[QUOTE="wilberforce15, post: 2200165, member: 5053"] When did you start? This is from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, using the CPI (which understates inflation): [URL='http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=8.50&year1=1989&year2=2016']CPI Inflation Calculator[/URL] Turd, above, says he started at $8.50 in 1989. That is either dishonest or ignorant. He did not start at $8.50. According to the underestimate of inflation by the BLS, he started at $16.70 at the bare minimum, and each raise he got was worth far more. Let some part-timer come in here and say he deserves $16.70 to start, and all the guys (like Turd, and probably you) who actually did start at that rate will call him crazy, entitled, etc. But you do know for certain that it did not take a year. For most of the time, it was after 30 working days, and then gradually moved up to a few months. Now, it's a year. I have 7 years of seniority and a $1/hr skill bonus, and I'm just now getting to where Turd started with no skills and no seniority. How long did it take you to get to top rate while full-time? 2 years? At most? Double that, now. Silliness. We are not going FT faster than anyone did before. It's slower. Why would you believe that your building is representative of the entire country? It's like all you guys got together and said, "Hey, I've got an idea! Let's pay these kids half of what we got, and then make fun of them for quitting too much! Let's leave them without health insurance and then mock them for not working hard! Let's string them along at less than top-rate for twice as long, and then congratulate ourselves for having it so hard back-in-the-day! Pay your dues, you scab! Ha ha ha ha!" [/QUOTE]
