So if you live in New Mexico you know how highly our people — especially those on the right — hold up our small business owners, so raising the taxes and the minimum wages of cooperations would be EXTREMELY HARD to do without causing a riot and hell to turn over. So here is the idea I've come up with that is the one loophole I could think of. Cooperations in New Mexico pay less than a god damn drop in our federal taxes hence why they are so freakishly powerful down here, and because they are also tied to our small business owners the best option is thusly to tax cooperations and businesses that have a Net Income/Profit of $500,000+ and with thusly pay their employees starting from the bottom rung (be them cashier's, fry cook, etc.) $25/hr and pay 30% more in federal taxes.

Now I know this is almost definitely just something a company pays a few £'s more for to get your attention but it's kind of BS how you can see a job posting labelled as such that's been up for over a month. Either you're a picky bastard because I refuse to believe the upwards of 250 people who I can see have applied for it didn't or couldn't be trained up into fitting the job specification, or more likely, you're not as in need of staff as you are purporting to be. ​ Either that or I'm such an unskilled worthless piece of…

Not sure whether or not this is considered a “hot take”, especially in this subreddit, but… Two weeks' notice (or a month or 60 days or whatever your particular position or employer dictates) when voluntarily leaving your employer is a courtesy, NOT a requirement. I put in two weeks' notice (again, as a courtesy) at one job several years ago and they told me I had to stay until they hired a replacement AND I had to fully train said replacement. I walked out that same day, as soon as I packed my personal effects.
