Shortage of good staff

Does the UK have apprenticeship schemes? They work very well here and I would rather find a youngster who is keen enough to learn to go to college than take on someone who thinks they know it all already.

A lot of people in the US never went back to work. Some were old enough to retire and the shutdown let them sample it. The other group are households with both working that realized that after paying for child care and transportation there was nothing left of there take home wages.

You look after your good ones. When the good ones start going the other way you need to scratch your head and have a think about things,
We used to employ misfits from the 2 other major players in the area. Crashers ....Sticky fingers... Not -rights etc. No end to them coming down the belt to employment.
All of a sudden the belt ran the other way... The better ones were going to the other 2 major players.
Pandemonium... Driver Shortage... Management's answer was 30p hour still £3-4 hour short of the others and new design Jacket... I left shortly after and told them they had no idea when we had our "chat"... They actually agreed with me that it was all f**ked up and time for a head wobble to determine the factors why they couldnt recruit.
Shortly after there was an agency advertising for 200 Drivers for them..... Then a few weeks later they made the national news owing ££££££££s

Indeed. If I were younger, I'd suspect Mrs teslacoils and I would have moved to the farm in Perth, Australia, and probably done a few years FIFO driving dumpers in a mine.
The difference in rural recruitment round here is the wages are crap and the costs of transport and wrap around childcare. Add in £1100 a month for a two bed balsawood box for rent and council tax and the dosh soon goes.
By crap I mean you won't get many chicken catchers at £11/hr when you can get £12/hr as an apprentice at the crisp factory.

I’ve recently employed a new guy.
He’s a machine- I’m a bit worried the job is too small for him. He’s used to working on a big dairy place in the Westcountry but has come this way after moving in with a local girl.
I keep reminding him that it is ok to take half an hour for lunch, and yes he really can go home at 5.30 if we’re not too busy, and no he doesn’t need to drop in on his weekend off ‘just to check up on things’.
A nice problem to have.
