Serious question: What wages and benefits were you offering for what jobs, and how did that compare to the other jobs available regionally? What kind of advancement did you offer?

If you are offering top compensation and still finding everyone flakes out, we have a serious problem.

If you are offering less than average for similar jobs, it is not the slightest bit surprising that the only people willing to start work at that job tend to flake out.

If you are offering less than a living wage, you did not have a viable business model (if you need to exploit other humans in dire straits to sustain operations, you have an exploitation model, not a business model).

Small retail business, paid $20-22/hr which was much more than many positions on the county govt job pay scale posting that they publish - for instance a sheriff's office jailer starts at like $17.

Interesting data there - thank you. Was there a big resort around paying much more, or is there just enough jobs in the economy that kids can afford to just flake out whenever they want and expect to pick up something later when they inevitably again need cash?
