fun-FIRE-ing. I did my share of low level work like restaurants, deliveries, markets, etc. I noticed pay is often times not the main factor in good people quitting. It's often just being mismanaged or being treated like idiots or like a number on an Excel. Don't get me wrong, I've seen plenty of slackers, shitheads, and flakes too but there are many, many good people just trying to do their job, well. But I believe oftentimes companies/managers make it too hard. Just my personal observations. Ok, I'm done. Back to football. -
Where Does the Global Economy Go From Here?

Maybe they just need to pay a bit more and have consistent hours and schedules.. There are plenty of service workers working at other restaurants/markets clearly. HHC can't do better than some random mom-and-pop operators? Woe is me. I've been working as a line cook for past 3 months. The place churned through dozens of dishwashers and 7/8 cooks. I'm in Bay Area, Ca. The dishwasher base is $17/hr + 10% share of of tips. I get the bountiful $18/hr. People were getting scheduled for 5/6 hours only when they wanted 7-8 hours or full time. Some weeks they get 30-40 hours and then next they are only scheduled for 20-30 hours. No consistency. Then our schedules keep changing almost every week. Some weeks, I'm working Sun-Wed. Next week, I'm scheduled for Wed-Sun. I see others with opening shifts one week and then next week, they are on closing shifts. No consistency. With the constant changes, how can employees plan their lives? How can they work a 2nd job, go to school, or take care of their families? The hours and schedules are way too inconsistent. It's too hard. We were maybe fully staffed for like 2 weeks but now we constant staff shortage. I went from working 2/3 days per week to 4/5 days to help cover. This is not a mom-and-pop company. The restaurant group has dozen of units and a Michelin star at one of their place. Luckily for me, I'm basically fun-FIRE so I can be extremely flexible. But I'll probably work another few months and move on. -

From my first to last day (2011-2018) of working in downtown SF, it was a ghost town after 7pm. Sometimes I go into the office during the weekend and the whole area was absolutely empty. Nothing was opened and nobody in the streets. They should've built ten of thousands of resi units and made it a 24/7 area. Clearly the demand was there. Now they are stuck with all these empty buildings and out of control homelessness and crime. Still way too fuking expensive for everything though. If people can get SF for half price, homelessness and crime wouldn't be such big issues

Where Does the Global Economy Go From Here?
fareastwarriors replied to Viking's topic in General Discussion
I blame the parents... I'm an older millennials, 30s. I see my friends' parents setting low expectations and providing nearly everything for them. It is like the parents were deprived so now they are making up for it through their kids. True for Gen Z too. -
What Should those folks do then? Not invest in SP500 index funds? For me, I'll recommend they should DCA into those Funds every paycheck and measure performance over decadeS and whole working life and longer.
