I just got a stable job (50k/year) doing exactly what I want to do, but, I had to basically sink all of my wealth (80%) into a home (no rental joints out in the bush). It may end up costing me in the end, but, eh, if I stick around for 10 years and get a few raises, it will be worth it. I still have 50 grand and my wife got a job making about 30 a year, but, I hate sinking that much into a fuckin home, I feel they're just too volatile and uncertain. But you know, it's not really an investment, it's a place to live and not have to put up with gay landlords or something.

Anything under $12hr is literally unliveable in 2016.
Raise the min wage already.
>>1378125
>a livable minimum wage would be a cool start
What do you define a livable wage?
And what happens if when businesses are forced to pay this higher wage, they instead hire less employees and lay a lot of people off?
>>1378127
>Raise the min wage already.
What if I told you that raising the minimum wage is actually harmful to the most vulnerable people of the workforce, the Minimum wage workers (and thus the "lower class")?
>>1378127
$12/hr is godly here. you need a bachelors to get anything more than $10-11
(min wage $7.25)
>>1378134
i would tell you that you have no idea what you are talking about and your beliefs are rooted in classist pseudo science and hatred for the lower class
"there is no way that rich people could be less rich thats fucking impossible enjoy your scraps faggot"

No you unskilled loser, you can easily make more than that with a job in a warehouse or as a server.

server -> good luck if you don't have tits/even if you have tits you are probably only getting scheduled ~20hrs a week
>>1378131

What? How is fewer employees making a bit more money make up for higher unemployment? Watch the video I linked you retarded poorfag. It's like 4 minutes long, don't be as lazy as you are in your regular life and watch it

>>1378163
Not having the latest iPhone when it comes is LITERALLY slavery
The minimum wage should be raised to at least $50/hr, those rich wallstreet bourgeois scum can pay for it, they're making millions in bonuses or something
>>1378158
god the fucking strawman is so fucking strong
>he said minimum wage should go up so he means fast food is worth $15/hr
how the fuck someone digging fucking ditches or unloading trucks in 100 degree heat for $8/hr asking for $10/hr always turns into "them smelly lazy niggers want $15/hr for fastfood"
its not just fastfood. EVERYTHING is underpaid. 9/10 of my friends with bachelors degrees are making fucking ~$30,000/yr and without one you are worth $20,000 at best.
and from a little fuck boy who lives with his parents and is "saving for school" too. come back in a few years when you move out of your mommies basement
globalization was a fucking failure and has destroyed the value on labor in the united states
>>1378163
>starve and be homeless or get underpaid for your time

>>1378154
the irony is that most people are well aware that minimum wage is much more than enough (in america) because nearly all careers start there, or at least we've worked min wage in high school/college.
why do poorfags believe they are fooling anyone when they say shit like this?
guess what happens to your quality of life every time we raised wage? you buy some trivial consumable or a slightly nicer car, and do fuck all with your life again.
>>1378165
>EVERYTHING is underpaid
Things can't be underpaid. The market decided that is how much their labor is worth.
>9/10 of my friends with bachelors degrees are making fucking ~$30,000/yr and without one you are worth $20,000 at best.
What school, what degree, what GPA, did they network whatsoever? Did any of them do a single internship during all 4 years of college?
>inb4 no
>come back in a few years when you move out of your mommies basement
I am going to college right now and working a job, pretty comfy actually. Making a lot more than you or your friends and in comfier conditions too. Stay poor
>globalization was a fucking failure and has destroyed the value on labor in the united states
Only if you're easily replaceable.
If "Pajeet" or an illegal immigrant if replacing you i think the issue might be within you being so worthless you can get replaced by someone like that.
>how the fuck someone digging fucking ditches or unloading trucks in 100 degree heat
Oh yeah maybe you should have built some sort of skillset instead of digging ditches or unloading trucks. That's a job for an illegal immigrant from a poor shithole who can't even speak the language. In all likelihood your family has been here for at least two generations and you're STILL poor?
>>1378178
>everyone is either going to be a bigshot buidness man like me or die in the street with pajeet
yeah all the unpaid internships my friends did really paid off... they totally weren't scams at all... totally nailed them high paying jobs right out of school (nope)

>>1378168

How do you expect to be paid more than you make for the company? Why even hire you in the first place?
>>1378188
holy fucking shit i make 100 fold what the company pays me.
nigger felon tyrone has been on smoke breaks all night and gets paid the same shit.
if i ask for a pay raise you will fire me and hire another nigger who will steal from you and cause you a massive loss in productivity but you don't care because you suck at running a business and just seek to drive labor costs down even at a loss in productivity.
no matter how poorly you manage the shit though you still show a profit because of how hard you rape the employees and your boss gives you another raise and a parking spot closer to the building.

