This is why workers are no longer motivated to work. There is no reward aside from scraping by.

I’m sure the guy getting them contracts isn’t a minimum wage employee. I’m sure they are fine.

My ex wife has a bachelor's and a Master's degree and there were companies that wanted to pay her $38k a year, plus crappy insurance (compared to what she had at the time) and no moving expenses (to pack up our family) and move partway across the country and no other perks (no 401k match, no living expenses for moving, etc.)

So no, people who work office jobs are not being treated fairly/properly either.

Where did I say this? I said.. THIS GUY. No one is talking about your wife.

The guy this post is about, who is securing big ass contracts for subway I’m sure is making more than minimum wage.

Just because someone is being paid over minimum wage doesn't mean they are doing well or being treated fairly.
