also the term living wage is unfairly ambiguous, my girlfriend lives in Mass with 1 roommate and her total cost of living is around 1800$ per month which to her minimum wage is a living wage
Shes extremely frugal cooks all her meals and has a tight budget to do this
Please don’t get the two of us confused- I don’t endorse sabotage or putting anybody in harms way. That’s insane and I’d never suggest it. If I was unhappy enough, I would have quit the job. Instead, I self advocated and was able to negotiate a mutually appreciable agreement with my employer. It kind of bothers me when people shut down conversations about things that are unsatisfactory- just because I wanted to vent to other professionals in the industry, does not mean that I want to cause any harm to the company or any of my coworkers. It also doesn’t mean I’m not grateful to be where I am; it’s a cool job. But…“cool” doesn’t pay the bills…work is work.
And yeah, you’re right: we are all here because of somebody else’s sacrifice. Certainly not lost on me.
I’m just ensuring an ethical ground is established. That’s all.
Best advice I ever heard from a tattoo artist regarding business.
“I don’t care if your idea is stupid, I don’t care if you try to under pay me, if you put cash in hand, and I agree, I will do the best stupid frustrating idea you have.”
Rent here is 500 per person, 2 bedrooms 1000 and 3 bedrooms 14-1500
Groceries are 75-100 a week
edit: health insurance is for sure a scam I cant argue that one lol
My health insurace for Tufts Gold was 465 a month, on silver it is around 400. I haven’t really looked into the cheapest option. 465 is absolutely insane as I still have a 50$ copay for any visit. No dental and 1 vision test per year (100$ savings)
Rent here in outskirts of Seattle, WA is 1500+ for a 1 bed, studios are $100 cheaper, and of course there are cheaper rental options at 1300 (1 bed) if you make under 60k/yr!! County minimum wage is $15/hr, gas is $5.20/gal, a lil bag of generic tortellini is $13. You guys do the math.
(I’m just complaining, I know it’s hard for everyone.)
PS. I CANNOT do roommates, don’t suggest it. Not looking for suggestions or advice xD
You seem to have issues with reading or living in reality
My Simple question:
Your Shitty ass response:
Basic Retort: no name calling just observation:
Giving excuses for having shit attitude:
Deflecting trying to blame other:
All Just my observation, but then again I’m just a guy who turned this into a business that will positively impact my family for generations , happy you got your pay raise
Fine Fettle is cool, it’s run by the younger members of a big family. I don’t know any of their employees, but they’re focused on being a well-run company and are practical in their way of thinking about the industry (in my opinion). Not to mention they just won 1 of 6 Georgia licenses.
@TheWillBilly@broccoli I’m pretty sure you guys just misinterpreted your first comments to each other lol, no need to have another stupid 2000 post argument thread
