The owner makes less than $15 an hour then, right? anakin-padme-2

As if the owner would ever do an hour of work in a day

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If the owner just checked in for half an hour a day and fucked off with $10 I'd consider that a win

You don’t know how agonizing and back-breaking it is to spend 20 minutes digging through emails to find my employer identification number and having to drive to Best Buy to get more ink so I can print motivational posters with the Getty watermark still on them. I have to spend minutes of my day contemplating what I should tell other people to do for me. Sometimes I even have to sit down and fill out a sheet of paper! After all is said and done I only have eight hours remaining to decide what boat I should buy to replace my own one.

If you work like two people, shouldn't you be paid at least double minimum wage?

Best I can do is a pizza party once a year.

And if they say it's because of pay, then clearly it wasn't a good exit interview.

Middle school math textbook ass employer

"One person working makes a minimum of 9$/hr. One person doing the work of two people makes $12/hr. How much money is this dipshit stealing from his employees every hour?"

[–] [email protected] 56 points 1 year ago

Nonzero chance this dipshit pays out the nose to some corporate landlord, barely breaks even, and thinks short-changing wages will make up the difference.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 year ago (1 children)

~$98. It's an estimate but minimum wage work in places like coffee shops is up there among jobs that pay lowest per labour value.

Go figure bootlickers condescend to coffee shop workers and say that's "not a real job."

BRINGS ZERO DRAMA

I've seen guild invitations claiming to be "ZERO DRAMA" in numerous online games.

When that's said, the "drama" comes from inside the house and was already there.

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 year ago (2 children)

"NO DRAMA" means tons of drama

Great general rule about people (or in this case, employers) - if they state something that should be a given when no one asked, the opposite is true.

Chuds will try to paint workers who want better pay as being entitled, but good lord small business owners are the most entitled fucks.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Big corpo jobs are fucked, yes, but my worst bosses were small business tyrants. Even corpos have some internal sense of organizational standards that most petty bosses also have to adhere to, but small business tyrants have little crowns on their heads.

Worked at a warehouse for a small family owned business once and now I work at an Amazon warehouse and it's like fucking night and day. At least Amazon managers have no like personal investment in the goings on really, everything is just numbers and you're just one cog out of many so its easy to avoid scrutiny. If a small business tyrant decides they don't like you? Good fucking luck.

I have a similar experience while looking for a place to rent. A few private landlords said "no foreigners", one refused to believe my female S.O. made median wage for a man in our city and demanded to see her tax documents, and one tried inserting a clause into the lease saying I'm not allowed to cook "ethnic foods" (lmao).

At that point even the realtor was shocked at how shitty these people were being and referred me to a big corporate landlord. They asked to see my ID, my pay slips, and then handed me their standard terms and conditions. I moved in that week.

I am in no way defending any landlord ever, but sometimes being just another number can work to your advantage. Numbers don't have skin color or nationality or gender.

I never thought I'd see Amazon as a comparatively better employer.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A lot of people welcomed big box stores and conglomerates into their neighborhoods, and not just for the lower prices.

I'll take the 15$ starting wage, underperform and steal every day because you're still not paying me enough, thank you.

[–] [email protected] 75 points 1 year ago (1 children)

15$ outperform the owner. so why the owner is payed more than 15$ with taht logic?

[–] [email protected] 61 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Damn, so for the last one, you have to be the BEST, and do all of the above, including being a MEDIOCRE person?

"nobody wants to work anymore"

[–] [email protected] 63 points 1 year ago

This is quite radicalizing 👍

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 year ago

If you outshine and outperform the owner by the laws of meritocracy you should get ownership of the business

Today's word of the day is Arson. To use it you might say, "Bro I did some arson when I used my flint and steel to burn down that coffee shop in minecraft."

Sorry to post something definitely unrelated to the OP topic, just wanted to let everyone know.
