This employment situation is a beautiful blessing for the working people. Can’t treat people bad anymore because they can leave at a seconds notice and not be punished. Pay and the niceness of employer’s definitely went up. Smart people been took advantage of this.
Smart people treat their employers and customers right - even when they "don't have to" because they think of their reputation, ethics, and their future.
They are raising wages for entry level jobs to match the wages of upper level jobs and then those wages haven’t been adequately raised so some people say well I can flip burgers with no stress for the same amount of pay for the upper level job that had me stressed all the time
Flipped burgers in high school. No where near as stressful as my professional job. What's the worst that can happen? You remake it? Not quite the same as potentially tanking a company with a bad decision
Baby boomers are retiring, and there's not enough young people to replace them. It's just a demographic problem, and wages will need to raise A TON to meet the supply. The only solution is to pay more if you want talent.
The talent positions are getting filled. The issue is the semi skilled and un- skilled are able to standby and survive for a certain amount of time without needing to go get a job. Wages are not going to increase anymore than they have for those positions. The Subway/McD/Amazon warehouse types are not going to make anymore than what is being offered now, on average. When you compress salaries too much, those skilled workers request more, and if they don't get what is desired, they will move on.
Depending on what city you live in, the pay for a public sector job isn't enough any more to buy a home and raises don't keep up with increases in home values. For example; in Franklin, TN where Ramsey is located the average base salary for a teacher is $51,206 yet the average home value is $863,149 and $460,447 in Nashville. Using Ramsey's own ratios, before any deductions, the average teacher has $1066 a month for housing in an area where the average rent is $1,819 a month.
This argument infers that there was a time in recent history when a teacher’s salary was enough to buy a home in high cost of living areas, which is not true. Maybe that was true in Nashville area but in general, it’s not.
@@shrimuyopa8117 sure, but it's easy enough to do searches for a home to buy based on price and see that the people who keep a community functioning often can't afford to live in the community they serve.
WFH has been a blessing to people with disabilities, because it means that someone who can work without the pressures of an office, can work. If the job can be done on a computer from any location, then their may not be a need to work in a office surrounded by sick people, petty office politics, and the gas / stress of driving to work. As long as their productive, WFH should be an option for many jobs. Trying to strong arm workers to return looks bad, and destroys moral after they have enjoyed not dealing with traffic, saved on babysitting, or listened to their favorite music all day. Dave you may not like it, but many of the jobs at your company should be WFH, and you should care for workers that need the option.
Exactly. I have a specialized MBA and 10+ years experience and all I get offered is low wage entry-level jobs lol. Shortage of GOOD CAREERS (not jobs).
Tim Cook is not weak, he just realizes that tech workers have all the power. There are so many options available for tech right now…we can go elsewhere very easily.
that was a very unsettling part of what they were talking about. Came across quite anti worker to me. If someone can do their job from home. Congrats they just got a pay rise for free to the employer and you saved money on office space. Why not celebrate that. oh maybe because you bought a huge building "CASH".. And now its wasted and you cant sell it. Not hating on anyone here. Just seemed very anti worker to me.
Talking as a developer with many years of experience, the companies can't demand us to come into the office. The smart ones won't try to force. We get too many offers a day. We can pick and choose where we want to work. If my current employer told me I have to come in, I would consider it only because I like my team, they treat me really well, and I'm paid well. My current employer doesn't force me to come in because I'm highly productive from home, and I'm hard to replace. Tech can be done very well from home.
Dave certainly has Boomer logic with his opinion here. If people can get the job done at home as well as it can be done in the office why waste the money on having them back, so you can micromanage them?
@@jgeszvain exactly right, Dave hates people working from home. Doesn't make any sense at all to me, if the job is getting done. My current employer requires only two days per month in the office.
I am purposely unemployed, because the cost of childcare would offset the salary I'd earn working my office job. I know dozens of other women in my position, who either work from home part time, or stopped working altogether to save money with childcare costs.
