#the truth is they're mad because math is hard and they don't understand how percentages work

maybe you're in an industry with a group of "old school" workers who love to talk shit about how they suffered without whining about it and never had anything handed to them. they're super tough guys, don't fuck with me types, i know more than you ever will and i'm going to treat you like shit then act like i'm just screwing around types. you know them, i know them, we've all encountered them.

if you're still intimidated by these types, pay a *little* more attention to them.

because odds are they are the whiniest, cry about everything, category 5 tantrum throwing motherfucker you will ever encounter. and they'll spend a week out of work after throwing their back out with a fart.

#just observing the legacy auto workers who 'never whined or demanded anything we just keep getting screwed' #and yet every contract year it's wall to wall sob fest about legacy workers getting nothing cry-wail-poor me #the truth is they're mad because math is hard and they don't understand how percentages work #why yes you're only get a 10% raise and i will get a 19.5% raise but get this: we will be making the same exact wage afterwards #if you keep insisting on having a higher wage than everyone else then lower wage workers will always get the bigger pay raise
