#$15 an hour minimum wage

[beybuniki]

would you spend $15 - $20 on a request like this 🐐

i don't feel comfortable doing proper commissions (with colors, going back and forth), but i want to try doing some paid-for requests, basically :D I was looking for some pieces that i could as examples for how my sketch requests would look like and i realized i never draw singular characters, it's always 2 interacting with each other, drawing one character standing awkwradly is harder for me than two i guess 🐐

#ngl i think my commissions would be p expensive i dont see the ppint in working minimum wage but like $15 for two characters should be a #fair deal i think idk! #teaching salary is 30 / hour approx and i never rlly worked for less than 15 and hour

just a little behind the scenes but I ran the numbers and found I need to be making 420 book sales in order for my comic to be making a profit <3 hehehe funny weed number

#this is w me selling it at 12.50 #I’ve decided to keep it at this price for the first issue but going forward def increasing to 15$.. 😔🫶 #sorry gang #my goal then becomes 350 book sales #this is w me accurately representing my work as me getting paid 30$ for each hour I put in #if I give myself only minimum wage then it’s 175-210 in sales! #ohhhh I believe I believe that one day I can reach this goal amen 🥺🙏 #nuggyy txt #a little behind the scenes for you all I guess bahaha #I hope it’s not in bad taste for me to be talking so openly about this #but oh well #im a freelancer I gotta be honest w my audience 😭😭😭

got my first shift at my first Real Job tmrw night ending at 1am wml😔😔😔

#i love how flexible the shifts are and they're all really short it's like ideal for me but also. omfg. scary 😭 #gritting my teeth. i need money to leave this shithole country and i need a job to get money it's fine. this is fine #it's literally so discouraging to know ppl in the west have minimum wages of like 15 euros meanwhile it's literally 3 eur here #like even if you work hard you're only earning a fraction of what you could be if you were doing the same shit out there😭 #just like. the inherent agony of knowing im earning money that's gonna be way less valuable out there #but im not on minimum wage and it's flexible but shoulddd be around 5 - 15 euros an hour #it's the only reason i even applied at least this way i can tell myself im actually making a positive dent in my savings #idek how much i have saved rn coz i never spend on anything and I've been saving since i knew what money was #but forint is literally not worth the paper it's printed on anymore like man i remember when #a euro was worth 200 forint.... i literally have the same coins i did when i was 10 but they're worth less than half as much now. crazy #man I should've gone into economics or global politics for real i love this shit. whatever that's a whole different spiral #barking

after the knitting project i just finished i feel fairly confident in saying that one day i will open up a knitting etsy shop :)

#dichromaticdyke.exe #yes it will be mtl/dethklok themed #would probably only be able to do limited runs of each item...could MAYBE do a couple made to measure pieces on commission #but also for more popular stuff i'd be willing to sell the patterns so ppl could make them themselves! we'll have to see #all i know is i LOVE the design i just finished and i have enough yarn to make at least 2 more of it #the only thing that would suck is figuring out pricing since reimbursing myself fairly would NOT match up with what ppl are willing to pay. #i didn't actually time how long it took to make but i'd have to estimate around 15 hours? i think? idk lol. but assuming that... #for minimum wage plus cost of materials i would have to charge $240. and no one will want to pay that lmfao. $30 is probably fine.

Boss makes a buck, I make a dime

So I apply to other jobs on company time

#work reform #ik the first part isn't the original phase #but the wealth disparity is even worse than it used to be #and this has alitterstion and also rhymes #but yeah supervisor decided that all of a sudden I need to me micro managed even tho I'm the best in my area #I've already been fed up but with no car and no degree my options are limited #yesterday was just super bad #and i ended up venting a bit to the cashier at nearby petstore #cause she's retail she understands the woes #she mentioned they're hiring #I remember looking uo wages prior and they weren't the best #and so I brought it up #but she was like 'yeah our minimums 15 :(v #well fuck me because I get paid FOURTEEN AN HOUR #so that's still a fucking raise #and instead of working for a dying clothing store #I at least get to work for animals

[naturesgender]

me when my bosses at work discuss their incorrect opinions about homeless people ughhhhhhh "how do you afford drugs! how do you have an iphone!" first of all mind your business you do not understand what drug addiction feels like to manage and neither do i so this is one of these cool moments when we shut the fuck up <3 and second of all mind your business but also people don't necessarily lose all their belongings when they become houseless?? they probably had the phone before?? and even if they bought it while houseless what fucking business is it of yours how they spend their money!! cell phones are practically essentials in modern american society how likely do you think somebody is to hire you if you don't have a way for them to contact you

#i get paid $15 an hour (minimum wage in ny) to be here i don't wanna listen to you be wrong and judgemental

[lolexjpg]

"you'll need a doctors note" or what. or WHAT. you're gonna fire me. when i'm clearly a valuable worker and youre hemorrhaging employees constantly and you won't even pay me fairly to train new employees. sure. fire me. i'm sure burger king would be happy to have me

#or any of the places that pay above 15 an hour! #not joking when i said i'm in a fire me i dare you mindset #i had a 101 degree fever 2 days ago i'm not going into damn work #and i have medical ptsd so i will not be needlessly triggering myself for a fucking doctors note i do care more abt my mental health than t #this shitty minimum wage job!!! get fucked!!! #sorry for getting sick the weekend of st patricks day!!!!! EVERYONE WHO WORKS THERE KNOWS I DONT FUCKING DRNK. I'M NOT HUNGOVER #she speaks #work tag

