i just feel like if a job pays less than $15/hr… they shouldn’t ask for experience.
like if im going to get a minimum wage job, im going to do the bare minimum.
i just don’t understand how we’re “all an important part of the company” and the pay gap is so big
Also if I’m being paid minimum wage, don’t expect me to be passionate about whatever it is you want me to do.
minimum wage = minimum effort
And minimum commitment. Give me a reason to be loyal. Ducking pay me
Peak capitalism expects maximum effort and maximum commitment for minimum pay and minimum loyalty.
When the employer’s attitude is ‘you’re replaceable’ then the employee attitude is ‘this is just a temporary job’
I’m always seeing articles in HR industry publications and stuff that bemoan the “erosion of employee loyalty” and how employees are so willing to jump ship if someone offers them a few more bucks and like…yeah…because y’all made it super clear that we’re all replaceable cogs in the corporate machine, if you’ve got no loyalty toward your employees, what kind of brass balls do y’all have that you expect them to still be loyal to you anyway? This is a two way street, fuckers.
not to mention that the majority of jobs available are part time, the want to pay people $10 an hour (or less) and give them 20-25 hours of work a week then act surprised when people are always quitting. at some point all these business people somehow forgot that you have to give people a REASON to stay. the ‘we’re giving you a job what more do you want from us’ schtick is old
(and I’m not even going to get into the fact that in our current labor climate, people are considered LAZY if they’re not willing to work 2-3 jobs to still find themselves struggling to survive. if I get into that, we’ll be here for days)
Not only that, but employers are complaining about no call no shows even more now when its like… you as an employers can not even bother calling me after giving me onboarding paperwork so i show up at my first day of work only to be told i wasn’t actually hired and they went with someone else.
Fuck you, I’ll no call no show if i want.
My current job at least gives me good benefits, good pay and a good reason to stay.
