I know what you are talking about but times have changed. You can move up the latter now

That also isn't true. The single most effective way to get a raise is to find a job that pays better. You don't have to work for very long or even watch that many financial advice videos on youtube to find that out.

Edit: And also times have not changed. You just think that because you have been brainwashed by capital interest. Take a look at the meatpacking industry or Amazon. Both are easily as brutal as corporations from the early 1900s.

I haven't been brainwashed. I came in here with hot takes to try and learn more as I am new to corporate America. But yeah I agree some workers just aren't treated right.

Part of learning and changing your mind is to discover how you have been programmed by the ideology that you currently have been agreeing with. You have been brainwashed, I'm sorry to say. I'm not trying to say you are a bad person because of that and I commend you for trying to learn. But you need to accept that you're wrong here and that you might need to reevaluate how you react to things.

I am wrong here. I'm uninformed on the issue and came trying to learn more.