I've managed to work around it. My wife works 8-430 m-f and I'll be with the kids during that time. Then m , w ,f nights I work 6-10 and I work 9-6 sat and sun @ Walmart. I have no social life but that's the cost.
Chloe, I agree. The pandemic also made a lot of families want to have someone there for the kids. I have even seen friends homeschool who were not homeschooling before. Sometimes one adult will work less or not at all for the overall health and benefit of the family.
One thing I hate is entry level jobs require experience it should be illegal to require experience for an entry level job. It also should be illegal to require a degree for any job that pays less than $60k.
I think Tim Cook realizes that his teams have shown for a long time they can work remotely and still produce quality products and he'd rather keep those great engineers rather than lose them by forcing them back into an environment that might stifle them.
Oh jeez, enough. People working from home in so many scenerios is fine. I love how Dave can't get over it. 🤣 Not everyone is in TN nor Dave's biz model.
Working from home is a godsend. Maybe in Nashville it isn’t so bad but in tech areas having everyone live in commuting distance of the office or downtown does wonders for housing prices.
No matter the subject being discussed about work the Ramsey's always end in the WFH thing. I WFH and I don't want to go back to the office, and if people are not working "enough" in their homes for me this is much more a problem of leadership, assignment and delegations than the fault of the worker.
My spouse and I have been working from home since before the pandemic when most everyone else started. It would be hard to go to an office now without a pay bump because when we work from home we save gas money and time.
@D C uh they were already working from home prior so why would they go into the office when they obviously have been doing this pre pandemic? Now maybe when they started this job and it said “remote” that is what they signed up for no reason to do otherwise
@D C there are things called "change" "progress" and "flexibility".. Sort of like how a job will give you a description of what you're expected to do, then later start asking you to do more than what was agreed upon without additional pay. Works both ways
Families have realized they can live without paying 200 plus a week for daycare !! That’s 800 a month … mothers are happy to be with their children !! This is huge !! Work from home avoids expensive daycare

There can be a lot of reasons why there are shortages of workers. It can be that some are building their business or many people these days prefer to work for someone where they don't need to deal with pressure and a toxic workplace.
For me I found I was not only able to make a little more money being self employed I also I didn't have to put up with the BS of bad owners/bosses and basically straight up abuse. I will never work under those conditions again. I have literally never had a lunch break at a job in my life but always had the time deducted.
@@littleripper312 I'm so sorry that you had that awful experience. And now, good for you to have finally decided to never go back to that again. Keep moving forward!
I was working from home during the shut down and I'm back in the office five days a week now! Let me tell you I was working way harder from home then at the office!
In my opinion it is way better to work at the office than in home. When you work at home Sups are more into what are you doing and more micro managing for real!
The record I'll love to break is becoming the first millionaire in my family history, I've read about people coming from the dirt to making over $10millions in few years, and I'd love to know how to build wealth and amass good profit against all odds.
@@kpmarsh11 Occam's razor would point any sensible person to the conclusion that when the numbers don't add up there's a reason for it. It's pretty easy to fudge the economic numbers as well. (The way they keep food and gas inflation out of the official numbers for example.) The way they count open jobs now is very similar.
Bear in mind lots of jobs are advertised because there has to be a formal selection process but often the ones who get the job are already selected so unfortunately it's just a formality and people end up applying for jobs that don't even exist.
Dave: We have 100 open positions at Ramsey we can't fill. Also Dave: Tim Cook is weak for asking his devs to come back to work, I told my people. Hmm maybe he knows what he's doing to not lose 10% of his technical team
You still have to be qualified for the positions you apply for. If you’re qualified with solid work experience in an in-demand field, you will find a job quickly without much effort
My company laid everyone off. And now the same company has ads for those jobs on Indeed. And, I haven’t had any new interviews either. Somebody’s lying 🤥
add shortage of nurses, restaurant workers, pharmacists. How about raising rate of pay at least tied to standard of living costs. Teachers are the lowest paid profession for many years how about paying them for what they deserve. Try taking the teachers license exam, I bet 75% of people with any degree can’t pass it.
