become food for the poor.

My mom started her own business during Covid so I’ve just been working with her. Quit that dead end job. Even the most menial task means more when you know it’s all going to benefit you and your family.

 

[MenacingMonk]

I quit my job at the beginning of August.

 

[JNew]

I quit my job at the beginning of August.

what was your reasoning for quitting?

 

[Reno89]

There's going to be a ton of people quitting every month for a while. These jobs are not paying enough for the current cost of living.

Joe Biden doing his best to ruin the economy damn worst president ever smh.

People talking the risk on being self employed good for them

more like waiting on another stimulus

 

[Joe Budden]

People been hinting at this for years. These high turnover jobs with low wage, bad benefits and heavy workload are bad for the economy. Due to inflation everything going up except wages. Who would want to work these demanding jobs when the income is not livable in today’s world and outweighs their expenses. You in poverty living check to check. People talking about robots like McDonald’s can barely keep the ice cream machine working. What makes you think they gonna be upkeep multiple expensive robots in multiple locations. That’s not even logical.

Great post

 

[Action Mike]

A lot of these jobs be on that fukk shyt. I don't blame people for leaving these companies that don't do right by their employees. I'm thinking about leaving my job. There's been way too much bullshyt going on this year but I'm trying to hold out until at least the start of next year. I want to be self employed but I know that will take some time and I need a consistent cash flow in the meantime

Every American is now used to free stimmy money from the magickal Federal Reserve.

But don't worry, the soaring inflation you're now experiencing is only "transitionary".

I think you under estimate the cost of wages. Usually wages are a company's highest expense.

If a McDonald's has 30 employees that make $500 a week that means they shell out $15,000 a week. There are 52 weeks in a year. That $780,000 a year.

They can pay 5 people $70,000 a year to preform maintenance or work in the back of the house to maintain the business.

Even if you tack on an additional $30,000 maintenance cost the company came up $400,000 by firing employees. That doesn’t include the money they save on benefits, workers compensation, unemployment cost etc.

It's makes perfect logical sense which is why they are doing it.

Where in fast food are you making $500 a week

I don't work fast food. It's an easy number to illustrate a point. It's an extreme low ball for employees and wages. The actual savings is in the millions.
