These jobs aren't meant to be careers unless you plan to move up in the company. Fuck 'em, I'll go to Wendy's today.
Aren't minimum wages set by age? Over here the minimum wage for a HS kid is much lower than for a 30 year old.
Thats ridiculous, there are staff accountants that make less than that. And yes honestly I am upset that a low skill job would get that much.
that looks even easier than what I had to deal with. we had this really fucked up DOS system about 15 years ago. Once you pressed a button, you were committed and had to cancel an entire order if the customer wanted to change something.
Good for them. Minimum wage is supposed to be a livable wage and there is no way in hell you can live off that in the bay area.
FDR disagrees.That is an absurd statement. Minimum wage is in no way meant to be a living wage.
FDR Quotes on Minimum Wage

“No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country”
That is an absurd statement. Minimum wage is in no way meant to be a living wage. It is an entry level wage for low skill jobs mainly paid to people who are just entering the work force such as teenagers working a part time job. If these folks are trying to raise kids and provide for a family off of a minimum wage paycheck, they probably need to rethink what they do for a living and learn something that pays better.
While the laws governing wages initially set a ceiling on compensation, they were eventually used to set a living wage.
FDR disagrees.
Where do you live? I live in the bay area and $15 an hour really aint shit here.