My wife has applied for over 70 jobs to help bring some income in and nobody is calling. She is over qualified for most but still they aren’t calling. I know several other moms like for jobs while the kids are at school that aren’t getting calls either.
Sometimes its a resume issue dont forget computers are now reading the resume first. Sometimes even a format or font makes the computer unable to read it. My suggestion scrap the resume, start with a blank sheet and watch some RUclips people who make videos about resumes all the time and create one like they suggest.
I don’t think you have to come into work to be productive and do you work depending on the job. I think workers who have been working from home like the flexibility. It means more time with family, saving money on gas and food, and in many cases people are more productive. It also allows people to be able to work a job that is a little further then they would normally travel because most of the time you can work from home. This old narrative of having to come into work is they very reason why many people of choosing to switch to jobs where they have more flexibility. Me being one of those people.
@@Rashaadthegr8 depends on what you think pay well is, but there’s a bunch of jobs out here that pay 60-100k no degree! Ppl just don’t wanna work them or don’t kno how to look for them
Been in software development for 25+ years, number one reason I'll never work for Ramsey is they MUST work in the office... too many high paying dev jobs WFH for "skilled" devs.... work in office is mediocrity bound... enjoy.. !

It’s interesting to watch a guy who writes self help books pass judgement on the CEO of the largest company in the world as “he’s weak”. As if he himself has it more figured out
I’m in a trucking industry and let me tell u there isn’t much freight to haul so now a lot of companies closing down and people just parking their trucks. I had owned a truck and that thing was always breaking till I couldn’t drive and I owe a guy 13k in repairs so he took it and now I’m driving as a driver for another company
Dave-MANY many companies are still requiring the special passport, and that it be kept “up-to-date” for in-office staff and vendors. That’s one reason nobody is talking about on why some of us still insist on “remote only”
When I need a ego boost to feel smarter I come watch Ramsey spew disinformation with so much confidence it becomes cringy. Then I don’t feel so bad anymore.
Knew someone that tried to apply with Ramsey a few years back. She said it was insane the stuff they put you through for the interview process. Which can be good, but at the same time most people arent going to want to put up with that.
That’s kind of the point. If you don’t fit in the correct boxes to work at the business then you shouldn’t be there. They are clearly looking for not only a specific skill set, but also a correct cultural fit.
@@taylorsmith9629 couldn't tell you specifics. Just that it was long, very detailed and stressful. She said the pay wasn't worth it. Maybe if they still have 100 opened positions as dave says they might want to revisit the hiring process.
This show is consumed with the signaling about working in the office being superior to remote work. I live this show but imagine it be a negative place for most people to work.
Dave is from an older generation where you didn't have the ability to work from home because the internet was barely coming up. He's just stuck I'm his ways. He's honestly stuck in the 90s, but he still has some good points to make.
Those jobs are a joke, when you crunch the numbers, of what you risk to what your making you would leave without a doubt, your car, your gas, wear and tear on your vehicle, compared to what you generate is laughable
@@joeb1522 but more people would come back into the labor force if they were attracted with a high enough wage. Of course the amounts that people are getting to not work and stay on welfare, Medicaid, etc don’t help this either.
Dave, love your channel and all the advices that you have given to us. However, your company website does not practice transparency with the salaries for your job openings. I may be naive as someone who is only almost 30 with a bachelors degree and some corporate experience, but this is considered one of the red flags... If you don't want to show your salaries, people are not going to apply in the first place. Maybe this is perhaps one of the reasons why you have hundreds of jobs open? Your business does not need to fill in these roles; that's the message I get when I visit your website. You don't have a clear INTENT to hire.
According to Dave in a recent Entre Leadership Q&A, if the pay and benefits are something that you prioritize, then you’re not the type of person they want to hire anyways. Coming from the same guy who’s telling people to go get bigger shovels for their debt and prioritize making more money. While Ramsey solutions has helped a lot of people, Dave somehow believes that it is the only company with a mission to help people. All of the job postings say “be 100% bought into the mission” or “it’s a calling. Join the crusade”.
