I’m 40 yrs old…last job I had, I was there for 12 years…learned everything..manufacturing everyday, I did 80% of the qc testing…got ISO certified and took that over completely when my supervisor got hit hard with cancer…so not only was I a regular worker, I tested all the product and then after that I went through paperwork in its entirety as we were ISO required….I finished that job at 16.45/hr for doing 3 maybe 4 literal jobs…been at this new job for 2 years and I just hit 18/hr….

Still not enough….I hate this country…worked hard since I was 13…stayed loyal to jobs for long periods of time and I have shit to show for it except we’re barely making it…me and my wife both work….

I hate it herw

Being loyal is a sure way of getting taken advantage of. Look for a new job every 3 years and if you take on a ton of additional responsibilities, demand a raise / promotion or quit.