>>1378188
There's both supply and demand. When supply is high we say the price of something is "cheap" so I can relate that to being "underpaid". At some point it's so low it's not worth it to supply the product. You can't have such an oversupply of labor and expect people to still work.

>>1378304
you dont know much about the restaurant biz anon
almost everyone i work with went to culinary school and accumulated tens of thousands of dollars of debt for a $10-12/hr job
kitchen managers work 70-80 hours a week for like 35,000/yr and have been doing it for decades
also historically poor people are the best cooks because they actually have to cook food instead of paying schmucks to do it for them
>>1378309
>Going to culinary school
There's the first mistake.
What the fuck do they teach you there? How to saute some onions?
>>1378299
what frustrates me is that there people I work with who talk shit about the fast food workers pushing for a $15 wage saying why do they think they deserve that money when we do so much more than them.
Yes we do more than them, and yes we deserve to be paid more than we currently are but why does that mean other workers should be paid less? Point your anger at the people who control the whole pie rather than those who have a couple more crumbs than you.
Besides even if I put my personal feelings on the matter aside, they were out on the streets campaigning for this for YEARS. So far be it from me as a fellow member of labor to say they don't deserve anything they were able to wring from management.

my point said nothing about every cook on the planet making millions of dollars. i said if you were good, people would hand you cash right now to open a place up in any number of growing cities. good doesn't mean you went to school, dummy, it means you have auctioned off dinners or presented at shows and had big shots love your shit consistently. if you want to circumvent this shit, go back to school to become a "good" businessman, work a real job so that you're not poor anymore, and then open up your restaurant.
>>1378322
i dont make min wage. i make just enough to pay my bills and take a vacation once a year like a good goy.
>>1378324
you have no clue what you are talking about
99% of chefs dont make shit. they are a disposable piece of the machine that is the kitchen run by some faggot that sits at home and counts his money.
the only ones that do make money its off their image moreso than their talent and they are just pseudo celebrities
>>1378169
the same people who complain about minimum wage are the same people who don't live with roommates, have a smartphone with a major mobile service (at&t, t-mobile, etc), have cable tv, and buy other useless shit that drains their paychecks.
i know someone who just bought the new nexus phone and complained about the price. Meanwhile I told him about metropcs being way cheaper ($35 a month), only catch is texts dont go through sometimes and no galaxy/iphone as an option at teh store. He goes "nah, i need my texts"
you need food, you need running water. You even need phonecalls for job interviews and such. "something that requires you to only use 2 thumbs is not important" - forgot which comedian said that

don't forget smoking cigars at the playboy mansion while jetskiing on a helicopter twice a week.
chefs don't make shit if they are shit. but it is definitely a career driven by passion more than financial reward.
>>1378338
the worst owners ive seen are the ones that try to micro manage the buisness
the best are the ones that just sit at home and count their money
either way they would be more successful/make more if they actually valued their employees, paid to keep good cooks and didnt try to grind them into the dirt
its insane the turnover rate/inefficiency every kitchen deals with instead of just paying people a couple more bucks an hour. they could pay employees more and still make more money but instead they try to minimize labor costs and end up pissing some guy off that walks out the door with $300 worth of meat burning on the grill
>>1378316
You don't need to spend money on culinary school to know how to cook
It's as simple as literally following a recipe online
>>1378333
but it does mean the protesters are making false claims and simply whining about things that ultimately make no difference to them. the whole joke is that a company, not a real cause, is the reason people are just rambling in the streets about the entire fucking government and economy of a country, rather than solving a problem of one industry/market or another if one exists.
people like this >>1378336

i'm really struggling with the idea that every poor kid who just got out of school thinks they have a better business strategy than everyone in their field, but just doesn't have the opportunity to execute it.
especially since there are national and global competitions and recruitment efforts just for people in that situation that generally don't turn up much.

that's not unique to restaurants unfortunately, its a frustration in a lot of businesses. I'm the EMS guy from before and I see it constantly in my job. I work for a private agency that does the 911 response in the cities immediately north of NYC. Almost everyone who works for my company (including me) has applied to work as an EMT with the FDNY which does 911s in the city. For me, and for most others, we prefer working in the smaller communities outside of the city as most of us live up here, its significantly more relaxed, and for lack of a better word comfier. But going into the city would be approximately a $4/hr pay increase, and a massive step up in terms of benefits for what is only a slightly harder job.
There's a 2 year waitlist on that job, so every three months when the FDNY has another academy class we lose more of our experienced guys, replaced with raw rookies. If they paid just a few dollars more the amount of defections would drop like a rock, and the level of patient care would skyrocket.
But no, that would cut into my boss' yacht money. His fucking Jag's license plate is out2sea.
YEAH! $15/HR MINIMUM, NO $30. FUCK IT WHY NOT JUST PAY EVERYONE ONE-HUNDRED DOLLARS AN HOUR?
Those fatcat billionaires can definitely afford to pay for it

instead of taking any kind of constructive criticism they act like they already know the answer in a field they have absolutely no experience in/couldnt perform the job of an employee making a fraction of their salary
>>1378361
if they paid a few dollars more, the fellows in the city would do the same most likely if it made a difference to get those experienced cucks. stick to what you know, little guy.
>>1378311

