lol getting pulled into the office for an informal sit-down because we just finished our round of paltry and frankly offensive raises, and i’ve been calling them poverty wages/disrespect wages, because that’s what they are. yes, miss manager, my vibe is a little rancid right now, but i have to spend all my break listening to my coworker who’s going through a divorce cry in secret because she can’t afford to live alone despite working a full 40 hours a week, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“you’re riling everybody up and making a lot of negativity with your comments”

why? because i told the lady who’s been there thirty-four years (to my six and a half), since the day the store opened, and who i can fully and freely admit works harder than i do, that i make $4 more than her? yeah she SHOULD be riled up

Talking about wages is a right we should exercise every day.
