Wrong, that's a lie. They're not desperate. Companies these days don't want to pay.

Exacta. Firms like Apple moved because labor was becoming expensive as China's economy developed over the last few decades (beyond the geopolitical issues). You see it with outsourcing moving to Philippines, Vietnam, India, Thailand, Eastern Europe. These firms will keep chasing cheap labor in developing nations when they can. Next'll be Cambodia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Central Asia, Africa until there's nowhere left or its all robots.

Lol at desperate. These journalist enablers need to go down with the crappy business practices they protect

Tong Diep Anh, marketing director at Viec 3 Mien, a recruitment company for Apple manufacturers, told Rest of World. “In the past, when demand for work was high, workers had to pay money to get a job. Now that the job market is saturated, workers have a choice

Emphases mine.

Hung, the TikTok recruiter for Luxshare, said he has spoken to more than 100 prospective applicants. In the end, he said, workers care most about pay and the work environment: “Now workers have too much choice. Many join the companies, many leave, too. They jump between Luxshare, Foxconn, and other companies"

Again. No recruiters talking about nor does the article mention a lack of able-bodied workers in the population. The corpos would rather pay recruiters to offer fuckin umbrellas n shit instead of offering competitive wages in the market. Whole bootlick article is fulla tone-deaf quotes like these crying how is unfair they have to compete on wages, working conditions, and benefits.

Get fucked. PAY ME

Capitalism working as intended.

Supply and demand. In this case means higher wages.

What in the world is a tiktok recruiter?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

They are desperate to find people who will work for 15625 times less than the CEO. I wonder why