[pyr0cue]

No one told me making commission prices is so hard. Like I know I should charge at LEAST minimum wage for each hour I work but likeeee. Like. What if I underestimate my value as an artist and charge like 20 dollars for a full rendered character

#and by minimum wage o mean minimum wage for my city which has a higher cost of living than the average #but that’s 17.25 an hour and I work like 3-15 hoirs on a piece and that’d be sooo expensive #imposter syndrome is fun

[francisforever2014]

my based professor yesterday was telling us about how she works for the university labor union and how she wants to get a law degree on the university’s dime and then use it to sue them 😭 obsessed with her . side note my on campus job never told me when my scheduled breaks are and i’ve never seen another worker take one

#meaning i’m just gonna take one whenever i want but jesus…….. #when i worked for the university in a different department the rule was 15 munute break for every 3 hours …. me and my coworkers shifts #are all 5 hours today #. #also the unions big thing is 25 by 25 ($25 an hour by 2025) and i’m still getting 14.25 (exactly minimum wage…..) hope my professor and her #comrades are successful #i should see if i can join now that i’m not on work study

[bitchfitch]

tbh for all the Thinking about setting up a shop I'm doing I'm hitting a wall called "I don't even know what I'd sell" like i have that hummingbird pattern i used to make a bulk amount of the fuckers for a friend's booth, but like.

What would y'all Actually want from me if i sold pieces? those blue tits? everyone seems to like my tits.

#i think the cheapest items pre shipping is going to be around 15$ but idk what the upper range is going to be #Im going to try and keep things on the low end but like sg takes a lot of time to make #and idk. im in a place where i cant charge less than 15$ per hour of work #so like. what minimum wage should be #im going to make some bulls no mater what option gets picked #mostly because i fucking Love bulls

[toastsnaffler]

indeed going back to the victorian age

#.diaries #being on indeed is like. kitchen porter £5 per hour (we promise this is legal!). orthodontist 100k/year. graduate lab job minimum wage #(MUST have a masters + 15 years experience). santas grotto elves minimum wage. farmhand to rear calves 30k/year. cleaner £6/hour #what if we all killed ourselves <3

[roserus-wizard]

Dude I’m trying soooooo hard to do math so I can come up with a good argument on why the store I’m working at isn’t giving me my well deserved yearly pay raise

#it’s says we get a 15 cent pay raise every year #ive worked there for almost SIX years! #that’s almost a dollar #90 cents to be exact #but I’m only getting paid 15 dollars and hour so it’s not adding up #AND the minimum wage is going up 50 cents #so that’s means I should be paid about 16 25 by the end of June but I’m not #so I’m trying to figure out how to bring this up to the boss cause it stupid but I want my money

[fishiest-fish]

absolutely fucked that the cheapest rent in my area is 60% of my dad and mines combined paychecks

#its not like we are minimum wage workers #i make 15/hour and he makes 24/hour minimum wage #we wouks both need to work 5 days a week which just isnt possible because we are both disabled #and even then rent would still take up so much of our paychecks #unless we want to live in the $1100/month apartments that are filled with black mold on the regular

[hella1975]

if work asks me to come in for the close shift tonight ONE MORE FUCKING TIME im gonna quit I ALREADY SAID NO

#swatting them away like flies rn they just keep coming back #BOTH OF MY MANAGERS HAVE ASKED ME THE SAME THING #'CAN YOU DO A 6-CLOSE' CAN YOU READ? CAN YOU TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER? CAN YOU ROTA PROPERLY? #like yes i dont have an excuse for not taking the shift i literally need the money and i already told them im back for reading week #but i dont WANNA and they dont know that i dont have a reason #SO BACK OFF #they're literally tagging me on the main facebook rn you want me so bad it makes you look stupid #actually no i DO have a valid reason for not doing it bc it's already 16:40 and i live 10+ MILES AWAY #like the next bus is the half five and that will get me in at already gone six #and i'll have to leave the house at 17:15 to catch it which gives me just over half an hour to shower and get ready for a close shift #absolutely fucking not you can SHOVE your minimum wage thomas #hella slaves to capitalism

[girl-kendallroy]

LETS FUCKING GOOOO‼️‼️

#the fact that they make at most $32 an hour is insane to me like are they not skilled workers…. #minimum wage is $15 at these plants like i literally make one dollar more working retail. #strikes

[dndnducks]

All I know is retail sucks, cashier sucks, being on bar sucks. Just give the people that work restaurant positions more MONEY for their work, and you as a consumer who is making the decision to eat there MUST TIP more.

Or else, don’t eat out. The people cooking and cleaning do not get paid enough for your bs long ass fucking order and having to break your hundred dollar bill and then clean the dining area.

#this is about working at Paris Baguette in Times Square #no to complain but also FUCK retail #15$ an hour? and it’s even worse in Alabama #a cook in AL makes 15$ #insanity #have the gall to look me in the face and say life is not fair #fuck you #retail #cashier #jobs #minimum wage
