It’s absurd lol my job was complaining they can’t find anyone to work, yet they’re offering $16/hr for machinists that would need to drive an hour just to get here… It’s a joke
Damn I’m a Machinist with only mediocre experience and even I don’t get out of bed for less than $28. That shit’s skilled labor even if a bunch of yuppie MBA’s don’t think it takes any skill.
I’m not even a machinist, I kinda wish I took that route. I came in as the lead assembler figuring I could prove my worth and “move up” into something better. Instead I became essential and am stuck lol
Hmm, do I take the $16/hr that’s 1 hour away or the $17/hr that’s 90 minutes away…
Someone I know that’s retired now (must be nice) said their government pension went up 6% last year because it follows inflation / cost of living. Ain’t nobody getting 6% salary raises in this economy, most are lucky if they get any raise at all, which really counts as a pay cut if food and rent keep going up
Nope lol it’s just how far you’d have to be to be able to afford to even live here. Long island is stupid expensive. I need to move, but I’m “uneducated” so I’m pretty much worthless lol
Mmm, I’m sure a pizza party will make up for them not being able to pay rent
What’s in the box?
A cat, of course. Why else would boxes exist, if not for cats?
Does not work very well. Raising pat only works for about 6 to 8 months. Then you need another raise. So to stay truly happy and productive, more elements need to be introduced to the equation.
This is true. No realistic pay raise can compensate for a toxic work environment. At some point, most people will value their mental health over high pay.
