I am tired of making 15 an hour!

I am just sick of making 15 an hour. I have been working for nearly 10 years now. 9 of those years was for another company that I should have left a long time ago, but my younger naive self was happy to get paid. Now that I am older and accepting another job at 15 an hour because I spent a whole year looking for a job that paid more and got nothing. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. I have plenty of office experience, customer service experience and other skills. I feel that I should AT LEAST be making 20 an hour. Heck people even want 20 an hour to be the new standard so what gives? I don't feel that I am old yet I am under 30. Yet when I apply to jobs offering 15 an hour I get hired almost instantly. I know…

Is it wrong to feel like I’m getting purpose from work?

I don't have an issue with working I guess but I feel miserable trying to keep up with the demands of bigger people than me, my body hurts. The only thing I really wanna do is live off grid and grow my own crops and just be free from the artificial construct that we've trapped ourselves into. Agree or disagree I just don't want to be stuck working like my life depends on it until I'm 80. Anyone else share the same thoughts or similar

Do you want my kidneys while you’re at it?

New job offer, asked me to do a background check. Cool. Why does the background check require me to enter SEVEN years' worth of address history and my parent's information? Not for $15/hr, bye.

Downtown should pull itself up by its bootstraps.

I'm tired. My friends and family are tired. The American workforce is tired. Big business is far from tired, and will always want more. I don't pretend to have the solution, but it's clear we need to make our voices heard again.

I got to leave work two hours early today.

Business was running slow since yesterday and my supervisor had me do these boring, meaningless tasks just to keep busy, like check every damn row in the stock area to see if there's trash. Usually I just pull up stock during work, which is less boring. I didn't think how much more I could take doing these simple, boring, mundane tasks than pull up stock.
