    It’s absurd lol my job was complaining they can’t find anyone to work, yet they’re offering $16/hr for machinists that would need to drive an hour just to get here… It’s a joke

      Damn I’m a Machinist with only mediocre experience and even I don’t get out of bed for less than $28. That shit’s skilled labor even if a bunch of yuppie MBA’s don’t think it takes any skill.

        I’m not even a machinist, I kinda wish I took that route. I came in as the lead assembler figuring I could prove my worth and “move up” into something better. Instead I became essential and am stuck lol

        Hmm, do I take the $16/hr that’s 1 hour away or the $17/hr that’s 90 minutes away…

          Seriously… I just look at indeed and want to strangle someone… How are like 85% of all jobs on there posting salaries that are barely good enough for a random store cashier…

      Someone I know that’s retired now (must be nice) said their government pension went up 6% last year because it follows inflation / cost of living. Ain’t nobody getting 6% salary raises in this economy, most are lucky if they get any raise at all, which really counts as a pay cut if food and rent keep going up
