Yeah but the business is still operating, right? No matter that it’s ruining the work quality of those who are left, if things are still working then it means you can cut that position. So much efficiency of the open market!
The reality is that businesses often don’t know when more people are needed, don’t have the correct people making the decisions whether to hire even if needed, can’t get the budgets approved even if the hiring mgmt chain is on board, can’t get approval to offer competitive salaries, etc etc.
There are a million reasons why companies don’t hire when they need to, or do hire when they don’t.
Humans aren’t perfectly rational, and can’t create perfectly rational systems.
You had me, until the second-half of your last sentence. Its more like we can’t rely on perfectly rational systems, because we don’t comply, neither perfectly nor rationally.
We can’t create them either. Think of any system you think is perfectly rational, and then ask yourself by what standard its rationality is determined.
that’s a great notion, but in the process real roles that ARE needed are empty until someone realizes the mistake, or until people die.
This sounds like overreaction, but what about for EMS services? 911 operations? Emergency room staffing? Nursing? Hospital IT staff?
Having open positions, or even just insufficiently filled hours, will cause situations where there are huge ramifications.
Just because someone isn’t hired, doesn’t mean the role isn’t critical and needed… it means there’s consequences if the need is unfilled. There’s dozens (or more!) of medical professionals needed desperately that aren’t being hired, ultimately due to greed (those driving the AI process here) and this results in worse care.
Most hospitals have more on staff for billing than nurses and doctors. It’s a sign the hospital system is far more interested in profits these days. Most of their staff is overworked due to not hiring enough nurses, which is likely intentional.
Businesses are trying to see you can skate by with minimal workforce, why not give it a shot; it’s great for profit margins, until people start dying. I’m sure they figure that’s why they have insurance.
If no one is hired, it means that no one is really needed.
Got to keep the illusion that there is a healthy job market otherwise the statistics will crash and show reality.
Not to mention we can’t ruffle the feathers of dear leader
Already sort of ruined that
You’ve never worked somewhere that refused to fill a position that desperately needed filling?

That is a bunch of assumptions right there.