>>1378367
god forbid that happened. gotta keep those plebs in their fucking place. gonna get all uppity and shit when they got a little pocket money.
>>1378350
No I'm not sure I agree with that, I think the reason its become a government issue is because of inaction from management of those businesses. Its only a matter of time until labor action of that magnitude is going to attract the attention of left leaning politicians who either are genuinely pro-labor or like my governor Andrew Cuomo (excuse my cynicism) see an opportunity to jump in and make a name for themselves once the issue has already been established by the hard work of community organizers and labor leaders.
I'm a pretty pro-labor guy if you couldn't tell, but not exclusively so. I know that jobs only exist when labor management and capital all work together. So now that $15 min/wage is coming to NYC I'll be interested to see what effects it really has, positive and negative. If it does turn out to have been a mistake and many businesses are forced to close I wont be too proud to admit it.

if the management is shit then the restaurant is shit. go find a decent one or genuinely talk with your management about making shit better. your behavior is exactly the reason you're being paid and treated like a dog, not the other way around.
it's not about white collar fuckbois, it's about the unfortunate vast majority of people who are assholes, with or without money. if you want respect and a good wage, earn it you fucking dick. it might not be fair but you have a whole lifetime to do something with yourself beyond complaining. if people acted like me and knew what you thought, you wouldn't even have a job.

labor costs are ~10% for most businesses

i'm all for the min wage to be reevaluated periodically and openly discussed to be honest. and i think the experiments will go well and lead to higher wages. it's pretty lame that instead of being more flexible and innovative, we just lure immigrants in to take the jobs and/or convince people to make unnecessary sacrifices.
but it won't change their lives much if at all. you shouldn't be an adult working minimum wage in the first place, whether that means you are being undervalued or you are just abusing yourself deliberately.
the people that politicians target and can influence are a small handful compared to campaigns from the companies and organizations looking for a profit on stirring shit up or getting their members higher wages. some politicians just repeat what some of these movement leaders say to seem relevant, but most of the time they are worlds away from these issues.

>>1378415
>working hard not meaning anything
Just jumping in randomly, but what the fuck? That's literally the crux of American values and entrepreneurship. Telling someone their hard work doesn't mean shit is blasphemous and fucked up. That's exactly why we have fucking NEETs more than ever in history.
We're dealing with a generation where their hard work isn't being accounted for. Hard workers deserve better pay and better benefits; slow workers deserve the set minimum; average workers deserve average pay and benefits.
How are you going to sit there and tell someone their hard wok doesn't matter or count? That's fucked up.
>>1378410
I was actually discussing this point with my father the other day as we were driving through the Bronx. He raised the issue that when he was my age the area we were in used to have tons of factories that employed mainly first generation immigrants from the west indies, and paid only slightly above minimum wage.
Those unskilled labor jobs are all gone, they've been shipped off to third world countries and they're never coming back. The same types of people who used to work those unskilled jobs now work in fast food.

your assumption is that hard work = fast, accurate, reliable work. everyone should be working hard at a certain standard, my point is that working harder doesn't mean that the business suddenly thrives and reinvents the wheel in the industry and needs to pay you in gold mansions to keep you there. most of the time people saying they work hard(er) are just doing needless extra shit or barely maintaining the standard because they are incompetent in the first place.
america relies on resilience and sweat, but i'm talking about an individual who feels entitled to more money and suggesting how he gets to that point. especially in food service and creative fields like it, relationships mean far more than just quantifying your effort into following instructions to your success.
>>1378442
food service a good employee directly correlates to profitability
less fuck ups, less food waste, less mess, less cleaning time, faster/better quality of service that nets repeat customers
you wont ever see an extra penny for it though and just expect to do more/harder work for the same pay
my only other work experience was 6 years in the army. don't even get me started... 90% of those fuckers were brain damaged mouth breathers constantly faking injuries and trying to get medical retirements while 10% of people did everyones work for the same pay
the "everyone gets the same" mentality of employers is fucking baffling.

Its basically like local socialism. Socialism implemented on a small scale by legislative fiat. Paying better employees more would be discrimination, after all.