Not sure why Dave calls someone a piece of trash for essentially disagreeing with his economic view point. Dave may be right. He may be wrong. Economics is not an exact science. In general, it seems like it has been a long time since he has been in a room with an equal. I remember when he was more respectful of others.
I fully agree, Greg. I am very disappointed in Dave as I have been a huge fan for a long time. A "man of God" doesn't do that. Some, including myself, believe that the Fed's firm stance on inflation will be of more benefit to especially the poor, in the longer run. It's much easier to take a weaker stance now and make everyone happy now, to no benefit for the future of monetary policy. The Chair's words are also hugely taken out of context by Dave. I think Dave needs to learn a bit of humility again.
It’s funny you mention UberEats, I don’t use them exactly but I started doing this “Gig work” full time because it’s paying more than the retail job I had prior and way more than most entry level jobs as well 🤷♂️
FYI, I know Dave talks frequently about Dev2, Dev1, Dev3 as if they are universal they aren't. Each company has different definitions of Dev1, Dev2, Dev3 and most companies I have worked for as a software engineer don't even use those terms. They simply refer to me as "the software engineer."
Sadly, in our experience my very qualified husband can’t seem to get a job. I think these companies are advertising they have openings but they are not actually hiring. We’re talking over 200 job applications. It’s been awful!
I’ve been applying to different jobs for awhile now, and never get any call or email back. Idk where this idea of more jobs than workers is coming from.
I work full time plus, own a side business and have a small ranch/farm. If their were more hours in the day I would work another job. Everyone is hiring.
No. He's a multi-millionaire boomer. He has no idea. He's disconnected because he's a millionaire and because he thinks principles from 1952 still apply today.
@@SargeantPrepper I really am surprised he doesn't support remote work. At the very least, when peaceful coming give them a choice without penalizing them. I used to think I'd love to work for the man, but I'm having some serious second thoughts.
I work in retail for a major distributor. For the past two years all of our office jobs have been done from whole call mom I work in the field and I have been raising a verbal terror for six months to anyone who will listen to productivity has dropped off from the Office side so much that now my job is becoming near impossible to perform at the levels that our customers are asking. If you can go back to the office go back to your old face
Just because someone writes a job description and wants someone to do the work doesn't mean they will get it. Take a look at Upwork to see all the ridiculous requests for help at tiny prices. A business needs to adapt and grow or die. Labor cost is up and maybe the business model breaks or the owner make less money.
I applied for many many jobs for months. I found out that hundreds if not thousands of people are applying for majority of jobs. So, it's not just one two three to find a job today.
I’ve been looking for any entry office job and can’t get one 100+ people apply and they are extremely selective. Some jobs are very short most are very competitive
Yes same here, got laid off from my Warehouse Job just recently and everytime I find another job they always cutting down my hours so I've tried applying for entry level office jobs aswell but hard to get into that line of work when I have no experience in it.
When future HARD TIMES all of this working from home debate and pay debates and I want my employer to double my pay debate will all be a distant joke. They will be groveling for food to eat and warm in the winter. History always repeats itself.
Employers don't want to take the time to hire and train people that have dedicated thousands in schooling and certifications in the career field they want but instead list job postings requiring previous experience wondering where all the workers are. It's almost impossible to get your foot in the door with a career you want so naturally are stuck in retail/fast food industry with student loan debt. Unless you know someone to get you a career, good luck.
Its not that weird when you think about it. Rent, house prices and general cost of living are so high that even 45-50k a year isnt enough anymore. Min wage hasnt increased in like 20 years yet everything else has - simple math.
This employment situation is a beautiful blessing for the working people. Can’t treat people bad anymore because they can leave at a seconds notice and not be punished. Pay and the niceness of employer’s definitely went up. Smart people been took advantage of this.

I was working from home during the shut down and I'm back in the office five days a week now! Let me tell you I was working way harder from home then at the office!
In my opinion it is way better to work at the office than in home. When you work at home Sups are more into what are you doing and more micro managing for real!
The record I'll love to break is becoming the first millionaire in my family history, I've read about people coming from the dirt to making over $10millions in few years, and I'd love to know how to build wealth and amass good profit against all odds.

