Hello folks,
I think about posting to this sub quite a bit and never do, finally changing that. I work in traffic control for one of the biggest companies and they screw us over at every chance they can get. I finally get paid 16 and hour after almost 2 years (2 years in October). We are out here protecting work crews that are making 30 to 60 dollars and hour. While we are the first line of defense and basically fodder to protect them. There are accidents happening all the time in our zone. Literally yesterday a suv came flying and smashed into an employees truck while cleaning up the zone and breaking signs down. I can't even save up enough money with bills and everything to buy a car to get a different job. I'm stuck risking my life for chump change. Having to work 80 hours a week to have a little extra money but with inflation that's getting slimmer even. How is this life? How is my life worth a measly 16 dollars an hour while my job makes sure everyone is safe while they fix the things that keep America running?(gas lines, power lines, all utilities) Fuck the greed of this country. I get why the suicrate is rising but like why haven't we come together and stopped and changed all this?
Edit** oh I'm a felon for selling weed so that's another reason I'm stuck here.