>i dont understand why my employees are disgruntled, lazy and suck at life
>i also dont incentivize good employees
>maybe i should just employee more even lower paid employees to do the same job
the whole management philosophy in america is beyond retarded
>>1378452
It's Fordism.
You make the standards so low so that you can always meet your standard with whatever yahoo you throw in.
This happens literally everywhere because they believe employees are fungible.

>paying people with the same responsibilities the same is baffling
>choosing to do a job clearly meant for brain damaged mouth breathers is not baffling
you sound like a little kid crying for his dads attention. the quality of service and profit at a (real) restaurant depends on the whole team, everybody has very critical tasks and whether you do more than what you are expected to do or not, it's not up to you to decide what you're worth. if your place treats you like shit, and the next one, and the next one, then you are fucking DOG SHIT
>>1378459
>everyone has the same responsibilities
they put the retarded kid on salads. if he fucks up it costs them a few pennies.
they put the hard worker on the fucking grill sweating dick. if he fucks up it costs them hundreds of dollars.
>both get paid the same

be retarded then, so you can just toss your bosses salad all day.
sounds like you have no fucking clue man.

imo the biggest issue I have with the raising of min wages, is that it shafts small business. They usually have smaller margins, big companies are usually the ones that don't treat their employees as well. I could be wrong though
>>1378295
holy fuck. A kid washing dishes makes more than an EMT? fucking no way man.
>>1378486
Yep, and I work in a union shop too. We do get annual pay increases and decent benefits but its still fucking nothing. I'm with a private EMS agency, but even municipal agencies pay like shit.
In new york city the FDNY pays its firefighters $76,775 as its starting salary, but it only pays its EMTs $33,649. Funny, I don't really feel like I do less than half the work they do.

>gunshot wound
>call ambulance
>receive treatment and ride to hospital
>$1500 bill
>EMT makes $9 dollars
"You see anon the market decided that EMTs are only worth $11/hr. This is very simple if you don't agree you are just an angry ignorant child communist"
>>1378507
realistically your bill would probably only be around $500 for the ambulance ride, and as long as you have insurance it should be covered, have fun with the hospital bill though.
According to my bosses 911 EMS is surprisingly difficult to make much of a profit on because we pick up so many lowlifes who just don't pay, and don't really give a fuck if it fucks their credit. You can't exactly repossess medical care. Much easier to make money on medical transports, like transporting some old lady from the hospital back to her nursing home, because they have to be pre-approved by the insurance so its guaranteed money.
The more I've worked this job the more I've realized that 911 EMS should not be privatized. There was a really good article about it in the nytimes a couple weeks ago
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/26/business/dealbook/when-you-dial-911-and-wall-street-answers.html?_r=0
its become a bit of an issue since one of the agencies here in the NY metro area that did 911s for a number of municipalities declared bankruptcy very suddenly, taking dozens of ambulances off the streets with 0 warning or contingency. People died because of it, and the former employees have still not been paid for the last 3 weeks or so of work.

i bet the guy that pulled that stunt got a raise
>>1378528
woman actually, Lynn Tilton is the former president of that company. She's a billionaire who is frequently called one of the she-wolves of wall street.

In my experience working with a lot of small businesses in Europe, if they can't handle a minimum wage increase they were going to fail anyway.

Unions are a fucking joke. A double edged sword really. You get some benefits, raises, and job security out of it, but in exchange you get union dues up the fucking ass, none of your employees can be fired unless they commit a criminal act, and you get the same raises as everybody else regardless of how hard you work. Most industry unions are like this, I'm sure about yours though.

speaks volumes of how fucked up we are that being a "wolf" is a good thing and standing up for the poor/working class is laughable/shameful
couldn't imagine having billions of dollars and waking up and deciding to kill some dumb plebs to raise my profit margins on ambulance services
>>1378785
These are people who believe they worked harder and deserve everything more than anyone else does. It's impossible for them to even consider they caught a lucky break or 3 to get where they are. Hence everyone else should have worked as hard as them but didn't,they're too lazy to be successful
>>1378791
>sitting in a fancy air conditioned office and deciding who to kill or fire right before retirement
sounds like really easy work. guess you would have to surround yourself with really nice things and ass kissers to blind yourself to what a soulless cunt you are though
>>1378797
A lot of the time they have a total disconnect with reality.
A lot of people who have terrible managers do their best to avoid becoming them and send up working freelance just to avoid that sort of bullshit. Working relationships between freelancers working for each other are leaps and bounds better than interdepartmental politics and relationships.
you can always tells who those (for lack of a better term) temporarily embarrassed millionaires are. they are angry defending the people they aren't . which is weird desu.
