I think you are confusing canned tuna with canned sardines. If not then different brands maybe.

Raise the pay.

It is not something a Jedi would teach you.

Simple. If you own a business and lets keep numbers small and say you made $100,000 profit a month for all 12 months. So you just made 1.2 million dollars. Lets say you have two employees and they are unskilled labor meaning you can hire anyone and train them to do the job in a week or less. How much of that 1.2 million dollar pie are you going to give them? Most people who don't own a business would say $100,000 a year each easy. You would still have a million dollars and paying them 100K a year is a livable wage for the vast majority of the US, fair enough, and you know the two people you hired would be loyal and would not quit unless they had no choice. Business owners think the opposite. They want to pay you as little as possible to get the job done so they would say $30,000 a year and if they can pay you less they would because that business owner wants to keep as much money for themselves as possible even though they can afford to pay more. That compounds since they are unskilled labor and they can get anyone off the street to do their job.

No one opens a business to make other people rich. They open it to make themselves and only themselves, maybe a few others if they have partners or close family, rich and they care little for the people who work for them if at all. Some businesses do take care of their employees well like Buc-ee's but they are the exception, not the rule.

In short employees are seen as a cost like rent for the building and not as actual people. If they could replace you with a machine/computer, they will do it in a heart beat. You are a resource, nothing more nothing less and that is why the department that deals with you and hires/fires people is called human resources.

You are as expendable as the pens in the office supply cabinet.
