NaBarney Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Eight dollars for every sixty minutes of work. Does that sound fair to you?
Hornshire Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Potentially. It depends largely on the type of work you do, how much relevant experience you have in that particular field, and the typical cost of living for your area. But given no other context, the number in and of itself is not egregious.
StarPanda Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 That's like below minimum wage isn't minimum like 10 Anyways a jobs a job dude and if you are strapped for money take anything you can
fuggnificent Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 That's like below minimum wage isn't minimum like 10 Anyways a jobs a job dude and if you are strapped for money take anything you can Depends on where you live. They cant pay less than minimum wage. Thats illegal.
DBZ4ever Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 That's like below minimum wage isn't minimum like 10 Anyways a jobs a job dude and if you are strapped for money take anything you can No, federal minimum wage is 7.25. His pay is above by almost a dollar. Took me 4 years to get there at my crappy retail job. That's my college degree working for you, only the best pay.

DBZ4ever Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 It actually did used to do so only on warranties on computers and such. They technically still do but only if you are in the top 1% of the company.
Naraku4656 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 It actually did used to do so only on warranties on computers and such. They technically still do but only if you are in the top 1% of the company. do you still sell paper and paper accessories?
fuggnificent Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 It actually did used to do so only on warranties on computers and such. They technically still do but only if you are in the top 1% of the company. Sad. I worked retail but my commission was always $1000 up to $3000 a month and i was considered an underperformer.
1938_Packard Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 That's like below minimum wage isn't minimum like 10 Anyways a jobs a job dude and if you are strapped for money take anything you can No, if the minimum were raised to ten, a gallon of milk would end up costing seven. That's capitalism. Currently, I pass through offices and see cubicles loaded with people who have masters degrees or better. Their jobs are often advertised on the company bulletin boards at $9.50 an hour.
Codename: Jackass Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 I get paid $7.50 an hour, $8.00 if I'm working 3rd shift which is on-again off-again, not even true full time, like 38 hours a week. I might kill myself but probably not.
molarbear Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 No, federal minimum wage is 7.25. His pay is above by almost a dollar. Took me 4 years to get there at my crappy retail job. That's my college degree working for you, only the best pay. I made $5.15 a hour before it went up 8-9 years ago. That's when I had a roommate that would always claim he was broke (he didn't work, his parents just funded him) and showed me his bank statement once.... he had fucking $4,500 in his account. I had to inform him that if he had a "," in his bank account he was indeed, not broke.

Just fucking shut the fuck up, Packtard.
Distortedreasoning Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 sounds like some bullshit. they really need to raise the minimum level to at least double of what it is now.
1938_Packard Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Just fucking shut the fuck up, Packtard. Come on, then... try applying for a job in this casino if you don't believe it. It's an employers' market around here. So few available jobs that just getting ANY job at all is worth your time, even when it barely pays enough to cover your transportation costs.
Misaka Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 I make $9.90 an hour and additional $2.50 on the weekends/holidays And state wage is like 890 So I'm happy
ThisIdiot Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 I make 9.50 an hour ...but I've had this job for 3 years now and started around 7.25 ...
bnmjy Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Damn, you guys. My old job was shit, but I was still pulling in 10.90 an hour.

If this is true, Atlantic City should be burned down just to give people an incentive to leave the shithole.
StarPanda Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 To be clear California minimum is about 10.00 an hour, so I was going based of that, of course the cost of living here is also more expensive. And no a gallon of milk doesn't cost 7 dollars here it's like about to 3.50or or 2.70 in some stores
Mini_ghost420 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 I can't accurately say it's fair or not without knowing what the job is. I mean an hour of flipping burgers isn't the same thing as an hour of building a cruise ship. and also it's better than zero dollars an hour
1938_Packard Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 If this is true, Atlantic City should be burned down just to give people an incentive to leave the shithole. Unionized jobs here tend to pay better. Cubicle Dilberts can't strike or file grievances.

