Please stay in LA. We have Hispanic folks here (Houston) who have pride in working and aren’t entitled. You and your man are NOT professional nor are you skilled labor, thus have zero basis to complain about any market.

Funny you say this, ran a Maid Service in DFW for years. Hired a Hispanic maid- who complained to me that she did not think it was fair that I expected her to work legally, she told me she should have everything for free- housing, education, and food, -- and get paid cash always. I experienced this several times, not just once. That's pretty entitled if you ask me. Now I know that's not always the case, but it's what I experienced-- so maybe your situation and experiences are different. And by the way, my grandfather was a Garcia, so no hating on Hispanic people. He worked his butt off his whole life.

Secondly, my husband did the same job for 25 years and worked his way up to management and was so respected at the company he worked for that he could call them tomorrow ( 4 years after layoff) and have a job in Florida or Texas immediately. If that's not professional,-- then your statement adequately sums up all that is wrong in Louisiana.

Was it a special maid service like Stacey used to work for?

I got offered a job in Houston. frick that city. Stayed here. Anymore questions?

No, the problem is greedy corporations that are implementing AI to do peoples jobs-- careful... it may happen to you too.

Oh, I see. Y’all both have a “woe is me” attitude problem. It’s not the company’s fault he doesn’t have valuable, marketable skills. Tell him to go get a specialty welding certification. $35-$40hr plus overtime in most places.

Or just vote for Bernie and you can stick it to all the greedy corporations you want.

No, he made that alone four years ago.

I’ve been told by multiple people that in reality it is the complete opposite of what you said.

never had a bad experience with hiring Hispanics, Guats in FL, Messcans in TX, they work their asses off from start to finish

ETA: been doing it for years(not running for office)

If the position that he had is being automated then he needs to repurpose himself and figure out how he can apply whatever skills it is that he has to another career path. He needs to view this as a kick in the arse and an opportunity.

He worked for a Mortgage Servicing Company for years. His last job was Call Monitoring for a Bank Call Center. The job was automated. It's now being done by a system called Call Miner.

Any number of banks will hire him as a loan officer.

Roots vs vision.

This has turned into another Texans constant itch to bash Louisiana thread. They are becoming more and more subtle.
