Have any of you ever worked on straight commission?
I mean no work no pay Well working as an auto tech for 28 years on flat rate I can tell you how being aggressive, passionate, committed and good at your job can be rewarding! Or a total Cluster-**** There were days when I spent the whole day rebuilding my sons transmission or engine while not getting any real work, meaning no pay That's what the business was at the time and I made the best of it Talk about survival of the fittest

Operating a floor buffer is an occupation of skill otherwise, the Army wouldn't have entrusted me with such a valuable, high dollar machine to operate.

I was discussing this living wage shit with the wife and her coworkers the other day, most hadn't heard anything about it. A couple asked if they'd get extra pay since they worked harder than the lazy bastards. When told them no the others get to stay home and screw off and get paid the same as you... Then I thanked them for voting for Biden... They had no idea he supported such ideas yet voted for him.
There shouldn't be handouts period(some exceptions of course for handicapped but no reason most couldn't do something also), if I needed assistance I wouldn't feel right not doing anything for it. I suppose most here remember when being on govt assistance was a last resort and nothing to be proud of, now it's a badge of honor it seems. |

Why is it MY job to work my ass off to allow some other sack of shit to be lazy? The number of people "left behind" in this country is extraordinarily small. Disabilities, mental issues, etc. With that said, as the child of a paraplegic father who worked his ass off, even the "disability" argument is almost always a load of shit. They STAY behind because they choose to stay behind. I have never known a single person who was willing and tried to work hard who was not able to achieve at least a decent living. You not trying isn't my problem. Quote:
Cliffs: Not my problem. Don't care. Stop telling me that I should have to pay for everybody else. |

I am an engineer by degree and spent enough of my life actually working as an engineer to realize that the business world sucks. I have enough specialized experience that people call me somewhat regularly with job offers that pay quite well. No thanks. I'm here today in my own shop with some greasy ass Harleys, working my ass off trying to build a business about to eat some Ramen Noodles for lunch... and I couldn't be happier. I'd rather eat Ramen (for now) and drive a 15 year old Yukon while I build my own business than kiss some douchebag's ass hoping he gives me a good review every year. The thought of working for someone else again and having to play the stupid games trying to get what crumbs get thrown down to employees is all the motivation I need. P.S. Anybody want to buy a motorcycle? |

For the last 150 years of the Industrial revolution we have had regular and painful changes in the makeup of the work force. We went from nearly 90% of Americans working on farms and ranches to less than 3% now. Automobiles were predominantly driven by chauffeurs in the late early 1900's. Manufacturing automation, Office automation, ATMS, and dozens of other changes have always impacted the least skilled the most.
One thing we do know is that if you ask the Government to "Fix" the problem they only make it worse. Let's the free market decide. People will need to learn new skills or invent new ones. But the people will do the best job of it. |

Maybe we should stop paying them from our taxes and support them through charity and work? |
