Not just ski areas..construction,retail,food..
Have to wonder..what is everyone doing?
They quit...but now what? Unemployment only goes so far.

There's a lot of factors, but the 55+ age group is showing a significant decline in work force participation. You know first hand the biggest reason that's been possible and probably why you, yourself are where you are. The market remained remarkably resilient and that was a big point for all of the stimulus; keep people spending.

Had we had a prolonged market downtown, there likely would be far more people still hustling. Not that I'm rooting for anything like that such that I get better service at the grocery store and Starbucks.

Cuzzins at Mount Snow was about 50 to maybe 2/3rds of what it typically is for a Bruce Jacques show.

Apparently the Snow barn was open the last few night with Christmas movies, and just had staff and no customers there. As a huge Mount Snow social media consumer, I had no clue the Snow barn was open the last few nights, and if it wasn't for me following Bruce Jacques's social media feeds, I wouldn't have known about his show today.

The folks in Broomfield might want to let the local folks manage more of the promotional stuff than they are now.. Pretty sure the on sight staff would appreciate more volume!

Apparently you have to be vaccinated to work at vail resorts. Wildcats normal employee is a a 20 something from Berlin. You can work at cumbys or mcd’s for more money, it’s warm and a free shift meal. If. you get vaxxed, want to work in freezing temps, make less then at dunkins, Wildcat is the place for you.

You could probably roll into Shaws with some sort of customer experience and open availability and make 50% more that the Cats starting wage right off the bat.

I believe Powdr is also requiring vax. I know Snowbird and Killington are.

All Vail Resorts employees this season need to be fully vaccinated, by the definition of what fully vaccinated was about a month ago, so 2 shots of Pfizer or Moderna or 1 shot of J&J

Heck, at least you have stuff open at Mt Snow...............here at Hunter only the bar (2 drinks max, 45 minutes max) is open, no music, TV's. Hunter Mtn Lodge aka "NO FUN ZONE". Windham is fully open though.

They may "consider" quitting. But when push comes to shove, they may "reconsider". ;)

Unless they're old enough to consider retiring like you. :)

Most of the people both above and below me at work are antivax. This is a mgmt company with outlets throughout the country so I'm surprised they aren't mandating but the ones at the top are antivax. I'm about done for other reasons but this accelerates things not that I'm worried so much about my health and safety but I just don't want to be surrounded with these types.

Why are so many people against getting vaccinated? I suspect some of the reasons are religion, don't trust the vaccines, or simply because someone is telling you that you have to. Did I miss any?

I only know 1 anti-vaxxer. His reason is he doesn't trust the new vaccine. He'd prefer to wait for more time to pass until the last moment when he's forced to get it. He had the luxury to wait as he's not working with the public and doesn't fall under any mandate, yet.

When you don't trust the government, you start distrusting everything that resembles authority. He heard the same number of story of our mutual acquaintances getting unpleasant reaction from vaccination. We each drew opposite conclusion out of the same evidence.

My mom was told she has to repent to Jesus or shes going to hell for getting the vaccine by one of her coworkers. People are really going off the deep end.

I'd love to know what part of the Bible or other religious text/belief people base this stuff on. Even the pope is vaccinated and encourages it. Is it just the covid vaccine these people are against or are they against things like the MMR vaccine as well?
