“I completely understand why someone doesn’t want to commute an hour and a half every day. Totally get it... Doesn’t mean they have to have a job here either.”

Then why hire people living 90 minutes away?

Sure limit yourself to workers living close by. But don't give me any of that labor shortage bullshit then.

    There is a shortage of people willing to work for the wage you're offering at the terms you're offering. There are millions of people choosing not to work for many, many employers right now. It will only get larger.

    Depending on how old you are, understand, for the rest of your life, there will always be more jobs than employees, act like it and be brutal with your employers about it. The boomers were accelerating into retirement and then COVID exploded lots of employment norms, for good reasons.

    Employers have been used to, for decades, lobbying to hire, fire and treat you disposable on a whim. Demand a lot, there are far fewer of you than there are of their boring companies to burn your life hours.

    That idea has all kinds of problems. There's a substantial amount of investment in education necessary and even then, immigration still doesn't counteract population ageing/shrinking. If you can read or have any well developed skill, you have no business falling victim to fake fears like this.

    No, they aren’t. If you’re so easily replaceable then you’re worthless anyway.

    Everyone is easily replaced. You're not some unique snowflake.

    Skilled workers are not easily replaced. I am a programmer and we regularly have job postings open for over a year at my work.

    I hate to break it to you, but that's not for lack of skilled applicants. Companies leave those positions open so they can say they're trying to hire, just so they get more work out of you.

    Source: I manage about 110 engineers in a global company. We're always 'hiring '.

    So they’re wasting time I could spend actually programming so I can interview people they don’t plan on hiring, got it.

    I mean, yeah? It doesn't take a year to find devs. Unless you're using some ridiculously rare stack, or your posted salary is way below market.

    Plus, if a position is open for a year, you don't need it. Apparently.

    I think you were downvoted just for saying something ppl don't like. Half the jobs posted out there don't actually exist tho, posting ads is also used as cheap marketing to seem like the company is growing and healthy, positions that are posted for legal reasons and aren't really open, etc., your reason included.

    From what I am seeing does not seems true.

    What I am seeing is that the more "intelligent" employer use the great replacement to get rid of unwanted people and WFH to attract good people that they could not normally have for a miriad of reasons.
    (I am from Europe btw)
