Wayfair to pay $15 an hour minimum

[Wyatt earp]

This is great. Goes to show that it can be done.

This is how it should be done. Not by government force.

Right but a lot of companies don’t give cost of living increases when they should. Decades could go by they won’t give raises except to the ceos

I wouldnt work for a place like that

Oh so you think it’s easy to find another company that pays better and will hire you? I don’t think most people in America have that luxury. I bet if most people lost their job tomorrow, they’d be unemployed for at least a couple few months and they’ll probably end up at another company making just about the same or less.

If only it were that easy to just go find another job that pays more. If it were that easy itd be great. Then I would agree with you.

I make almost $100k. It’s very possible if I lost my job I would not find another company that would pay me as well. I’d probably have to go prove I’m worth it and a lot of times companies don’t give you a raise even when you are worth it. I’ve seen my company let people go rather Than give a raise. I think most companies and employees know it’s the corporations who are in the drivers seat here.

It might be hard for you, but you cant speak for all of America.

One person can land the better job. Millions of others that need to work can not.

It would be nice to be able to tell my company if they don’t give me a raise I will go somewhere else and then be able to easily go somewhere else that pays more. If it were that easy we wouldn’t have such a struggling middle class.

This is why America was great when 35% of our workforce was unionized. If a non union company didn’t pay well people could go work for a union company.

And when unions collectively bargained and got raises, non union companies had to give raises for fear their good employees would leave or organize.

Now that unions barely exist, employers don’t have to give raises. Instead we have seen ceo pay skyrocket.

I had a good paying job. Where I worked it was a mix of company employee's and contractors. The contractors were paid less than half what I was.

People took these jobs because they were a stepping stone to getting hired with the company. I should note, they used to be company jobs in the past also.

The company like so many others cut, cut, cut. They didn't hire for years and then decided they would hire people after taking college classes. Contractors were out of luck even though many had worked there for years.

The company (despite making billions and being a huge multinational company was going to cut my pay also) no way I could have got a better job. I was lucky and said "screw it" and retired at 58.

This is great. Goes to show that it can be done.

This is how it should be done. Not by government force.

It might be hard for you, but you cant speak for all of America.

Can I speak for most Americans? Because fo most us workers, wages have barely budged in decades.

When I took this job I said the minimum I would accept to start was $40,000. But I would want a raise if I was successful. I killed it the first two years and each year I only got a $5000 raise. I told the new president I was insulted by the raises I got and he gave me what I was worth. Alost $50,000 raise. This is unheard of. The only reason he gave me the raise is I could show him I was making our company $500,000 a year.

Everyone else at my company who has complained they weren’t making enough, the company let go. One woman in my opinion was just as important as I was but rather than pay her $80,000 they hired two girls for $40,000 each. She went into real estate. And if the two girls can easily go find a better paying job, why don’t they?

People hate unions

One person can land the better job. Millions of others that need to work can not.

Dude, if you cant find a job that pays over 15 bucks an hour, you are either a complete loser or a teenager.

One person can. Millions can not.

Only one person can find a job making 15 bucks or above? What?

You understand.

No i dont. Please elaborate

Yes you do. No one is taking the $10 an hour job because there are so many out there paying $15.

This is why the federal minimum wage is irrelevant.

In part but I'm still going to support raising it to $15 for the reasons I've noted.

Other companies have done it also.

So? Math not strong with you, and a question it appears the left now hates tariffs because they say they have to pay for it, why do you want to pay more for the same thing?

I've explained why.

It's just forced charity

You are making fun of trumps base. Blue collar workers. The average salary for them is $31,000 a year. That’s $15 hr

ok

 

[TNHarley]

If after 10 years they are making $11.50 they still are not being treated right.

I agree. What kind of person with self respect would continue giving their life to a group of assholes like that?

The one with no other option.

There are always options.

Blah, blah, blah. Not for millions of people.

Good luck proving that

Now that unions barely exist, employers don’t have to give raises. Instead we have seen ceo pay skyrocket.

I had a good paying job. Where I worked it was a mix of company employee's and contractors. The contractors were paid less than half what I was.

People took these jobs because they were a stepping stone to getting hired with the company. I should note, they used to be company jobs in the past also.

The company like so many others cut, cut, cut. They didn't hire for years and then decided they would hire people after taking college classes. Contractors were out of luck even though many had worked there for years.

The company (despite making billions and being a huge multinational company was going to cut my pay also) no way I could have got a better job. I was lucky and said "screw it" and retired at 58.

This is great. Goes to show that it can be done.

One company?

Other companies have done it also.

So? Math not strong with you, and a question it appears the left now hates tariffs because they say they have to pay for it, why do you want to pay more for the same thing?

I've explained why.

It's just forced charity

What is the billions the markets get?

You don't understand do you? Last I read 80% plus of the companies are small mom and pops

If you wish to avoid my question so be it but understand that I will ignore you then.

What does the markets have to do with this? Surley you don't think raising minimum wage will stick it to them?

Wayfair to Pay All U.S. Employees a Minimum of $15 Per Hour

More than 40% of hourly employees to receive pay increase effective immediately Wayfair Inc.

The Biden effect in action.

Many companies pay $15 an hour and long before Biden was elected, in fact Amazon started theirs in 2018 and Walmart started September 2020, must of been the Trump effect? You are an idiot.

The local Wal Mart pays $11. I believe some do pay more.

Walmarts are owned 100% by cooperate , like 85% of McDonald's is owned by Mom and pops for example...


It has been reported numerous times 40% of the work force makes $15 or less, why do you want 40% of workers to make minimum wage? Surley you don't think a $15 dollar an hour worker will make $30 bucks an hour if minimum wage was doubled .

This is how it should be done. Not by government force.

Right but a lot of companies don’t give cost of living increases when they should. Decades could go by they won’t give raises except to the ceos

I wouldnt work for a place like that

Oh so you think it’s easy to find another company that pays better and will hire you? I don’t think most people in America have that luxury. I bet if most people lost their job tomorrow, they’d be unemployed for at least a couple few months and they’ll probably end up at another company making just about the same or less.

If only it were that easy to just go find another job that pays more. If it were that easy itd be great. Then I would agree with you.

I make almost $100k. It’s very possible if I lost my job I would not find another company that would pay me as well. I’d probably have to go prove I’m worth it and a lot of times companies don’t give you a raise even when you are worth it. I’ve seen my company let people go rather Than give a raise. I think most companies and employees know it’s the corporations who are in the drivers seat here.

It might be hard for you, but you cant speak for all of America.

One person can land the better job. Millions of others that need to work can not.

It would be nice to be able to tell my company if they don’t give me a raise I will go somewhere else and then be able to easily go somewhere else that pays more. If it were that easy we wouldn’t have such a struggling middle class.

It’s worth it if it means good paying American jobs.

You guys didn’t like tariffs. We did. Trump did, then you did. Do you still?
