Got my employment contract and it sounds so annoying already

#im selling my body and soul to serve the company #for minimum wage #and there's some really sloppy mistakes in there too #they didn't even get the paragraphs in order #they go 9 10 11 12 11 14 #get it together #and one paragraph just says 'the employee has to undergo an exam upon request' and while this is infuriating enough #someone didn't even proofread that sentence because it doesn't make any sense grammatically #and the beginning and the end of the sentence don't match #you'd either have to adjust the beginning or leave out a word in the end in order to make sense #and that's currently bothering me the most because wtf this is a legal document and you cannot even proofread it #if i make an mistake like this im sure id get some very angry feedback #also decided that i don't want the job badly enough to undergo anything i deem unnecessary #im sure it's nothing dramatic but if they wanna do something i don't want ill accept getting fired lol #also gotta inquire about whether it's okay for me to have another mini job in April and May or if they're against it #('the employee has to dedicate their entire work performance to the company and has to get permission to have any #other paid or unpaid (!) commitments including volunteer work')#(what. should i also ask whether i can function as a 'buddy' for international students since it's a commitment and not technically #free time?? (i understand the not having other paid jobs part but UNPAID stuff? like it's any of their business. killing them honestly)#anyway #i'll shut up now #(my mother has been feeling sick and last year this also ended up in Me throwing up for 3 days straight #and guess what #i can see how tonight is gonna go ♡ i will be complaining ♡ (not me literally wishing for something like this when i had my #little ed relapse recently. im sorry body. i take it back. this sucks so bad i do not actually want it)#vois screams

I feel like a good shorthand for a lot of economics arguments is "if you want people to work minimum wage jobs in your city, you need to allow minimum wage apartments for them to live in."

"These jobs are just for teenagers on the weekends." Okay, so you'll use minimum wage services only on the weekends and after school. No McDonald's or Starbucks on your lunch break.

"They can get a roommate." For a one bedroom? A roommate for a one bedroom? Or a studio? Do you have a roommate to get a middle-wage apartment for your middle-wage job? No? Why should they?

"They can live farther from city center and just commute." Are there ways for them to commute that don't equate to that rent? Living in an outer borough might work in NYC, where public transport is a flat rate, but a city in Texas requires a car. Does the money saved in rent equal the money spent on the car loan, the insurance, the gas? Remember, if you want people to take the bus or a bike, the bus needs to be reliable and the bike lanes survivable.

If you want minimum wage workers to be around for you to rely on, then those minimum wage workers need a place to stay.

You either raise the minimum wage, or you drop the rent. There's only so long you can keep rents high and wages low before your workforce leaves for cheaper pastures.

"Nobody wants to work anymore" doesn't hold water if the reason nobody applies is because the commute is impossible at the wage you provide.

Production houses: but if the writers stay on strike we can't guarantee the future safety of your favorite shows 🥺🥺😭😭

Viewers who 1, have already lost their favorite shows because they were cancelled in spite of good ratings and good reviews or 2, have stopped watching new content entirely until the entire series has aired and concluded as a result of so many good shows getting cancelled on cliffhangers and thus leaving said viewers unable to gain closure with those characters and with a hollow viewing experience, so they've begun a, watching older shows they know came to a planned conclusion or b, revisiting their old favorites and enjoying the nostalgia or c, reading new books or fanfic instead: YOU ALREADY CAN'T GUARANTEE THE FUTURE OF OUR SHOWS SO GET FUCKING WRECKED AND PAY WRITERS WHAT THEY DESERVE!

#wga strike #support the strikes #writer's strike #writers guild of america #writers guild strike #edit; well this blew up a little #i just wanted to add that all our favorite shows are absolutely nothing without their writers #the bare freaking minimum is that those writers get paid a liveable wage #they are so underappreciated even though tptb would have nothing without them #a living wage is the bare freaking minimum pay them what they're worth for the work they do

Even if Minimum wage jobs were just for teenagers that wouldn't justify such low wages. Call me crazy but if a child can work like an adult and puts in the amount of effort and responsibility of an adult and is expected to work as intensely as an adult would. They should get paid like an adult actually. It's so weird how in this country children are expected to face the burdens of adulthood and be ok with having none of the rights of adulthood.
