At 15? 16? How would they get a job related to their career field? How do they even know what career they will have at 15? At 15 i thought id be a wallstreet banker type guy :mjlol:

now i throw events/concets for a living :mjlol:

People acting like they gotta retire from these job.. Work that shyt for a year or two while striving for better..

I did say people can start their own self employed business a few posts back.. I'll see if anyone addressed that.

I think a large part is the "small business owner" and "franchisee" need to realize they are not needed...the physical business boom from the last 20 years is dead. Just like an influx of lawyers from a few years ago...just because you think you owed some shyt doesn't make it true.

Might need to go get you a job at Amazon or Payless :francis::mjlol:

Oh so you've been capitalizing off a disparity created before you were born. I'm sorry that the success of small business's was predicated off an unsustainable cost model. It was a bubble that was going to burst no matter what.

Why don't you pick yourself up by the boot straps then? This is a free market, this is the gamble you took.

exactly and now huge corporations are meeting some labor demands which smaller businesses will find difficult to compete with. had wages adjusted accordingly with living costs overtime decades ago, they wouldn't be in this situation. workers can't be blamed while they're facing a $300+ per month rent increase, increasing childcare and school tuition too.

the pandemic just exacerbated it.







How is this different from teens quiting jobs to help out at home picking cotton?

Why are you posting these tweets as if this is something new?

so are jobs not supposed to exist for the 15-20 year olds ? Everyone jsut supposed to make the same money rather 15 or 35 that is content living at the bare minimum ? No need to strive for more ? 32 hours a week (part time hours) would need to be around $15-16.

an extra $5 a hour across lets say 10 employees comes out to near $200,000 extra a year in payroll.

To scoop chicken.

We raised min wage in California and most jobs even chipotle and mcondalds now offer near $5 more hour than min wage.

Still cant find employees. The goal posts will always be moved.

the real truth is, kids just dont want to work anymore (although I do agree their should be a cap on how many orders a place should take an hour to maintain a healthy moral and workload. These places arent built for mass digital orders + being open inside, but this isnt a hourly issue, this is a logistics issue)

The almighty free market has spoken. :lolbron:

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.

:salute:

Adults, who compose the majority of people working these jobs, shouldn’t receive a livable wage because teenagers would earn too much money:dahell:
#ColiRepublicans is reaching new levels :dead:
Right. nikkas are brain dead. Chipotles are usually only open until like 9 pm. Teenagers are obviously in school during the daytime and can’t really work until like 4pm, so who is working from 10am until then? Adults.

Then you have the 24hour fast food joints. Teenagers can’t work overnight so who do they think is working there from 12 am until 4 pm, when the kids get out of school?

Why would a 15 year old kid need a liveable wage ?

They deserve better pay regardless. Fast food is fukking hard. I worked McDonolds when I was in high school and 25 years later, it’s still the hardest job I ever had. Try washing fukking greasy ass dishes every night for two hours or trying to serve a bus load full of people who just popped in 10 minutes before close time. Going home every night smelling like French fries. Having bum ass customers and managers talk to you any kind of way.

If you can’t afford to pay your workers livable wages, your business model is fukked up and you need to be put out of business. Simple and plain.
