Infinite talent pool theory

Our management seems to think there is an infinite talent pool and they can just keep replacing everyone with equal or better quality workers at a moment’s notice. Someone should give them a clue.

An American company not for American workers! We’re giving too much overseas.

@OP For a lot of you it’s true. All you really do is cut and paste slide decks. The “technical expertise” is just updating overlay specs for your vendors and traveling to a site every once in a great while.

Any warm body can do most/all of that for less than the $200k+ most of you draw in base salary annually.

Get TF over yourselves.

There seems to be excess people available in the public. The fallacy is that they will all be willing to accept the company culture. Now we see a gradual uptick in safety and control incidents which shows that the culture is eroding. This is how a proven company starts to fail… it doesn’t happen at all… it’s gradual and once it’s too late, management often doesn’t recognize it. Also, the quality of the talent pool is less concerned with details that perhaps ‘lifers’ who took ownership of the company were. This is the difference between the employee vs owner mindset. DW should read up before he’s held responsible for massive disasters across multiple fronts.

I wonder when is this cost arbitrage going to stop.

The only thing that matters is cheaper.
