Education pushes safe space for each group. Our corporations actually have to compete globally for success to create good jobs.bthus generation of workers wasn't taught much of value or to prepare them for work. Work is a four letter word and has no room for people so scared they needed safe space and for employees taught they were the center if the universe.

Time for Americans to grow some back bone. The Titans who create jobs don't need a safe place not do Asian and Eastern European workers who stand ready to know us companies blocks off.

Without speaking specifically about that specific employer/employee situation, that logic doesn't hold water. People "staying where they are" as as likely a reflection of how bad other choices are.

Sorry, I'm not seeing that in Georgia.

Maybe that's happening in Texas (and maybe, just like when it happened in the past in places like Florida and New York, there will be an accompanying local labor crash a few years from now).

Safe spaces? I am getting very upset, so I am going into my own safe space. No noise, no trouble, no problems. Well actually no.

However, after the crazy IT career that I had, the whole world seems like a safe space to me now. LOL!

Couldn't agree more. Oprah is the one who started all this nonsense.

If a person isn't actively looking for other jobs (spending at least a few hours/week networking, submitting resumes, etc.), they are content where they are. Judge people by their actions, not their words.

Work is work. It's all been the same since I began working over 25 years.

What has changed are worker expectations. All of the "find your purpose at work" stuff has set up unrealistic expectations.
Exactly! I just had this talk with anput of work young woman last night. I really had to work had to get her to understand that only one in a million can find their passion at work. Just work. Find your passion at home, within yourself, at church or volunteering.

At work, all I cared about was the money. Passion? No. Money? Yes. Work doesn't have to be good or fun if you are being paid to do it.

For the right amount of money, plenty of people become pretty passionate all of a sudden
