I am sorry for the grammar, English it's not my first language. So today I was in the car and the commentators were talking about some famous people here in Italy who own restaurants and how they were having a bad time with young employees. They said that we don't want to make sacrifice and how we are entitled. They proceeded to talk about 3 different restaurants that said those things and it had a massive backslash on them, they were shit-stormed on Facebook and on the reviews. Damn I was grinning hard hearing this since I worked too in this industry. I sacrificed 7 years of my youth (15-22) with a ridiculous pay than decided I had to go back to study so I could get life a little easier. I am really happy that gen Z and millennials don't want to be slaves anymore. Keep it up guys…
Firstly I agree minimum wages do not provide a minimum standard of living, but at the same time a part of me finds it hard to support larger minimum wage increase requests. I know people are struggling, I am struggling too, so I can't imagine the struggle for those on the bare minimum but we all started somewhere. For example with a BA and large student loans I earn $19 p.h and have been in the industry for over 5 years. A minimum wage increase to $15 would mean no wage increase to myself despite large amounts of student debt and years of experience. Is it jealousy, a lack of empathy, my inability to forecast future job demand, inability to let go of the wasted years studying and accruing debt or a combination of the above that makes it hard to support these increases? Anyone else here feel the same?…

Quitting without notice?
So I've been in my job for a while now, Not too long after I began the job I began getting very very stressed out with it. It is a work from home job and lately it hasn't been worth the stress and anxiety it's been causing me. I have learning disabilities and it makes things so much harder. I asked for a leave to get myself together bc I was so out of it so they placed me on a medical leave so I can take care of things. I am still on this leave but I'm due to go back very soon. My partner and I have been planning for a very long time to buy a van and travel. That opportunity is finally coming to light and we are going to be doing that within the next few weeks. So with that being said I don't want…
