A tweet saying “100k a year to take someone’s order at Taco Bell <thumbs up emoji>. Totally makes sense.”. It has a reply saying “Where the hell did you get that number? If someone’s working enough hours to make that on $15 an hour, they deserve it. $15 an hour, a person working 40 a week makes $31,200 a year.” the reply has 2 likes.

    How about the recent trend (past decade or so) of managers requiring their employees to find their own call-out coverage?

    This has been the norm my entire life, and my first min wage job was in the mid 00’s, mid 2000’s.

    I guess I just also assumed people knew this was and has been the norm basically forever, this is what I meant by ‘managers not actually managing and gaslighting you into doing their job for them.’

    All your points and details are correct though.

    I guess we can also tack on the nonsense American workplace cultural norm of:

    Your boss can basically fire you on a whim, in many common scenarios…

    But you as an employee are expected to give two weeks notice before you quit.

    This is more widespread and isn’t unique to min wage service/retail jobs… but this also literally makes no fucking sense and every European I’ve explained this to has been appalled by the concept.
