I love this point. I work at one of the biggest biotech companies in the world in the manufacturing space. Our staff are essential and were onsite throughout the whole pandemic. A lot of us can barely afford to live in driving distance of work. This company is literally paying us as little as possible to keep us alive meanwhile Mr CEO is taking in millions every year. The minimum wage should allow us to live reasonably in the area we live and work.
Every time I see the CEO in the cafeteria, I wish someone would just punch him and knock all his teeth out. Try enjoying your second vacation home with no teeth, capitalist pig!!!

When interviewing, and when we talk wage, I mention the cost of me working from home vs working in the office: the differential in rent close to the office, pro-rated over the week. And a little on top. More if the train doesn’t go there and I need to buy and use a car.
I understand that a portion of their wage is for my talent and another portion is for being able to see my fat ass in a chair and feel better about yourself. You pay for that, you creep, and it’s separate.

I think it needs to scale with rent. Yeeeah.
