LOL 30 dollars an hour to sell a cell phone get the fukk out of here.

Last time I was in the store dude didn't even know the difference from a USB-C cable and Thunderbolt 3 cable.
Minimum wage when you take inflation into account is 23 per hour. This is just a starting number. They’re 100% shooting for 23 or above and that’s what they should be doing. Also quit the boot licking

all these corporations starting to get put on notice

paying employees shyt so they can fatten the pockets of the rich even more...that wave might be drying up.

Need to bring back dem top tax rates from back in the 70s while we at it. Rich have been getting away with murder since Reagan.

Cant wait till balance returns to the workers :mjgrin:

TLRepublicans mad that people not making $8 an hour anymore in most places in the US.

Wondering what skills/qualifications one would require to be compensated $30/hr for selling Apple products to retail consumers
You're stuck on a fixed #... would you have a problem with $20?

Look at inflation and cost of living over the past $20-30 years. Look at the price of housing, education and child care compared to record profits over the same time frame and make it make sense.

If you feel like they're making too much compared to your work, then take it up with your employer. Everyone should be pushing for more money, not crying about how much people are getting for what seems like easier work than yours.

Good. A lot of idiots like @jdubnyce don't realise that the way we are living right now isn't right.

If you're working full time, should be able to meet the cost of living. Working full time in a role that requires a special set of skills should afford you perks.

We have become conditioned over the years to believe the entry level for meeting the cost of living is a job requiring a special set of skills.

Mind you, this is the time when Baby Boomers are in their late 60s-mid 70s and know that they gonna have to retire (very) shortly. While at the same time, Gen Z not budging or backing down.

This creates leverage for the worker not seen since the mid 1990s :ahh:

next step is going back to heavily taxing the Rich AND corporations. Time to bring back true small business and not letting corporations run this country.

all these paid for politicians with Corporate Deep pockets and agendas need to be put on notice.