When the wage is ten an hour, you have to have at least ten an hour entering the cash register. Add ten more for each additional employee who is active on that shift.
fuggnificent Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Damn I make more than most of you and still poor.... I try not to consider myself poor because my bills r paid but my cell phone car and car insurance is killing me.
1938_Packard Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 I try not to consider myself poor because my bills r paid but my cell phone car and car insurance is killing me. I thwarted the car insurance problem by not owning a car. I didn't die.
CutieQuesadilla Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 I try not to consider myself poor because my bills r paid but my cell phone car and car insurance is killing me. does your mom work?
Naraku4656 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Damn, you guys. My old job was shit, but I was still pulling in 10.90 an hour. i mean to be fair i never earned commission in retail. i think the most i ever made in retail was $9.00 but that was a job i only held for like a month. my other retail jobs was around 7.25-8.00. i mean i guess i TECHNICALLY did when i worked for Macys and they gave us like $50 for every 100 people signed up for a credit card in a month but i never hit that and i don't think anyone else really did. even in college i only made like $8.50 an hour working for IT. i finally had a job in the double digits only after i graduated.

How the fuck would working in your shithole casino prove to me anything about the price of milk, you incredulous retard?

Or it could just be that you have some very well diversified stupid.
Naraku4656 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 How the fuck would working in your shithole casino prove to me anything about the price of milk, you incredulous retard? u silly. don't you know that five red poker chips = 1 gallon of milk? if you have 10 blue poker chips u can trade that for a gallon of milk and a shoe shine from the local newsie. why back in his day people drove their carriages all around the thoroughfare to get a real shoe shine
naraku360 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Damn I make more than most of you and still poor.... *shrug* I'm working 2 jobs, one at $12/hr and the other at $13/hr. It's not incredible, but comfortable for the time being. Kinda on the poor side, but still doing okay.
Naraku4656 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 *shrug* I'm working 2 jobs, one at $12/hr and the other at $13/hr. It's not incredible, but comfortable for the time being. Kinda on the poor side, but still doing okay. how many hours on both, because if you have two full time jobs with that, that's 25/hr and that's REALLY good
CAC Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 I try not to consider myself poor because my bills r paid but my cell phone car and car insurance is killing me. I do. If I didn't have my state and federal student loan payments, I'd be doing just above poor, but I really have no extra money after bills.
naraku360 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 how many hours on both, because if you have two full time jobs with that, that's 25/hr and that's REALLY good Only, like, 12 on the 12/hr. Around 24-30 for the 13/hr. Nowhere near enough time to work 2 full time jobs. And it'd only be 25/hr if working both simultaneously.

And it'd only be 25/hr if working both simultaneously. that's still really not bad. if my company let me, i'd probably have a side job making a couple extra bucks myself. stupid sexy legal agreements
MasqueradeOverture Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 If you've ever been hired at places that give you more than $12 an hour, I wouldn't settle for anything less after that honestly.
naraku360 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Yeah, it's alright. I'd like to be making 15/hr, but 12-13 with decent hours is pretty alright. And my living arrangements are pretty cheap.
Naraku4656 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Yeah, it's alright. I'd like to be making 15/hr, but 12-13 with decent hours is pretty alright. And my living arrangements are pretty cheap. mine aren't :::
Naraku4656 Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 If you've ever been hired at places that give you more than $12 an hour, I wouldn't settle for anything less after that honestly. my biggest jump was from my college job to my first job out of college. after that i didn't have jumps that were as much
quebecelegy Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 im not sure where some of you live, but if you can't find a job that pays decently no matter how hard you look, that's pretty shitty man there's a ton of laborer type jobs around here if i was ever desperate enough for cash. they pay like $14 starting.
NaBarney Posted March 25, 2017 Author Posted March 25, 2017 im not sure where some of you live, but if you can't find a job that pays decently no matter how hard you look, that's pretty shitty man there's a ton of laborer type jobs around here if i was ever desperate enough for cash. they pay like $14 starting. How do you know, where do you see those jobs advertised
quebecelegy Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 craigslist, facebook groups my uncle used to spam me with messages when facebook groups would be looking for people to work in landscaping/construction/remodeling houses you could probably find a construction/landscaping business and get a job there. ups and fedex are always hiring, but only part time.
