You sound angry and if you're venting then cool but if your actually blaming your lack of observatory skills and inability to retain employees on the people you yourself are picking then I see the fault in your perspective. Can you rant about unemployed peoples accountability and then in the same breath display none for yourself ? How much are you paying and for what type of work? "Easy work environments" always exist when you talk to the management it seems. "Flaking" and choosing not to come back and work for you are two totally different things. If they came to you for work and worked it's not very likely they didn't want to work; It could be the situation isn't as good as you are thinking. Maybe if you bring on a trusted person ask them to do the same "easy work" for the same pay rate for a week or two maybe the feedback they can give you can help resolve your "flaky" employee issues. Some people don't think it's beneficial to take a lesser job and lose their unemployment income. Employment is considered something that should be progressive and many don't realize their only qualified skills were in a solitary field until it's too late. Some fields are extremely hard to find jobs in. You can't expect them to lower the bar if they have a way to survive until the right job comes. You don't want to change your expectations and neither do some of the unemployed.
3 or 5 years in the unemployment line?!?!? What is someone doing unemployed for that long?
You want to know what people have been doing being unemployed for so long? Some of us have been raising kids. And if I started to work for someone that seems so angry, I would leave too, just like the people you say "flake" out on you.

Time really flies when you are unemployed and before you know it a year has went by so I can believe now when someone says they been unemployed for 2 years.
I've BEEN IN THEIR SHOES. I'VE BEEN FIRED!!! I recovered from it -- because I was humble and accepted that *I* have control over my situation. These are lazy [Bleep.] (average American millennnial+ graduates) who deserve no sympathy. They're getting out-competed by Indians and then whine like hell that *their* jobs have been taken. Yeah, Sanjay took their job...because they wanted to study sports management at State U. LOL.
Although the OP's posts aren't very tactful, I have to admit that there is a lot of truth to what he says. Being a millennial myself I can see much of what he is talking about from my generation. The lack of drive from my generation combined with the fact that they feel as if they are entitled to the best even when they don't work for it is truly pathetic.

No, I'm not wrong; I'm right. I'm the one hiring people and I see it - you don't. We all want to be politically correct and assume that it's employers who are "greedy" and being "ogres", but the reality is that a lot of unemployed people have a tremendous sense of entitlement, can't take criticism, and quit knowing that either their families or the government will take care of them. All's well for 4 or 5 months. But then employers naturally start looking at their resume and notice that they haven't been doing a [Bleep.]thing for a year. And now that's supposed to be a form of "discrimination" lololololol!!!!!

Time flies?
Why not make use of your time? The moment you're unemployed, you should be up at 8 in the morning and working until 5 p.m. to find a job. If you're not, then you're lazy.

Is a livable wage being offered? If not then I can see why the low interest in the job that's being offered.
