They’ve been like that since day one

 

I can assure you the wages at the stores were not the same back then.

 

I don’t doubt that but damn that gif is annoying

 

All this time this thread has been the people that didn't know Victor is a certified forklift operator

 

Dude I made 10 dollars an hour in my early twenties doing maintenance and I’m like hell yeah this is sick I got money, looking back I’m like damn how did I survive lol

 

I was 18 and got let go after a year but I drove a huge lift and a dozer a few years later working for a gas company. I’ve got blue collar cred

 

High-earners are having a harder time finding remote and hybrid work
this sucks. I’m guessing remote work is going to continue to be phased out. All potentially good lessons from the pandemic are getting lost.

 

I wanna be a hotdogger.

 

You be nice to Aaron from Red Fang

 

I’ll take pay in the federal mileage rate and minimum wage plus overtime please over that salary

 

I don’t agree to say it’s going to be phased out. It’ll never be at the levels it was during the pandemic (nor should it be), but I think generally the appeal to hybrid work will allow it to stay in fields where it’s feasible. A company hiring for a position offering a hybrid remote policy should be easier to fill than a company hiring for the same position but only fully in office and it’s gonna force that company to keep some sort of hybrid offering to stay competitive. The article even mentions that despite the decrease in six-figure jobs being remote, overall hybrid/remote jobs held mostly steady throughout the year and the decrease might have more to do with the state of the economy rather than companies moving away from remote work.

I could totally be wrong but that’s just how I see it. My job has gone full-time hybrid and the union is currently negotiating on expanding the hybrid remote work program we have because they know that it’s important for hiring prospects and retaining employees

 

Man, I rewatched the other night, such a weird movie

 

Yeah. Like my career remains largely remote or hybrid friendly in most cases. It means I’m fucked finding a job. But they’re not going away.

 

I got my first job when I was 15 in 2000 as a dishwasher for a ma and pop Italian restaurant and made like, $5.25 an hour.

I remember working pretty long shifts and never getting a break. I would be so hungry, I’d eat any food that was left over in the cook’s pan or even eat food off plates returned to the kitchen.

Didn’t stay there long…

 

Just bring a sandwich to work lmao

 

He was 15 aka dumb as hell

 

I have stolen from every job I’ve ever had.

 

had a very similar experience my first job at a tapas ish restaurant. only took a couple shifts before they started waking me and calling asking me to come in a couple hours earlier then scheduled after working till 1 the night before. always have worked labor jobs but that just wasnt it. restaurant industry is so exploitive and unfortunately mom and pop shops are often especially bad
