[QUOTE="Rawrzxor, post: 1304559, member: 51342"] The entire issue with this is that workers don't think they're being paid enough for the work they do. It's not about it being fun or not, it's about being rightly compensated. The starting pay has stayed at 8.50 for 20 some odd years. That may have been awesome back in the good 'ol days, but it's not anymore. It would have to be bumped up to 13.5 dollars an hour in order to compensate for inflation. While the raises are very nice, and the benefits are some of the best around in accessibility (which is sad), the pay isn't exactly good enough for the work, at this point, for me. So, we bitch. If I was making 13.50 (the equivalent of what 8.50 was 20 years ago), with the promise of raises every year, I wouldn't care. That would be fantastic. I already appreciate being able to work for a company that will eventually earn me a living wage, but until then, gosh darn it :censored:ing :censored: :censored: :censored:. In addition, it's still depressing that this *is* one of the better jobs around. The recession, huge inflation, huge wealth inequality, lack of opportunities. The Anti-American dream. We have a right to bitch about the previous generation :censored:ing everything up. [/QUOTE]
