TranscriptA tweet saying "100k a year to take someone's order at Taco Bell . Totally makes sense.". It has a reply saying "Where the hell did you get that number? If someone's working enough hours to make that on $15 an hour, they deserve it. $15 an hour, a person working 40 a week makes $31,200 a year." the reply has 2 likes.

365 days a year * 24 hours a day * $15 = $131,400. So their estimate was short by $31,000, but it was just an estimate! Stop making fun of them for being a little wrong in their math.

365.25 days * 18 hours, 15 minutes and 14 seconds * $15 = $100,000

Since the average human can stay alive for extended periods with 5 hours of sleep per night, there is nearly 45 minutes of free time per day included where the employees can take toilet breaks and eat! What a great job actually.

Well, that’s pushing. Nobody can work 24 hours a day. They meant that if you work a little over 18 hours a day, you can make $100k.
