I currently work for a pretty large promotional product and apparel distributor here in the US. Coming from my last job, I am making about twice what I was making there a week and 6 months in got a dollar raise so not much to complain about at face value I guess.
However I work in a team of two. The person that I replaced took the position for 6 months before they decided to leave, and now the other person on the team is leaving after 10 years. I talked to her today during a brief retraining and she asked me if I wanted to know why she was leaving and I said yes. She showed me what the sales parter makes a week.
For reference, this dude does almost absolutely nothing aside from complain about orders not being processed quickly.
4 months into the year and this dude has made TWICE my yearly salary.
400k a year to sit at home while I make slightly over 10% of that and it’s fucking mind blowing.
Just venting but must be fucking nice to exploit the labor of other people like that.
