I am on the Facebook group which basically serves as a casual work board. It's for lorry drivers in Britain.
Some guy comes and says he is searching for work paying at least 28 per hour.
Running rates currently where we are are at 18 per hour, but you can get some gigs for more (I was paid 26 per hour for a few gigs).
What people do? Do they support him? Do they think “well, perhaps we should all demand more?”
No, they had mocked and ridiculed him so hard, that he had to turn off comments. Then they copied his ad to the new thread and continue doing so.
And this is why they won't be ever paid more. And the rest of us along with them 🙁