The most logical conclusion is that someone is lying. The numbers simply aren’t representing reality.
Of course, we haven't been through a pandemic in 30 years. Or about 100 years for that matter.
@@kpmarsh11 Occam's razor would point any sensible person to the conclusion that when the numbers don't add up there's a reason for it. It's pretty easy to fudge the economic numbers as well. (The way they keep food and gas inflation out of the official numbers for example.) The way they count open jobs now is very similar.
Bear in mind lots of jobs are advertised because there has to be a formal selection process but often the ones who get the job are already selected so unfortunately it's just a formality and people end up applying for jobs that don't even exist.
Ramsey whenever you have skilled people in high demand and getting job offers from recruiters daily, you can't voluntell them to do anything.
Dave: We have 100 open positions at Ramsey we can't fill.
Also Dave: Tim Cook is weak for asking his devs to come back to work, I told my people.
Hmm maybe he knows what he's doing to not lose 10% of his technical team
Dave needs to increase his wages and benefits to hire people
@@Budgie_uk I guess he doesn't need those 100 people. Not sure why he even mentioned it.
He's getting it! He's getting it!
He's a meddling busybody control freak. A perfect boss for the weak.
The insults make the Ramsey show look weak. 🍎 Has all our data.. far from weak!
I've applied for numerous jobs and cant get one! Someone is wrong somewhere!
Same
Have you tried temp agencies. Sometimes they have access to the best employers out there.
You still have to be qualified for the positions you apply for. If you’re qualified with solid work experience in an in-demand field, you will find a job quickly without much effort
The audacity of this nerd to call Tim Cook weak when he's just Dave's little sidekick.
My company laid everyone off. And now the same company has ads for those jobs on Indeed. And, I haven’t had any new interviews either. Somebody’s lying 🤥
Yup.
Observe closely if they want to fill the jobs with affirmative action folks.
They may probably trying to cut costs
@@gemechannel2899 new people almost always cost more than more tenured ones
add shortage of nurses, restaurant workers, pharmacists. How about raising rate of pay at least tied to standard of living costs. Teachers are the lowest paid profession for many years how about paying them for what they deserve. Try taking the teachers license exam, I bet 75% of people with any degree can’t pass it.
My wife has applied for over 70 jobs to help bring some income in and nobody is calling. She is over qualified for most but still they aren’t calling. I know several other moms like for jobs while the kids are at school that aren’t getting calls either.

What is she applying for?
@@reese85 she's a 5X convicted felon applying to LAW ENFORCEMENT jobs
Same. I have put in for several jobs and getting little to no answers.
Sometimes its a resume issue dont forget computers are now reading the resume first. Sometimes even a format or font makes the computer unable to read it. My suggestion scrap the resume, start with a blank sheet and watch some RUclips people who make videos about resumes all the time and create one like they suggest.
The generalization that people are less productive at home just isn't true. In some ways they are more productive.
Some people are more productive, some people less productive.
I don’t think you have to come into work to be productive and do you work depending on the job. I think workers who have been working from home like the flexibility. It means more time with family, saving money on gas and food, and in many cases people are more productive. It also allows people to be able to work a job that is a little further then they would normally travel because most of the time you can work from home. This old narrative of having to come into work is they very reason why many people of choosing to switch to jobs where they have more flexibility. Me being one of those people.
Working and working a job you want is two different things. I had both.
Most ppl work jobs they necessarily didn’t want but they have bills and to take care off
@@reese85 long time no see. Yeah but when people say oh you can get a job easily they dont' mean a good job they usually mean good and bad jobs.
@@Rashaadthegr8 I would never tell someone to work a job I wouldn’t do and if the job doesn’t pay well!
@@reese85 most jobs don't pay well unless you're entrepreneur, STEM,etc.

Facts 😂
Been in software development for 25+ years, number one reason I'll never work for Ramsey is they MUST work in the office... too many high paying dev jobs WFH for "skilled" devs.... work in office is mediocrity bound... enjoy.. !
