I think all companies should take a poll on how many of their employees have a second job and if it’s over like 45% they should have to increase their pay because obviously it’s more enough for someone to live off of

Yeah but I also think we need to determine which jobs should be lived off of. People talk about livable wage but not everything should be. Pushing carts should not be a livable wage, and I did that for months. Working BOH at Chick-fil-A isnt supposed to be livable for a single person with a whole house, as someone who did that gor a year and a half.

If you mean like significant work, like youre an accountant then sure. Basically if an employer expects and age and experience indicative of an adult than they should receive pay indicative of being an adult with bills.

Well I think working at a fast food restaurant is a job that a lot of adults have Being an accountant requires a college degree which a lot of adults don’t have if you’ve been incarcerated that makes it hard to have jobs like that as well and these ppl still need to pay for their homes and groceries and such

If all you do is be a chipotle cashier, you don’t deserve a house, insurance, a car, food, etc. It sounds hard but genuinely think about it, what you take vs what you give. Someone who builds houses, you earned that, accountant you earned that, IT, most any trade, school teacher, doctor. Genuinely think about what one brings vs gives to the world. A 35 year pushing carts does no deserve more than 15 dollars an hour

I think that is a very privileged outlook not everyone has the opportunity to get a college degree or learn a trade. There are people who have disabilities or other circumstances that prevent them from being able to do certain jobs. I think every person deserves to have the basic necessities to live food, shelter, water, clothes. Denying someone that because they are less fortunate isn’t right.

It’s also very hard to have jobs in the service industry i used to work at Starbucks and it was a rlly hard job customers were very rude and demanding and I had to respond professionally to the man that just cursed me out while I make 10 other orders and I have been there since 4am. No one is shit on like people in the service industry they deserve to be compensated for that.
