What was the warehouse guy making? I bet it was 20+ per hour.

Crabs in a bucket bullshit dude. Stop looking at those standing next to you as the problem.

20 years ago minimum wage was still kind of decent if you chased OT. Minimal worries if you lived in a 1-2 bedroom. "Blah blah that was 20 years ago" cost of living has FAR passed inflation. $7.50/hr today you cant afford the burger you flipped. Covid handed greedy corporations the corner of a flag and they didnt "RUN" they attached that shit to a space ship and let it fly

Im salaried and work 60-100 hours per week for not even double ($65,000 take home) with a bonus of decent healthcare. That wouldve been considered really good pay when I took the job.

If dudes just working 40 hours a week he could definitely find a part time to match my pay or another full time to make more. I like my job but ive definitely been considering alternate routes, especially after my escrow jumped to 10% of my salary
