    Wow very aggressive comments (left leaning) in here!

    Everybody is thinking about the workers, but did anyone stop and think about the shareholders for a minute? Do you know the calorific power of a $1 bill, compared to a $100 bill? Well, it’s actually the same because they have the same size and composition. But the emotional heat they produce is not the same at all. You have to burn a very large amount of $1 bills to warm our hearts. And it’s a lot of work. For our servants anyway. Increase the wages, and you reduce the number of large denomination bills we can burn in our marble chimneys. That literally makes us sad.

    Think about it. By increasing the workers wage, what you really do is pile up more misery on the shareholders.

    Please 🙏 🥺 we need this. Well not really but hey

    Minimum wage doesn’t even really apply anymore since it has not been updated in forever. It really should be $20 an hour now.

    I’m gonna put in minimum effort regardless of pay. It’s capitalism. I’m being forced to work so I don’t die. I don’t want to work. But since I have to, I will do the bare minimum.

      So you think the rest of us should work, keep the world turning and support you? You can always homestead some land, grow/hunt/catch your own food, weave your own clothes, all that. LOL, if you think you’re forced to work now.

      Haven’t been at my job for a month, GM and 2 of the AGMs are already noticing me.
      I work hard, am already stronger mentally and physically, already getting better work and better schedules. Got pulled in the GM’s office while walking by, “Hey Shalafi, we’ve been talking about you! How would you feel about doing $better_job next month?”

      Meanwhile, the lazy get part-time work on the shitty night shift. You’re a night shift guy.

        You’re the same MF who will refuse wage raises, deny days off, fire people with cancer who miss work, and take credit for your employees’ work when you make management. You’re the problem.

        The good ol’ argument: You don’t like capitalism? Be a cave man. XD And yes, I am working night shifts. I get to do less and get paid 20% more than the day shift.

        You are a fool and they will use you up and discard you like a tissue. There is a vast difference between taking pride in good work and selling yourself short.

        I am sure the folks on night shift know of your attitude and leave shit for you to clean up, not because they are lazy but because they hate you.

        Imagine thinking the point of life is to work, and not to live. Imagine being that far up your own ass.

        I’d pity you if you weren’t so smug.

        Congratulations on appeasing middle managers, the laziest people taking the most and doing the least are at the top of the hierarchy, not the bottom.

        Ah, good old capitalism apologia. I’m not sure the billionaires need your fervent protection, but whatever helps you sleep at night.

        Also if you think you will see any of the profits from that better job, that’s quite humorous. You will, at most, get a tiny raise that isn’t even comparable to the amount your boss puts in their pocket. Maybe a pizza party.

    This is my motto, my teenage daughter is going into the work force eventually and I drill this into her head, i also remind her that your coworkers aren’t your family and your boss is not your friend. Don’t do “favours” for your employer who can afford to pay you, do favours for your friends not your job

      What kind of weak ass question is that?

      Pippi and her magic horse are about rebellion, about political and social upheaval. Why with a single hand, she can topple oppressive regimes and free the proletariat.

      This sticker is based on the Wendy’s logo. The restaurant was named after the founder’s daughter and the picture of the girl on the logo is based on her.

      Imagine being so stupid that you think A) fast food is minimum effort and B) $20 an hour is more than most people make in fucking California

        It was mostly meant to poke fun at how fast food employees tend to mess up orders or not try, despite getting the massive pay raise. I came from browsing all channels and the post image was amusing so I thought it was a less serious thread, it wasn’t until I started getting downvoted that I realised this was in Work Reform. I still kinda stand by my statement, in that when it comes to people in California (that even care about what the minimum wage is,) fast food workers are probably out-earning the majority of them, considering minimum wage is still $16.50 for everyone else.

        The post implies that if you’re making minimum wage, you should put the minimum effort, I don’t disagree with that. However, fast food workers in California do not make minimum wage as of 2024, I was implying that they shouldn’t continue to put in the ‘minimum effort’ and at least get people’s orders right. Don’t put words in my mouth as I never once implied that fast food as a job is minimum effort, especially after the change here.

    If you abuse cattle for a living and fish for a hobby, why should I lift a finger to help. Helping you harms those I love incalculably more than it aids you.
