If an employer can fill your empty spot within a couple days and your replacement can work just as efficient if not better than you, you're not underpaid. Your job just doesn't require much skill. I make $17/hr to simply put a box in a container. Instead of being angry at the companies that are paying us, I think we should shift our anger towards the companies that overcharge us on certain necessities based on the average amount of money we all make. I don't like the fact that I have to pay damn near $5 per gallon of gas out her in California but it's not my jobs fault.

[@prodby2j]

@NarrowRoy CrashDummie I get that but can you really be upset if the rich people you hate are the ones providing millions of jobs to the poor? You're the one that has to submit a job application and if you feel that job doesn't compensate you enough for the work you put in then go find one that does. They can raise the minimum wage to $20/hr nation wide, but what difference would it make if gas prices, food, and rent continue to rise? I don't think people understand that the system was never meant for us to be financially free. Small businesses are being forced to shutdown due to these new unfeasible wage laws and big corporations will continue to generate billions in revenue.

[@prodby2j]

@NarrowRoy CrashDummie lol as I stated before, I make $17/hr.. I'm not even middle class bro. I'm not trying to defend the rich, but I think what alot of people don't get is that we're not that special.. If a fucking robot can do the exact same task as you at a much higher efficiency rate, who are you to say you're deserving of more. I see alot of people at my job half-assing their work and complaining just like you. They come and go.. and somebody who actually wants to work fills their spot within days. Sure a business is nothing without the workers, but a worker is easily disposable. You don't think these rich guys have the ability to gather a bunch of dudes from 3rd world countries to come down here and do our jobs for us? This is why I believe we should be focusing on the rich people that are overcharging us because sitting on your ass while bills are constantly stacking up is just counter-productive. Poor people shouldn't have egos bigger than their wallets, but that's just my opinion.

Boomer here. I know the usual stereotype we fall into in the minds of millennial folks, and younger. But I have little experience with that stereotype. My father was a butcher providing for a woman and three children. We had enough, but that is all. My wife grew up in a dying coal mining town. Her father never learned to read or write. She was often on the edge of starvation. I worked my way through college and graduated in 1975. That is approximately when all the downsizing and offshoring began. I've spent over forty years coping with plant shutdowns, oil busts, corporate bankruptcies, mass layoffs and long stints in the unemployment line. In the process, I've kept four children fed, clothed, housed, doctored, and so on. I'd get thrown out of a factory on my face, then go home and tell my family how tight things were going to be. I very much understand what problems the millenials face. So very many things seem out of their reach. Some of us Boomers lived luxuriously in the suburbs. But very many of us did not. In America, you truly might be the first generation to be less prosperous than the previous one through no fault of your own. I know this because my own children, hard workers that they are, still need some financial help.

Here's my take: For well over 95% of human *evolutionary* history, we have operated under a master/apprenticeship relationship. You went into a craft that you wanted, or especially needed, to go into, and you had direct contact with your direct superior at pretty much all times, as they doubled as your instructor, aimed at guiding you to match their own skill or even surpass them. And as they were the master of their craft, you absolutely respected them for their capabilities, and you felt yourself inspired directly to strive to be like them. They were passionate about making sure you were skilled in this craft, and you carried on that passion. And this is how human psychology has thrived for untold consecutive *millennia.* Modern corporations: Barely see our boss like once or twice a month, boss barely knows we exist unless *their* boss tells them they need to yell at someone. Yeah, I wonder where all the employee loyalty went. And this isn't even getting into how not-suited-for-human-psychology our schooling systems are.

[@monikabennett]

This is a brilliant observation. I think the second part of that, is that it's always been natural to outgrow being an apprentice after 10-30 years of experience. However, our system of big corporations doesn't allow for that outgrowth, nor are adults truly getting on the job training starting in their teens to make a 10 to 30-year apprenticeship meaningfully helpful.

Nobody talking about the Real reason corps are forcing "back to the office". Real estate. Rich managers and executives who own houses near the office don't want their homes to depreciate in value - if the peons could work from anywhere and moved away. This is the reason every company that put out surveys had a majority if not 95% of employees say they would prefer full time remote work. Yet the higher ups who make the decisions have a house that's the shortest commute from office buildings. Those 5% are making the decision to screw the rest of everyone else not because offices create a 'collaborative' environment. It's selfish evil greed. Force all other workers to risk a car accident every day, pollute the environment, clog traffic, and pay unaffordable rents because they're financially secure but can never have enough. Do those surveys again, but link responses with their address and if they own or rent a house. You'll see who the minority is that is making the call to "bring employees back" and why!

It makes no sense to leave your computer at home, go on an unpaid commute, only to go to another computer at the office. That's a paranoid manager who likes to "play boss" making you come into the office. When we were allowed to work remotely 10 years ago, productivity shot up 30% which means more profits for the company. They are either too stupid or unwilling to figure that out, no overhead, less stressed out employees having to shell out money for $3.00 a gallon gas and sitting in horrible traffic like we have in Houston. A 10 minute drive can easily take 20 min, 45 if there is a wreck. The employee is already stressed out by the time they get to work from sitting in a traffic jam and paying for gas they can't afford, when it is all completely unnecessary, just to get to work to sit at a computer you were already working on at home, just so some paranoid "manager" can watch over you all day to "make sure you're working."

Workers who kept their jobs, working from home or on furlough learned a number of lessons during the Pandemic lows: They learned about flexible working, working from their own space & during hours they choose...& they liked it. They learned just how much working in the office was costing them & how much money they saved by not commuting...& they liked it. They learned to reconnect with people in their smaller bubbles...& they liked it. They learned that they had little or nothing in common with most of their co-workers & they liked not having to connect with them while being nice to people they really don't care too much about. They learned to enjoy home time...& they liked it. They do not miss the "cube farm" they do not enjoy the boss hanging around them scrutinizing everything they do & say. Lastly they have found out that money has been drastically devalued by money printing over the last 18 months, by as much as 25%. If employers want their workers they have to figure out how to incorporate these things & they also need to pay more money for that work!

But honestly, parents seem to struggle to do a good job b/c they're in the rat race and when they're at home they spend down time w/ electronics, or wine/beer, or toking that smoke, and not parenting.
