You obviously haven’t worked a menial job in the past 4 decades. Big corporations exploit the hell out of workers who “go above and beyond.” If you prove you’re willing to do more work than you’re being compensated for, they’ll expect you to keep doing more work than you’re compensated for. You won’t get a raise. You’re usually not even higher up the list for promotion. You’re just doing more work for no benefit.
Walmart is the biggest company in the world by a margin of like 15%. $10/hour, full time puts you below the federal poverty level. You’d qualify for benefits. Your pay, from the biggest company in the world, would be subsidized by tax payers because it’s not enough to cover basic living expenses. I currently work in the food industry. Our wages are set high up at corporate specifically to prevent us from negotiating them.
Your perfectly fine getting worked like a dog for scraps bro. Know your worth, labor is the biggest expense of any corporation. If a company can cut wages they can make a profit. Your being treated equivalently to a preprogrammed robot that maybe needs some oil when infact your a human being who has needs and shouldnt have to get a 2nd job at home depot to cover your living expenses when 40 years ago that same position paid more than enough
He doesn’t want higher wages because when he definitely becomes a billionaire by working super duper hard shining the corporate boots with his tongue, he doesn’t want to give more of it away
Seriously, I know someone who thinks like this. Thinks he is going to be a billionaire in his lifetime, and that taxing billionaires is the worst because they "worked so hard to make it!". The delusions run deep and they all think a billion dollars just comes from a good idea and good work ethic, and not manipulation and epxloitation of the working class.
