    Depends on the person, the role, when they joined, etc.

    Almost every company has a non zero amount of people who would like to bail, but have been better off staying with a shitty company that is circling the drain.

    Sometimes those people are still pretty new hires. Sometimes it’s the opposite, and it’s people that struggle to find equivalent compensation elsewhere because they’ve been at the company for too long and they don’t have experience with anything else.

    There will be people that had options and made bad choices, but there are almost always some people in a company that have fewer options than you might realize.

      Awesome username. In light of that, maybe think of it like this: Lindell went full fascist. Never go full fascist

      Eh, and MyPillow workers have had long enough to know who they work for, they could avail themselves help through their state workforce program to get free retraining in another industry at any point. Theyd’ve been better off flipping burgers

        I’ve worked for quite a few companies that have been circling the drain, and have done a lot of hiring, placement, and career transition work over the last couple decades.

        Failing companies often still hire to keep the lights on, and people who are desperate for a particular job in a particular space often still take those jobs so they can get anything on their resume (design, marketing, etc can’t be hard to break into professionally, but be rewarding once you get a foot in the door).

        As for the training thing, that’s not always a great option for a lot of spaces. You might go from a job that you climbed, and pays your mortgage and feeds your kids, to starting at the bottom all over. People in that position will often try to hold out and spend extra energy on a job hunt and interviewing, because the alternative can be a pretty big impact to financial stability.

          Well, I concede you definitely have more experience in the field. I’m talking about the MyPillowemployees specifically…I just find it hard to believe in the idea of succumbing to desperation to the point of being incapable of helping yourself in this kind of situation…I’ve availed myself of the same program here in Texas and they do a great job. In the end, they would’ve been better off flipping burgers instead of working for that guy, they’d still be gainfully employed 😁
