This may be it. Before covid, my gf was noticing more and more people quit, and their job duties just got parceled up and distributed to people who still worked there; lots of hemorrhaging without replacement.
But now that those people have quit, turns out people are demanding at least 75% of a living wage to do 3 peoples’ jobs, so they’re not filling these overworked and poorly paid positions.
At least, that’s plausible, given how I’d been viewing (office, petty size firm) labor before the pandemic.
so its sorta like the more productive laborers moved on and they have to now pay for the surplus value they were previously exploiting.
