Say I make $19/hour working my job, which requires computer knowledge, knowledge of the aerospace industry, direct contact with customers and suppliers and directing work flow from the stock room to the assembly floor and ultimately to shipping, why does a guy flipping burgers get $15? That would me make look even more underpaid. A job that can be done by a high school freshman should not pay close to work that requires actual skill.
If you get a $5 bump to drop fries in grease then I better see a bump too, since this hike only benefits miminum wage workers at the expense of people like me. Want to be a minimum wage worker? That is fine, but don't buy phones, pay for cable or internet or have video games. Ride a bike to work and don't worry about having a car and paying for insurance and gas. It's the price you pay. I know, I used to work at McDonalds. I used to work at Sports Authority. I broke my ass and moved up, then used my cridentials to move to another job and now work Aerospace, where I began as a stock room clerk and now work as an Expeditor. You want more money? Earn it, like I did. Earn it, like my girl did, with me picking up extra shifts so she can drop out of work and go back to school. She went from $8/hour at Petco to now making $32/hour doing in home pediatric care. We did this while also having a new born. If I can do it you can too.
Yeah I might sounds like an asshole, but I am tired of people expecting everything to just be handed to them so they can live and have nice thing, especially when they don't end up being the one paying for it all. |
