    It’s absurd lol my job was complaining they can’t find anyone to work, yet they’re offering $16/hr for machinists that would need to drive an hour just to get here… It’s a joke

      Damn I’m a Machinist with only mediocre experience and even I don’t get out of bed for less than $28. That shit’s skilled labor even if a bunch of yuppie MBA’s don’t think it takes any skill.

        I’m not even a machinist, I kinda wish I took that route. I came in as the lead assembler figuring I could prove my worth and “move up” into something better. Instead I became essential and am stuck lol

    What’s in the box?

    A cat, of course. Why else would boxes exist, if not for cats?

    Does not work very well. Raising pat only works for about 6 to 8 months. Then you need another raise. So to stay truly happy and productive, more elements need to be introduced to the equation.

      This is true. No realistic pay raise can compensate for a toxic work environment. At some point, most people will value their mental health over high pay.

        In my last place of work we called it the “golden handcuffs” Money was great, work was terrible. In the end I took a pay cut to get out, best decision I ever made - back on the same salary and much happier within 8 months

    Game show question: Is this the right talking about how to get better teachers, or the left talking about how to get better police?
