Why Is It So Damned Hard To Get Staff?

McDonalds doesn't seem to have any trouble finding staff, I wonder why

I expect it is because he hasn't noticed any closing down due to lack of employees.

Both Avenue or Central mcd are always staffed with plenty of english speaking staff.. I mean if it was so bad they would always be short staff no ? and Avenue is open 24/7 so it's not like a dream job to be working all night

I don't claim it's easy but they seem to always find enough qualified staff to run the place

Just because business does not have enough staff it does not mean it closes down-common sense really.

Some staff work double shifts, visit Mc Donalds at night and see how long it takes to get your order.

Again, what makes you think they are not short of staffed? you think they have plenty it does not mean they think they have plenty.

Just a few days ago, i was full staffed and if you came to my business few days ago and today, you would not be be able to tell the difference, HOWEVER what you do not know is that today all my staff, including myself doing double if not triple shifts because the others were either fired or did not show up.

Never judge a book by its cover as the saying goes.

Also another reason, you may find most stores have more staff than they need, only because staff does not stay and getting new one is even more challenging.

Thank you but I don't think I will enter a Mickey D's either day or night. I went to one about 10 years ago and it was not good. I went to one again about a year ago and immediately noticed the size of the burger had shrunk significantly and it was still, not good. Can't stand it.

But I am a bit partial to KFC

My wife asked me after telling her about this thread, Why are farrangs asking farrangs how to get Thais to work for them why arn't they asking Thais?

although it may appear like this, Thaivisa is restricted to farangs...

I asked around a lot in the Thai community I'm acquainted with but no results. Here, I got a bunch of referrals by PM, but no results yet. If you are out there and reading this, give me a call, you have my number.

Coincidentally, a Thai friend of mine came the other day out of the bush work and asked if we are still looking for sales. Hell, yes!

Guess they waited for a while to see whether we are still around after 2 months.

Never mind, we are planning to employ more sales, so keep them coming!

Sent from my GT-N7000 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app

The wife said that all Thais have their groups and thats how employees get jobs,through those groups, especially in Pattaya, and then she said if she were looking for employees she would hire a friend to go out and get the employees she needed. Cheers
