sunrisenebula:raccooninthegirlslockerroom:caucasianscriptures:I wept working 25¢ over minimum wage at McDonaldsThis just in millionaires add crying to the list of things that they should get paid for?The first time I cried on the job was the second day of my first ever job. Retail, of course. Because where else is it acceptable to scream at a 19 year old until they’re weeping?I spent seven years in a job that I (rightly) cried myself to sleep about the night before my first day, and the only time I’ve ever made more than $40k/year was my outlier job at a web startup before the tech bubble burst in 2000-2001. (I escaped from crying-causing job with my life, and I’ll get to $40k/year in my current career sooner or later, but I’ll probably never get back to what the outlier job paid me unless something really big changes.) -- source link
