    Its scary seeing the workplace shortages like in Government offices, doctors, nurses etc. One question I have is, where the hell are these people going after leaving their jobs? How are they affording this life? They cant all have sugar mommas and daddies.

    I'm finding this with older people close to retirement or there —I know three family doctors who still want to work but opted to retire because of government —I've read many doctors won't set up a practice because of government —I'm seeing a similarity in what I do in the trucking industry —I can't comment on young people but I think many have resorted to living with less and see no point because of market trends (housing eg.) —I also think the "everyone's a winner" notion many have been raised on is now coming to fruition but that's just my opinion. I have one of six and I don't think he will leave home —I don't get angry and just watch because I know he's up to something and I think he see's the future in a different mind set...he's just trying to piece it together privately tho —it's funny being a dad the kids never think that dad is watching in my case anyway...lol

    Thats awesome and kudo's to you for being an involved father having a watchful eye on your little ones.
    The world needs more watchful fathers!

    I understand some people close to retirement are opting to retire, but i'm talking about the younger folk 20yr olds and up... they're just completely absent. And the ones who I come across in many different sectors are entitled as hell and dont want to put in the work.
    I guess those participation trophies really are paying dividends in society.

    Personally I think we are seeing the result of decades worth of government mismanagement and political play coming to a head. My cousin is in the medical field. And stated years ago how the “ceo” of her hospital gained a 100k plus bonus for the year by coming in under budget. She came in under budget by closing a floor and limiting beds.

    The blame for the closure fell on the government and not the ceo.

    All we hear currently in Ontario is how it’s all fords fault. My Brother in law is a dr in Nova Scotia. They have the same problems there. Doug ford dosnt run things down there.

    People don’t seem to grasp that ALL the government does is cut checks. Spending decisions happen at a different level.

    In medical and most other government industries. (Education being a big one) we have seen years of bloated wages, hiring, and benefits into middle and upper management. But cuts to the actually people working.

    These industries have become top heavy and more work never gets done by hiring more management.