Nurses leaving in droves going into accounting, teaching anything but nursing-totally changing careers, even bartending lol, couple nurses I worked with left nursing and make more money and have better life balance with bartending-different times 🎉

You have to be just as competent as a doctor but a fraction of the pay.
I'd jump jobs in a heartbeat. Can't find one paying what I make now.
Me too. I'd even take a slight decrease, depending on the job, if I could find one that would interest me.
@@benjones621 I would take a cut as well, as long as the job was flexible and less stressful.
How much you make?
@@reese85 anywhere from 75-90
Same here
Dave could probably fill all of his open roles if he was ok with work from home/anywhere.
Not everyone lives in Memphis
Perhaps... but I think Dave will also fire you if you aren't a heterosexual Christian.

@@brianparrett114 I think it's more unmarried and pregnant/ living together
The tolerance is overwhelming
It’s interesting to watch a guy who writes self help books pass judgement on the CEO of the largest company in the world as “he’s weak”. As if he himself has it more figured out
not like that. just from the perspective of a common sense.
WHILE having to change his arguments every time he receives a look from his boss. Ken is truly a clown sometimes 🤣
I’m in a trucking industry and let me tell u there isn’t much freight to haul so now a lot of companies closing down and people just parking their trucks. I had owned a truck and that thing was always breaking till I couldn’t drive and I owe a guy 13k in repairs so he took it and now I’m driving as a driver for another company
Are you on the east coast? I have a friend on the west coast whose hearing aid business was failing so he became a driver
Dave-MANY many companies are still requiring the special passport, and that it be kept “up-to-date” for in-office staff and vendors. That’s one reason nobody is talking about on why some of us still insist on “remote only”
When I need a ego boost to feel smarter I come watch Ramsey spew disinformation with so much confidence it becomes cringy. Then I don’t feel so bad anymore.
Knew someone that tried to apply with Ramsey a few years back. She said it was insane the stuff they put you through for the interview process. Which can be good, but at the same time most people arent going to want to put up with that.
That’s kind of the point. If you don’t fit in the correct boxes to work at the business then you shouldn’t be there.
They are clearly looking for not only a specific skill set, but also a correct cultural fit.
@@jeffholmes1478 Uniformity? Sounds like Ramsey is a bit discriminatory
What stuff specifically?
@@taylorsmith9629 couldn't tell you specifics. Just that it was long, very detailed and stressful. She said the pay wasn't worth it. Maybe if they still have 100 opened positions as dave says they might want to revisit the hiring process.
@@taylorsmith9629 Bible thumper
This show is consumed with the signaling about working in the office being superior to remote work. I live this show but imagine it be a negative place for most people to work.
It really depends on the company and it's environment. Remote vs office is a grey area that depends on all sorts of variables
He has to say it to justify his investment in his office building.
Dave is from an older generation where you didn't have the ability to work from home because the internet was barely coming up. He's just stuck I'm his ways. He's honestly stuck in the 90s, but he still has some good points to make.
That office is definitely toxic AF
Its funny to hear about the difficulty in finding software developers, and then hearing the reason for the difficulty.
I would love to work for Ramsey Solutions but I don't see any remote positions available and I'm not located in Nashville.
I can tell you the Uber eats drivers are not making more money. Uber is keeping all of the extra money.
This is so annoying, drivers and delivery workers need to earn more. Apps are taking too big of a cut.
Those jobs are a joke, when you crunch the numbers, of what you risk to what your making you would leave without a doubt, your car, your gas, wear and tear on your vehicle, compared to what you generate is laughable
You could fill the jobs, raise the wage to attract people
raising wages would affect what they can pocket though 😢
This only works so much. There are more job openings than unemployed. If every unemployed found a job, there would still be job openings.
@@joeb1522 but more people would come back into the labor force if they were attracted with a high enough wage. Of course the amounts that people are getting to not work and stay on welfare, Medicaid, etc don’t help this either.
Put in several applications and reached out to no avail. Current job just isn't cutting it.
