Antiwork

I started in heavy industries in 2010 at 24/hr. Company interviews me for a job at 22/hr. Businesses really are racing to the bottom

I'm not some green fresh out of college guy anymore. With 8+ years in various stages of construction to maintenance of wind turbines I have a decent set if skills. Yet it amazes me the few offers I've had this year are less than what I started for and even less when inflation is considered. Base pay for heavy industries should now be 30 and up. Anyone offering 18 an hour (which did come up) for general heavy industries is just to insulting potential employees.
