i just feel like if a job pays less than $15/hr… they shouldn’t ask for experience.
like if im going to get a minimum wage job, im going to do the bare minimum.
i just don’t understand how we’re “all an important part of the company” and the pay gap is so big
Also if I’m being paid minimum wage, don’t expect me to be passionate about whatever it is you want me to do.
minimum wage = minimum effort
And minimum commitment. Give me a reason to be loyal. Ducking pay me
Peak capitalism expects maximum effort and maximum commitment for minimum pay and minimum loyalty.
When the employer’s attitude is ‘you’re replaceable’ then the employee attitude is ‘this is just a temporary job’
I’m always seeing articles in HR industry publications and stuff that bemoan the “erosion of employee loyalty” and how employees are so willing to jump ship if someone offers them a few more bucks and like…yeah…because y'all made it super clear that we’re all replaceable cogs in the corporate machine, if you’ve got no loyalty toward your employees, what kind of brass balls do y'all have that you expect them to still be loyal to you anyway? This is a two way street, fuckers.

“Art and culture are themselves time-traveling, planes of existence where the past, present, and future shift seamlessly in and out. And for those of us from communities with historic collective trauma, we must understand that each of us is already science fiction walking around on two legs. Our ancestors dreamed us up and then bent reality to create us.”— Walidah Imarisha, Octavia’s Brood (via shadeismyresistance)
