15$ outperform the owner. so why the owner is payed more than 15$ with taht logic?
They’re taking a risk!
The risk
They might have to work for a living
wow wow slow down taht list is to much for me!
one of my proudest moments was when my “I will never be friendly to a small business owner” comment became a site tagline
My site tagline is the one about how hearing the slimy whisper that V*ush calls a voice turns me into a castration-obsessed 1970s era political lesbian
that one is probably my favorite, it’s so fucking good
It came straight from the heart. I think i followed it up with a line about how i haven’t gotten bottom surgery yet, but seeing V*ushs beard still makes me lose 2cm of depth from spontaneous vaginism.
I wrote a few of them, but the one I’m most proud of is “Welcome home, comrade”
The owner makes less than $15 an hour then, right?
As if the owner would ever do an hour of work in a day
If the owner just checked in for half an hour a day and fucked off with $10 I’d consider that a win
You don’t know how agonizing and back-breaking it is to spend 20 minutes digging through emails to find my employer identification number and having to drive to Best Buy to get more ink so I can print motivational posters with the Getty watermark still on them. I have to spend minutes of my day contemplating what I should tell other people to do for me. Sometimes I even have to sit down and fill out a sheet of paper! After all is said and done I only have eight hours remaining to decide what boat I should buy to replace my own one.
$12 per hour = works like two people
And yet only gets paid 1.25x what the minimum wage person does
Worked at a warehouse for a small family owned business once and now I work at an Amazon warehouse and it’s like fucking night and day. At least Amazon managers have no like personal investment in the goings on really, everything is just numbers and you’re just one cog out of many so its easy to avoid scrutiny. If a small business tyrant decides they don’t like you? Good fucking luck.

A lot of people welcomed big box stores and conglomerates into their neighborhoods, and not just for the lower prices.
Now it makes me think of all the time people said to support local businesses and I was confused because all they did was resell things from literally the nearby supermarket (for which I briefly worked so I know for a fact) at a higher price. It’s just all capitalism. :(
I have a similar experience while looking for a place to rent. A few private landlords said “no foreigners”, one refused to believe my female S.O. made median wage for a man in our city and demanded to see her tax documents, and one tried inserting a clause into the lease saying I’m not allowed to cook “ethnic foods” (lmao).
At that point even the realtor was shocked at how shitty these people were being and referred me to a big corporate landlord. They asked to see my ID, my pay slips, and then handed me their standard terms and conditions. I moved in that week.
I am in no way defending any landlord ever, but sometimes being just another number can work to your advantage. Numbers don’t have skin color or nationality or gender.
Small business i used to work at tried to not pay me for 20 hours worth of work. Thankfully I had been recording the hours I worked because I like recording stuff and could show them the pics I took.
Later they started using these wipes I had allergic reactions to, then lied about using them when I was very clearly having an allergic reaction, and then stopped giving me hours after I sent them a picture of a thing my allergist gave me that said I’m allergic to an ingredient in those wipes.
I worked for a gigantic company with sites all over the world and I offhandedly told someone im allergic to the hand soap so I bring my own. That same day the person who coordinates supplies for all the sites in my part of state emailed me about switching the my site to a different soap that I can tolerate.
Fuck that company too (ceo is a nepo baby) but small businesses commit the majority of wage theft and their owners are more likely to breathe down your neck
their owners are more likely to breathe down your neck
For all the Graeberian waste that goes on in corporate businesses, I’ll take being micromanaged by a yes man middle manager over being micromanaged by the company’s owner any day. I worked in a small-to-medium sized business that was growing really quickly and the owner just got more deranged as time went on. Because he insisted that, despite delegating responsibilities to people all over the company, he needed to be the jack of all trades with his eyes in every department. He basically wanted to avoid being out of touch and wanted to make sure he was holding his managers responsible. He even had several instances where he let go of asshole managers who were treating their workers like dirt. He was essentially a good guy who meant well. But he was also a tyrant by nature of his incompetence. He was an awful programmer. He was an awful video editor. He was an awful logistics technician. He was awful at tech support. He was excellent with clients. But his obsession with being the Everyman made sure he drove himself crazy focusing on all the stuff he was shitty at. It made him stressed out and volatile when there was no need for it. I was under constant stress that he might come around at any moment and be having a bad day and decide I was doing my job wrong and needed to be fired. Never again with that shit.

Great general rule about people (or in this case, employers) - if they state something that should be a given when no one asked, the opposite is true.
It’s like shopping for sausages and seeing a label that says “100% Pork NO RAT MEAT”.
“NO DRAMA” means tons of drama
I’ve seen guild invitations claiming to be “ZERO DRAMA” in numerous online games.
It also immediately tells you that you’re going to see some slurs in guild chat.
Middle school math textbook ass employer
“One person working makes a minimum of 9$/hr. One person doing the work of two people makes $12/hr. How much money is this dipshit stealing from his employees every hour?”
~$98. It’s an estimate but minimum wage work in places like coffee shops is up there among jobs that pay lowest per labour value.

I applaud the shit coffee shop workers have to put up with, definitely couldn’t do it myself
Nonzero chance this dipshit pays out the nose to some corporate landlord, barely breaks even, and thinks short-changing wages will make up the difference.
Damn, so for the last one, you have to be the BEST, and do all of the above, including being a MEDIOCRE person?
You have to be better than the boss to get $15 / hr. ~$30K a year, bet the boss is pulling way more than that lol
1st job, has experience
Baby shoes, never worn
no more half measures
If you work like two people, shouldn’t you be paid at least double minimum wage?
Best I can do is a pizza party once a year.
I recently switched jobs. It was 80% about pay and 20% about management at the old place tripping over their own dicks all the time.
The old place had good parties though.
And if they say it’s because of pay, then clearly it wasn’t a good exit interview.
Ask me about how I’ll hate your guts if I hire you.
no more half paychecks
Top objective as a leader: Set attainable and reasonably well structured goals with meaningful incentives for achievement.
Or you can try this method.
Top objective for small business owners: be a decent enough person so that when the time comes I’m to small a fish to get

If you outshine and outperform the owner by the laws of meritocracy you should get ownership of the business
You lot might like the fact CEOs got paid £500k extra last year on average. There’s money in society, just they aint sharing.
