I just had to come back here because this shyt has me ready to rant like noooo tomorrow.

Dig this. I dont feel sorry for these folks one bit. You know how many fukking times it was busy and we got paid minimum wage. We basically worked through everything. The raise would be 15 fukking cents. If anything, that shyt motivated me, made me humble and saw that shyt for what it is.

Hell, even this whole quitting your job makes me sick because i remember when i did the same exact shyt these folks did and I WAS STRUGGLING TO FIND WORK. As i said, im living or have lived the life that a lot of these guys are speaking about but either didnt live that shyt or they forgot where they came from. Either way, real heads know what that struggle life is like and theres folks going through way worse than these fools who are chose to do that shyt and are quitting.

shyt should motivate you to want or go for better but folks dont see it that way. Youre supposed to work there and find a better job IF you can but that shyt is temporary. All im gonna say is just be real because its a cold world out here. Be ready to freeze if you dont have a safety net


so because you endured poverty wages, you want others too as well?

societal progress would stagnate with that sort of mindset.
before those john deere workers recently ended their strike after coming to an agreement, they rejected the first offer that was made to them which would have ended pensions for new hires. you have to always think about the future and not just yourself.

I notice the people who get upset about this stuff, it's not because they are against a livable wage. It's an ego thing.

It's also a convenience thing, cheap an easy is more important than human beings.

They feel they earned the right to be in a class above these workers.

If these low skill workers close the gap on their wages, then in their mind, it lessens their achievement.

I'm not as well off if you're doing better. They base how well they are doing by how big the gap is between them and others, not by if they are happy or comfortable.

It's like when people say "I'm an EMT and make 15$ an hour why should fast food workers make the same as me?"

Notice how their thought was why do fast food workers make the same as me. Not why don't I make more than fast food workers. The irony is this is the same argument the fast food workers are making. They just don't realize they are also being fukked.

People don't feel good about themselves unless they know others are doing worse, it's a sad fact.

On point!

I’ve seen that mindset in this very thread

So you want everyone to struggle because you did? A garbage human being.

Nope. This generation has learned something we didn’t. fukk money, especially at a young age. Imagine breaking yourself down for fukking fast food, dealing with shytty managers and shytty customers.

this country is heading somewhere different and I’m glad. Soon enough the fast food model as it is won’t be sustainable. Kids don’t wanna kill they self for a chick just to play some bum ass student loans for the rest of they life

Yup.

this gen is 1000% bytchmade but they aren’t gonna learn this life long (often soul breaking) lessons about the workforce that so many before them learn the hard way.

the days of graduating high school and getting a job building cars at the GM plant are over. But at least back then you could work, always have steady work, but a house, whip and there wouldn’t be this insane constant threat of the rug being pulled from under you.

I understand how the system works breh. Its fukked up and its by design. Capitalism, breh. If you want change, you have to destroy the system. Otherwise shyts always gonna be a pyramid scheme because thats what it always was, is and will be as long as this shyt is what it is.

Alot of republican talking points about why the working class shouldn't make anymore money being thrown around here pretty liberally.
:mjpls:

I'll never understand OTHER working class people bootlicking the corporate elites and rich to stagnant other people's wages.

If kids in fast food and retail are making 20 bucks an hour and you are such skilled and veteran labor with a so called "good job".......then why are you not making so much more than them.....

If they make more....u should make more....pushing them down only justifies keeping your own wage lower.
