You know it's funny, we have so many jobs out here that are acting in a manner as if they pay a living wage. They crack the whip all day, be petty over any little thing they can nit pick at, freak out and/or guilt trip if you have to miss work, be it a legitimate reason or not.

Meanwhile the wage they offer doesn't cover the average cost of rent, plus the average cost of utilities, plus the average cost of phone bills, plus the average cost for car payments, plus the average cost of insurances, plus the average cost of groceries, plus the average cost of commuting to work. And these are just the basic necessities I can think of off the top of my head.
