The hyper-wealthy don’t care about us. They never have, and never will. We’re just profit margins and risk factors to them. Who cares if babies die? Not them!

Antiwork

If a higher up tells you “you would not have picked this career in health / education / social services if you wanted to make good money” then they’re taking advantage of you.

Sure some people pick jobs that involve helping others, this does not mean the work is easy nor does it justify low wages / denial of raises. That's just a business / state / boss taking advantage of what they perceive to be your good will.

i don't know why ive never seen it calculated by yearly income rather than by hourly wage. i made $8/hour in my first job in high school so seeing $7.25 isn't that shocking to me even tho it's sooo low. but as an adult, seeing that another adult could be working 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, no days off, and take home only 15k makes me want to cry. that's a bonus at my company. even 30k/year has ppl living in their cars where i am. in exactly what city can a human being survive on this??? can someone please name one bc im very close to just giving up on america completely.
