What jobs are you finding it impossible to hire people for, and why?

The company I work for is hemorrhaging employees.

We caption phone calls for people who've lost their hearing.

It requires two weeks of training.

Honestly, it should be three, and it's a skill that doesn't come easily.

But nearly everyone is capable of picking it up.

We sit in cubicles and don't interact with anyone.

We just listen and caption. They'll basically take anyone over 18. It was a good job when I started a few years

ago. The time between calls was enough to study or browse the internet. The pay was pretty fair.

Now, the idle times have fallen dramatically and the pay hasn't changed one bit. Meanwhile, similar call center

jobs are paying more just to read from a script. People quickly get burnt out and they quit.

The department in charge of scheduling is a mess. It's mismanaged to hell and the employees

are even more overworked than the captioners. Interactions with them can be shady as all heck,

and they're known to go back on their

word about time off and schedule changes. They did an employee morale survey just yesterday,

and I tore them apart. My sister worked here too for over a year and quit today after being

very honest in her own survey. As a night shift employee, my pay is higher and my workload is

less, so I'm still doing okay here, and I actually like the job. As a night shift employee, my pay is higher and my workload is less, so I'm still doing

real quick if they want to continue. As it is, they completely deserve to be struggling like this.

The company I work for has been trying to fill a dispatcher position for a year and a half now,

part-timetime evening shift.
