They had a report about the plight of employers right now in hiring and retaining good employees. Some employers are having to resort to . . . brace yourself . . . paying higher wages. I know! Horrifying. They talked to a fellow in Florida who was working as a paralegal. He started looking around, and found a firm that would pay him more and allow him to work remotely. And instead of loyally staying with the firm that paid him less and was more demanding of his time, he . . . I can hardly type this, he . . . [choke] he . . . [sob] he LEFT to go work for the other firm! And the old employer was powerless to stop him!

So you can see why the popular media outlets are in high dudgeon.
