FROG MAN Posted July 12, 2008 #1 Posted July 12, 2008 Good jobs use to be hard to find in WV. Now it's hard to find good people. A friend of mine said yesterday 25 people applied for jobs with his department. All 25 failed 1 or more of the first 3 requirements for hire. 1. Do you have a valid drivers licensee. 2. Can you pass a drug test ( been clean for 2 years). 3. Can you pass a criminal background check.
hipshot Posted July 12, 2008 #2 Posted July 12, 2008 and of course "can you speak ENGLISH?" should have been question#1! sounds about right, Gerald. people who want to work, can't be found. slugs, are EVERYWHERE,. they don't want to work, just collect a paycheck. just jt
Yammer Dan Posted July 12, 2008 #3 Posted July 12, 2008 Does this involve work?? Would cut list down!! What is it Gerald. I'm thinking of retiring....
FROG MAN Posted July 12, 2008 Author #4 Posted July 12, 2008 Dan I hope to get a Social Security check in 12 years. I would like to know there is someone left to pay in?
Condor Posted July 12, 2008 #6 Posted July 12, 2008 I took early and still ante up into the SS system every year at tax time. About every two or three years they actually adjust my monthly up a notch because of it.....
Squidley Posted July 12, 2008 #7 Posted July 12, 2008 Dan I hope to get a Social Security check in 12 years. I would like to know there is someone left to pay in? Dont bank on that Gerry, I know that I'm not and I'm further behind you in collecting it. Sad state of affairs in this country these days, I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel anymore
Skid Posted July 12, 2008 #8 Posted July 12, 2008 ..... I would like to know there is someone left to pay in? Won't be me, but then again I'm not paying into Social Security now either. Only a little over 5 years and I'll be collecting retirement!
Redneck Posted July 12, 2008 #9 Posted July 12, 2008 Gerald in 12 years minimum retirement age will be 90 for social insecurity thats the only way they will be able to keep the system solvent. Raise the age till most people die before they can collect.
Yammer Dan Posted July 12, 2008 #10 Posted July 12, 2008 Gerald in 12 years minimum retirement age will be 90 for social insecurity thats the only way they will be able to keep the system solvent. Raise the age till most people die before they can collect. I think that IS the plan!!
FROG MAN Posted July 12, 2008 Author #11 Posted July 12, 2008 I gave wall street enough of my retirement fund this year to buy a new Harley. I guess it's work till you die. Then again my neighbors hydro business is doing good. Seems like the riff raff have life better at times.No job,No licensee,but plenty of CASH.
Yammer Dan Posted July 12, 2008 #12 Posted July 12, 2008 Just missed the boat somewhere. I couldn't even find the water.
Mariner Fan Posted July 12, 2008 #13 Posted July 12, 2008 Dont bank on that Gerry, I know that I'm not and I'm further behind you in collecting it. Sad state of affairs in this country these days, I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel anymore That ticks me off. I always knew Social Security was a pyramid scheme. http://www.bikeforums.net/images/smilies/troll.gif
Dano Posted July 12, 2008 #14 Posted July 12, 2008 You can thank Congress for giving the illegal aliens the ability to collect SS without having to pay into it! Matter of fact, you can thank them for everything else they're giving them!! Dan