Hilarious how Ken C starts nodding everytime Dave opens his mouth
Dave, love your channel and all the advices that you have given to us.
However, your company website does not practice transparency with the salaries for your job openings.
I may be naive as someone who is only almost 30 with a bachelors degree and some corporate experience, but this is considered one of the red flags...
If you don't want to show your salaries, people are not going to apply in the first place. Maybe this is perhaps one of the reasons why you have hundreds of jobs open?
Your business does not need to fill in these roles; that's the message I get when I visit your website. You don't have a clear INTENT to hire.
Why apply for a job if you don't know whether it will pay enough to live close to the job?
Yep.
I wouldn't apply for any job that doesn't mention the pay.
According to Dave in a recent Entre Leadership Q&A, if the pay and benefits are something that you prioritize, then you’re not the type of person they want to hire anyways. Coming from the same guy who’s telling people to go get bigger shovels for their debt and prioritize making more money. While Ramsey solutions has helped a lot of people, Dave somehow believes that it is the only company with a mission to help people. All of the job postings say “be 100% bought into the mission” or “it’s a calling. Join the crusade”.
He thinks he owns a cotton plantation.
@@maxpendley4357 No, I am Christian myself, but don’t use biblical words to nullify Dave’s job postings and think what he is doing is justified.
US population growth is in lowest level and kids are expensive,the job openings/employment can’t be fix with shrinking population growth!
Not sure why Dave calls someone a piece of trash for essentially disagreeing with his economic view point. Dave may be right. He may be wrong. Economics is not an exact science.
In general, it seems like it has been a long time since he has been in a room with an equal. I remember when he was more respectful of others.
you sound like you need some testosterone
Yeah, the size of his ego is getting bigger everyday.
He's old. Maybe getting cranky. You should hear some of my relatives
I fully agree, Greg. I am very disappointed in Dave as I have been a huge fan for a long time. A "man of God" doesn't do that. Some, including myself, believe that the Fed's firm stance on inflation will be of more benefit to especially the poor, in the longer run. It's much easier to take a weaker stance now and make everyone happy now, to no benefit for the future of monetary policy. The Chair's words are also hugely taken out of context by Dave. I think Dave needs to learn a bit of humility again.
It’s funny you mention UberEats, I don’t use them exactly but I started doing this “Gig work” full time because it’s paying more than the retail job I had prior and way more than most entry level jobs as well 🤷♂️
"Tim Cook is weak". A cheap shot to impress Ramsey that didn't work 🤣.
He then called himself weak. That was funny.
FYI, I know Dave talks frequently about Dev2, Dev1, Dev3 as if they are universal they aren't. Each company has different definitions of Dev1, Dev2, Dev3 and most companies I have worked for as a software engineer don't even use those terms. They simply refer to me as "the software engineer."
i think he is just referring to seniority levels but yes dev1 etc isn't used in corporate.
KEN calling TIM COOK weak. The joke tells itself. LOL
Sadly, in our experience my very qualified husband can’t seem to get a job. I think these companies are advertising they have openings but they are not actually hiring. We’re talking over 200 job applications. It’s been awful!
All the jobs begging for workers simply do not pay enough to keep up with the inflation.
That's not true. I've been trying to get a second job for months and I keep getting declined letters or no response
Regular people cant even afford a place to live while ramsey has a 10 million dollar house.
I work in the building industry. (High end cabinetry) We are going to start laying people off in the new 1/4. Imports are killing us. Thanks Brandon.
During cv people losts jobs because they were deemed not necessary. But now those people are needed?
These jobs stay unfilled. No one is that dumb to put himself or herself in that vulnerable position again.
@@mirabella2154 ok
I’ve been applying to different jobs for awhile now, and never get any call or email back. Idk where this idea of more jobs than workers is coming from.
Companies that are planning layoffs issue “back to the office” edicts in order to avoid paying unemployment to workers who refuse.
You might just be right.
They sure are. That's what Tesla is doing.
Here we go 🤦🏻♀️
....delaying the inevitable....why is the biggest question i have....
