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

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 106 points 1 year ago

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

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 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?"

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 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.

[-] AmarkuntheGatherer@lemmygrad.ml 54 points 1 year ago

~$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.

[-] heiferlips@hexbear.net 91 points 1 year ago

Lol 15 an hour to out-owner the owner.

an ass whipping would be too go for this MF

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 65 points 1 year ago

marx-angry "Pay me $20/hr and I promise not to steal from the register, how about that?"

one of my proudest moments was when my "I will never be friendly to a small business owner" comment became a site tagline

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

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.

[-] Blottergrass@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] LightDelaBlue@hexbear.net 75 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 61 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

[-] LightDelaBlue@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago

"nobody wants to work anymore"

[-] stigsbandit34z@hexbear.net 63 points 1 year ago

This is quite radicalizing 👍

[-] CriticalResist8@hexbear.net 59 points 1 year ago

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

[-] MorelaakIsBack@hexbear.net 49 points 1 year ago
