Y'all ever look at low wage employees and be like damn?

[Deus]

Walmart and McDonalds could pay higher wages without raising prices and still make money, but according to Wall Street it wouldn't be enough money and the bigs would make less even though they have millions and billions but they can't have that so people on the bottom suffer.

Greed is a powerful thing.

One of my old classmates seen me working at Walmart and this was seen some years later after we graduated. I felt like a straight loser

A guy I knew from high school was walking to the gym and caught me as I was walking in the liquor store at 3pm. Felt like a fukking loser

 

[Wink Beaufield]

I know the feeling. I went from working as a baggage handler at the airport hustling for them tips, then working at TSA dealing with that trash then working at a call center. Working them jobs humbled the fukk outta me and when I did make it to that "good paying job" the feeling of making it feels like the world was lifted off my shoulders.

Now, I do what I can to put people on to jobs that can get them out of retail or warehouse hell.

Treat everyone with respect. We all just trying to live in this rat race. 3 years ago I made 11/hr now I'm at 26/hr doing the exact same thing. I dont want to be but I dont have a formal education so I lucked out getting a custodian job that pays full time at that rate. I'm just stacking my money til I can start my own business, all I do is work, workout, and read business books.

I had a similar thing happen back when I worked R&D at HP...

Went to get a last minute christmas gift for a cousin or whatever at an outlet mall... went into some random thift shop and got her an alarm clock with birds on it or some shyt...

Man the dude who checked me out was a dude I went to college with...he looked ROUGH...like sleeping on a park bench ROUGH...

He wanted that commission so damn bad...he was boxing out anyone else at the store from talking to me scared they were going to take his sale of this shytty little 5 dollar clock...

I was like damn the game cold

Also I worked at UPS for a few months...the first check I got

Straight up told the supervisor something GOT to be wrong with my check cause this aint enough...I done lost 7 pounds this week alone loading these heavy ass packages...

Looked me dead in my eye and was like it's all there

Had to double them apply clicks on careerbuilder and monster and indeed.com...I was like I can't live like this a second longer than I have to

UPS was ...I knew a chick who was legit making like 30 dollars a week working their

Why would anyone choose crazy low paying jobs? Go work at Winn Dixie or Publix lol

They want to be in the CEO position that exploit the workers and work them to death. IF the CEO and shareholders took a 25% decrease, the quality of living in America will increase a lot.

I hate ceo pay but this an urban myth. If you took ceo pay and have it to workers it’s be a drop in the bucket.


If Walmart ceo got $25 million and they gave it to their employees. Take 1.5 just used based employees. Each one would get $16 and change or 30 cents extra a week

I always salute pretty women that work low wages or any wages period. Cuz it’s always an easy way out ladies. You sell that hole and it gets way easier

I'm talking about other execs and shareholders, too.

 

[The Wall Is Undefeated!]

Retail work is soul destroying.
However, I always follow the Golden Rule. You'll be suprised how simple P's and Q's can get you far in life.

It’s still pretty small man. But I get ur point. I wish we had more employee owned firms in the us

 

[TEKBEATZ]

Nah, I don’t judge people based on their income because I realize some bullshyt could happen and I could be right there with them.

Facts

 

[KING WILL]

Not like damn, but I do go out of my way not to be a$$holes to those workers.

MFers love shytting on em for some reason.

Damn, the Coli must be all undercover cacs, Asians, Afric00ns and ass kissing negroes. If you have a high paying job, chances are you were lucky AND knew the right people or came from a well connected family. Poverty is systemic in Amerikkka. Some of y'all claim to have grown up poor in horrible circumstances, yet look down on low wage workers. Doesn't add up. So y'all broke generations of poverty in one generation? Everyone on the Coli is a Jay Z Jr? Yeah, ok. And no, I don't believe in meritocracy. A lot of life boils down to luck. I graduated from college during the 09' recession and people I graduated with who spoke three different languages and had engineering degrees couldn't get a job at Wendy's back then . But I know folks ten years older than me who graduated during the tech boom and got six figure jobs in tech fresh out of college with English degrees. Everyone I knew from college who got good jobs and never had to struggle all had connections. Higher education meritocracy is really just a cover up for white privilege. Black college grads have the same likelihood of getting hired as a white man who is a convicted felon.

I don't care what the news says, the economy is still really bad. Unemployment is low because underemployment is on the rise. You shouldn't tell anyone to eat cake because you could be back to eating Ramen real soon. Especially if you black or even just not white. And black people who work in high paying white collar jobs kiss cac ass daily. Government is probably the only place where upper earning black people are allowed to be black culturally.

It's better then doing nothing. People out here havinv kids just so they can get welfare and housing. At least these people are working. It could just be a side hustle, or if they have someone they are with taking care of most of the bills then that can bring in a little more money.

One thing I learned is to never judge a book by its cover. I've worked in warehouses with dude working towards getting thier certification. My friend at this same warehouse got me into investing. I know a girl that day trades during the day and at night works jobsike this.

Sometimes it's just a matter of convenience.

 

[Based Lord Zedd]

I don't look down on people in low paying jobs or treat them poorly.
At the same time, I don't feel sorry for them, I've managed before and a lot of people do it to themselves.
I can respect someone doing their best and trying to make it, but not someone who is OK staying in a shytty position.
