August 1 Raise.

[Jkloc420]

I don’t know what you mean by broke, do you mean deep in debt? Try to pay your debts down if you are.

Biden voter you r bye

 

[G.V. Rush]

A little debt nothing too crazy. Just living a simple basic life with grand visions of a stress free 55+ year old life. I.e. No boat purchases in my near future

 

[PT Car Washer]

Does being broke now but saving for an awesome back 9 of life a good path? Not being sarcastic. Serious question

Pretty normal to be young and poor. You just don't want to be old and poor.

Ive been doing uber and door dash while out on my route, just trying to get ahead of this rediculous inflation.

 

[specter208]

[MECH-lift]

DIE YOUNG

@MECH-lift style!

Do u get the raise if still in progression?

No. After progression

 

[Analbumcover]

I'm not worried. Joe Biden and Janet Yellen have it under control.

 

[Yeet]

What raise? The one that doesn’t even keep up with inflation? That one?

$39.90/hr for an unskilled PT job? Where do I sign up? Plus a $75/wk bonus.

When Panera is starting at $20 an hour? When the cost of living has shot up over 100%? GTFOH you bitter bastard. You chose your life to be a PT nobody. I don’t want your life.

We have brothers and sisters out here literally dying for $15 and hour.

Wow. Not bitter at all. I am just as happy as a cold hog in warm mud.

I believe that the .82 increases were formulated at the end of May, the inflation rate was listed as 8.5% currently It has to be close to 10 % or over.

Yeah the gov't figures cook the books, as usual. I'd guess it's easily 15%.

Bull

Yep got to keep reminding these people because we’re going to get to August 1, 2023 and they’re going to be screaming for a better contract and then realize we’re going on strike and they don’t have even one penny saved. They will be the ones that sink our battleship. Educating younger members who have never been through a strike is very important. Strikes hurt both sides. But the company can wait longer if they really want to.

Honestly at this point I'll surprised if we don't go on strike. I could be wrong, of course, but O'Brien seems determined to challenge this company (I'm 100 percent behind that too) and we know how arrogant this company tends to be ...

At the same time I'd be surprised if many people would cross the picket. That said ... those of us who know better, and have the ability, should also prepare to help brothers and sisters who may need assistance. Because that will happen if we strike.

Blame the parents for babying their kids and not letting them grow up and teaching them to be responsible

Nah I don't think it's that as much as it's just the air we breathe. Companies wouldn't waste all that money bombarding us with ads if they didn't work.

"Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes ..."

I don’t disagree materialism is a waste of time

And yet we see the evidence all around us, and honestly, in our own lives too, of how the companies "lead us into temptation." No one is impervious. For example, I enjoy watching football. I guarantee you I wouldn't have spent much time dreaming of buying a pickup truck if I hadn't taken my dose of the commercials. (I have resisted the temptation, and yet, it is there LOL)

Nothing wrong with having a few nice things but if it’s you live for chasing stuff your life becomes empty and you become a slave to your work and your debt. Not pleasant in my opinion

Totally agreed. But that's obviously "the diet" this system wants us on. And good people fall for it all the time.

You'll own nothing, have no privacy, and be happy
