also I love all the $17-18 job opportunities out there

do these people LIVE in Seattle? Do they just assume any and all of their employees are 20 somethings already forced to stay with their parents by the way this whole society was already completely fuxx0red?

@Leucrotta Yeah same job in the city center is 22/hr, but the instant you step across the boundary it's 16/hr.

22 still isn't a living wage anywhere near here.

@matoakit the employer who required me to commute daily, potentially stay late and be the only contact person in the office etc, was giving me $20/hour

after I requested it

and they fired me after I asked for another raise 6 months later.

@Leucrotta Yeah, same thing with the jobs I've looked at, anything non union gets no pay raises ever.
