Low wages... High responsibility... The Salesforce Talent ecosystem needs to start "standing up" and realizing the value they provide to businesses that use Salesforce... Quick Question: Why do you think the Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series, and the Chicago White Sox "suck"? It's not that hard to figure out... Salesforce Customers: If you want a Salesforce CRM: - That is built that way you envisioned it - That provides actual "Value" to your business - That can scale along with your company - That you have confidence in - That provides an exceptional customer experience - That your users "actually" love to use and adopt - That takes the constant agony, stress and suprises out of the projects and implementations - That impacts your overall investment in about 100 other areas... Then, stop looking for discount talent and partners that have little experience and knowledge and start INVESTING in your Salesforce Platform. Because at some point, possibly in the near future... The Top/Great/Good Salesforce Talent won't be around anymore... And they will move to other technologies that companies actually invest in... And you will be left with a platform that you invested $$$ in, without the "Team" that will win you the equivalent of your World Series... ✌️ My 5 minute thought for the day... Thanks Darrell Gallegos for joining The 360 Salesforce Mastermind podcast, great discussion...that sparked this post... Salesforce Salesforce Partners

You know I posted another comment about the labor market dwindling by quality and wages due to the simple increase in numbers of available candidates, notice I did not say experienced or qualified. A LinkedIn member decided it was insightful, to say, and I am paraphrasing. "It's a capitalistic market and demand and supply... Why pay more when you can get cheaper resources...." This enraged me because this is the problem with a specific mindset. If people will devalue themselves because they need work and to pay the bills, HOW LOW WILL IT GO! You flood any environment with numbers QUALITY and WAGES go down! This is WHY I voice the oppinion of being weary of entering the Salesforce career path. Barriers to entry are low thus open the flood gates. Some people need a lesson in labor force structure and stability, and to quit using the same tired arguement of Supply and Demand! That is the problem!!! End of RANT
