Is everyone experience extreme understaffing? I know many people doing multiple roles within my company, but wondering if my company just sucks or this is common everywhere.

Experiencing**

I think it depends a lot on the industry and the conditions of each company. Since the pandemic we have had a lot of turnover, but since we have had an increase in profits, turnover has decreased.

Yes, I thought it was something characteristic of my company, but I can see that there are others going through the same thing.

Not extreme but some turnover and difficulty replacing people quickly. Company won’t face the higher salary requirements of candidates these days but are slowly moving up. Most trouble I am facing is finding junior data analysts. I work for a huge blue chip company.

They are in high demand across many companies and functions. If they are any good their salary expectations right out of school or with 1-2 years experience is over 100-120k. Facebook is paying 150k but you have to live in California. In general I’m finding it hard to get people willing to move to Atlanta. They don’t understand why the job isn’t 100% remote.

Probably not everyone, but I have had some trouble with high turnover. Still trying to figure out what the issue

I think workers are becoming more demanding of higher wages and better work conditions so a lot of companies who refuse to budge inevitably have a harder time staffing

Unfortunately it is way more common than it used to be. Everyone is panicking over the price of gas and groceries, so truckdrivers like me are under a lot of pressure to arrive at our destinations quickly, make sure everything is offloaded, then zip on over to the next stop on our list; for how much scrambling we have to do on a daily basis just to keep the supply chain moving, you'd think that everything would be super fast. It's not. But it feels like you're supposed to make it so.

My company isn’t. We pay pretty well though and the culture is pretty good. I think that helps limit how many people leave

Hi, do you mind revealing what company you work for? I'm looking to leave my current company.

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat.

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