"Quiet quitting" baby!! The bain of corporate pigs!!
I work full time plus, own a side business and have a small ranch/farm. If their were more hours in the day I would work another job. Everyone is hiring.
Does Dave not realize that there are people who rely on what he calls side hustles for ALL their income?
No. He's a multi-millionaire boomer. He has no idea. He's disconnected because he's a millionaire and because he thinks principles from 1952 still apply today.
What side hustles are you talking about? Uber?
Yes. These people are called losers.
Ken Coleman is a "yes man".... not a drop of free thought in him.
He basically knows how not to get fired at that company lol
Would you openly argue with your boss?
Dave, why do your people have to come back into the office? What's wrong with the remote work? I would think that you would be a fan of that.
He just built an expensive building in a town with a median home price of $800k... of course he wants the staff back in those cubicles.
@@brianparrett114 sell the building.
@@ConstantCompanion sell the company van
@@SargeantPrepper I really am surprised he doesn't support remote work. At the very least, when peaceful coming give them a choice without penalizing them. I used to think I'd love to work for the man, but I'm having some serious second thoughts.
@@ConstantCompanion I’m sure if he sells the building! There’s goin to be ppl who loses their job, cuz y’all wanna work from home?
I work in retail for a major distributor. For the past two years all of our office jobs have been done from whole call mom I work in the field and I have been raising a verbal terror for six months to anyone who will listen to productivity has dropped off from the Office side so much that now my job is becoming near impossible to perform at the levels that our customers are asking. If you can go back to the office go back to your old face
I want Dave to explain why it’s necessary for his workers to come into the office?
Because it's company 💩 Head!
Just because someone writes a job description and wants someone to do the work doesn't mean they will get it. Take a look at Upwork to see all the ridiculous requests for help at tiny prices. A business needs to adapt and grow or die. Labor cost is up and maybe the business model breaks or the owner make less money.
i like when companies have to pay more they'd rather take our jod than let it happen
Yep, same with nursing-rates low and the hospital would rather let their staff sink than pay a dime more for a traveler
There is a lot of jobs or juubs that pay you enough money to sleep in your car.
So Ramsey thinks that showing human decency is weak? Interesting. I value their opinions, but true colors are starting to show more and more
I applied for many many jobs for months. I found out that hundreds if not thousands of people are applying for majority of jobs. So, it's not just one two three to find a job today.
I’ve been looking for any entry office job and can’t get one 100+ people apply and they are extremely selective. Some jobs are very short most are very competitive
Yes same here, got laid off from my Warehouse Job just recently and everytime I find another job they always cutting down my hours so I've tried applying for entry level office jobs aswell but hard to get into that line of work when I have no experience in it.

Inflation hurts the little people the most. It also helps the rich people the most.
There is very little in 2022 that makes sense
Working at office sick , love my company I can work from home
Four words...
Complexion for the Connection.
When future HARD TIMES all of this working from home debate and pay debates and I want my employer to double my pay debate will all be a distant joke. They will be groveling for food to eat and warm in the winter. History always repeats itself.
There’s a lot of jobs available but they aren’t that great. $40K a year or less in most cases
No one can afford to live in Tenn.Let your team do remote work
Knox, Williamson, Davidson, Rutherford, Maury are the unaffordable counties that come to mind, the rest is pretty cheap.

I have my choice right now? Not seeing it.
Been trying to get a full time job for a few months
Employers don't want to take the time to hire and train people that have dedicated thousands in schooling and certifications in the career field they want but instead list job postings requiring previous experience wondering where all the workers are. It's almost impossible to get your foot in the door with a career you want so naturally are stuck in retail/fast food industry with student loan debt. Unless you know someone to get you a career, good luck.
Not a lot of people want to get underpaid
UPS has just announced Holiday Hiring Blitz! Driver’s helper and seasonal package handlers are paid $15-$21 an hour.
Its not that weird when you think about it. Rent, house prices and general cost of living are so high that even 45-50k a year isnt enough anymore. Min wage hasnt increased in like 20 years yet everything else has - simple math.
