I'm not hiring people to build atom bombs - just park cars, don't wreck, and be friendly.
I am prob. the best boss in the world - I basically let them write their own schedule - as long as the shifts are covered it's all good.

The applications I have received this week are horrible - 300 of them - I'm not looking for nuclear physicists, but the ability to spell, form a complete sentence, include your last name, etc. are things I would like to see.

I'm not seeing them.
I hear ya. Lord knows I really don't "want" to work, but I have to. But, when I am at work, I believe I should hold up my end of the deal. However, that doesn't mean I will bust ass for anyone who doesn't hold up their end of the deal. If an employer starts reneging on his promises, I will start reneging on mine, as I start looking for another job.

Lazy, scheming and lying ass employers should always get what they have coming, even when they don't like it. Checks and balances, don't ya know.........

It's why they hate Unions.

See how that works?
