It's absurd lol my job was complaining they can't find anyone to work, yet they're offering $16/hr for machinists that would need to drive an hour just to get here... It's a joke

[-] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 23 points 1 year ago

Damn I'm a Machinist with only mediocre experience and even I don't get out of bed for less than $28. That shit's skilled labor even if a bunch of yuppie MBA's don't think it takes any skill.

[-] Asafum@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I'm not even a machinist, I kinda wish I took that route. I came in as the lead assembler figuring I could prove my worth and "move up" into something better. Instead I became essential and am stuck lol

[-] pythonoob@programming.dev 8 points 1 year ago

Thing is, you're not essential. If you left the company would move on. Maybe you should look elsewhere.

[-] Sneptaur@pawb.social 10 points 1 year ago

Sounds like you need a new job

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hmm, do I take the $16/hr that's 1 hour away or the $17/hr that's 90 minutes away...

[-] Asafum@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Seriously... I just look at indeed and want to strangle someone... How are like 85% of all jobs on there posting salaries that are barely good enough for a random store cashier...

[-] Sneptaur@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago

Now you know why that’s all they’re offering

Someone I know that's retired now (must be nice) said their government pension went up 6% last year because it follows inflation / cost of living. Ain't nobody getting 6% salary raises in this economy, most are lucky if they get any raise at all, which really counts as a pay cut if food and rent keep going up

You get paid for the hour of traffic tho, right?

[-] Asafum@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Nope lol it's just how far you'd have to be to be able to afford to even live here. Long island is stupid expensive. I need to move, but I'm "uneducated" so I'm pretty much worthless lol

[-] Nerorero@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

That's fucked up

[-] TheSaneWriter@lemm.ee 32 points 1 year ago

Mmm, I'm sure a pizza party will make up for them not being able to pay rent

[-] lvxferre@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 year ago

What's in the box?

A cat, of course. Why else would boxes exist, if not for cats?

[-] Eavolution@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

Or maybe not. It's unknowable, and absurd.

Hey! My cats may be unknowable but they're not..on second thought, good point 😄

Erwin Schrödinger wants to know your location.

[-] Stan@lemmywinks.com 4 points 1 year ago

He can know my location, or he can know my speed, but he can’t know both.

[-] lvxferre@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

His cat should step up on the game. 50% alive, 50% dead? That's for noobs. Pros can be in more than one place at the moment: inside the box, and on ~~her human's bed~~ her human-sized bed, and on the desk (dropping stuff on the floor) and 30% circling human legs so they trip.

[-] dragnucs@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Does not work very well. Raising pat only works for about 6 to 8 months. Then you need another raise. So to stay truly happy and productive, more elements need to be introduced to the equation.

[-] Motavader@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

This is true. No realistic pay raise can compensate for a toxic work environment. At some point, most people will value their mental health over high pay.

[-] valkyre09@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

In my last place of work we called it the “golden handcuffs” Money was great, work was terrible. In the end I took a pay cut to get out, best decision I ever made - back on the same salary and much happier within 8 months
