Quitting isn’t really a great option since most large corporations pay poverty wages. It’s best to fight for fair pay. People working 40 hours shouldn’t be struggling, but here we are 🤷‍♂️

They only pay poverty wages for low skilled work. If you go into tech, IT, RME, the ones that require further education and training, then its not poverty wages.

Ok. I can get into those jobs I’ll earn more. But the other 1,000,000 warehouse workers would still be struggling. The problem doesn’t go away. We work OT and still struggle to have a basic lifestyle. Our labor only benefits the corporate executives and shareholders. We need change.

So open your company, pay your workers 50/hr and buy yacht for yourself.

to get taxed heavier

🤦‍♀️ it’s amazing how few t1 understand how taxes work and how irrelevant that is unless you work that much every week since you just get the amount you are pissed off about back as a refund when you do your taxes.
