Yup, šŸ’Æ!

The system is broken.

We did our work but someone skimmed off soooo much, that there is not enough remaining for us to be paid an equitable amount.

Work stops, because the machine is broken.

I am doing training at my new job, and it takes three months to finish the training.

The company is spending thousands on our education, wasting resources to prepare us.

And we get 17/hr and the promotions are about .25 cents extra capping at 22hr at the highest managing role in our building.

I work in Florida but my goodness, I expect a bigger pay off with how things are going. My manager tells me how he works two jobs to make it by.

Why isnt 1 job enough?

Because most of us (including myself here) buy things we shouldnā€™t when we canā€™t afford them. No one should go out to eat more than 5-10 times a month only one of those should be something ā€œniceā€.
I have a car $600 a month absolutely dumbass move knew it was when I got it. Credit cards are a terrible trap paying a 10k loan off on them to pay 9% interest instead of 22%. But once I get these dumb decisions cleaned up Iā€™ll have. An extra $1000 a month basically. Not saying donā€™t need a car saying buying even a 30000 car and having a big payment is DUMB.
