They work a job that requires no skills, and anyone with a pulse can do, and they think they deserve high wages. No, you should not be making $20/ hour working at Wendy’s. I know a 19 year old girl who works in housekeeping, she makes $16.50 and she thinks she’s underpaid. lol, it’s not like she’s been doing the shit for 20+ years. Gimme a break
If you work full-time you should be able to afford to live in the area you work. That's why it's called a "living wage." That's the bare minimum they should be paid, and that will vary depending on the cost of living near the location.
If it's a place you need to make 20 dollars an hour to afford to live there, and there's a Wendy's in that city, the people who work at that Wendy's also need to be able to afford to live there.
This isn't even taking into account people who have kids—especially single parents. Since child labor is and should remain illegal, parents need to be paid (at minimum) enough so that they can afford to live with their children in the area they work.
I'm in an area where a living wage for a two-parent one-child household is just over 18 dollars (that's each parent making 18 an hour, full-time). I make more than 18, but my wife makes minimum wage (just over 12), so even though I theoretically should be making more than enough to live here since I have a "high-skill" job, we can actually barely afford it because minimum wage is so far below the living wage that all my "extra" goes to making up the difference.
We tolerate job creators because they provide the means for their employees to live. If they are not doing that - if our tax dollars have to go towards supplementing the difference between what they are paid and what they need - then we may as well just do it all with taxes and so don't need the business.
The simple fact is the difference between what a business earns and what a business pays its employees needs justification. If it is entirely for expanding and improving the business, fine, but I any of it is just because the owner wants to have more money, thats wage theft. And any discussion about what wages are fair that doesn't include a plan for stopping wage theft is really just a plan to protect wage theft.
Because they refuse to take responsibility on their spending habit. Eating outside daily, buy unnecesarry things, go on vacation knowing their budget is tight enough etc… The easiest way is to blame your boss. If you are truly not happy with the pay, leave and find a better job. They won’t, because they know it is not their wage issue, it is them.
I hate housekeeping work myself so I’d pay a housekeeper extremely well to come do my place. I’d make damn sure they have a livable wage because I respect them that much. My mom and aunt used to make good money cleaning rich communities. That’s where the money is. Hotels won’t pay shit and that’s why there’s bedbugs.

Because people simply focus on what will improve their lives. Truth be told the US inflation rate over the last few years under the Biden Administration has been substantial and people needed a boost so in some regard I accept that it was necessary.
Yet, unskilled labor is unskilled labor and doesn’t rate a salary commensurate with a skilled, certified, or qualified trade. It’s an insult to those who worked hard to learn a skill to be paid the same as a high-school kid jiggling a basket of French fries in a burger joint.
Mostly because they are. Housekeeping in particular, is a job most people don’t want to do. Doesn’t have to require a great deal of education and skill. You’re providing a service so that other people don’t have to do shitty work. More often than not for someone who is still making four to five times more anyway.
Are you equally frustrated with the unproductive twats heading up corporations and making hundreds of millions of dollars for doing literally nothing? Sometimes for running a company straight into the ground? Or do you believe those fatcat pricks when they tell you it’s the working poor who is oppressing you? Ell oh ell!
Here in the UK there are two main reasons why this happens, one is to bring down the Conservative government and the other is to get handouts from the government. It is mostly by the younger generations who want to be able to waste money on all the made up festival crap that comes from the USA.
And so they can avoid paying their bills. They are going on strike for not getting a pay rise for the most basic of jobs. All they are doing is talking themselves out of a job and be replaced by robots.
Because corporate profits are through the roof along with cost of living and people can’t make ends meet.
You’re not totally wrong, but minimum wage here isn’t even close to survival money, you have to be well into 6 figures to even consider living without roommates. I don’t know what the solution is but the way things are now just isn’t working
She is underpaid. Anything that is less than a livable wage is underpaid. A person should be able to work and survive on 1 job. Now that does not mean living outside their means or an extravagant lifestyle.
You need to be broken in half, it seems.
Wages should match the work, tax and expenses. Working under that is basically slavery.
EVERYONE deserves a wage that provides the basics of food, clothing, shelter, savings and some discretionary spending. If a minimum wage can't provide it then a UBI should supplement it. (Universal Basic Income)
They work a fulltime job and don't have enough money to live. This means they are underpaid.
Try actually being a fast food worker or a housekeeper, and then post on GaG again and tell us what you think YOU should have been paid. Until then, stop opining about the value of work you have never done and know nothing about please.
The reality is not a single person is underpaid.
The other reality is, is that a minimum wage protects weak-minded people. This should be abolished
Why are there so many companies who think they are are over paying their employees?
that’s the real question.
Is there anybody who does not think that they are underpaid?
Anyone could do any job really. It's the experience and skill that really matter.
Because they're overtaxed.
Like Odell Beckham Jr.
It is called A WOKE EDUCATION!
They are you can afford to live off that
Everyone overvalues themselves.
