    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

          Thing is, you’re not essential. If you left the company would move on. Maybe you should look elsewhere.

        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

        Nope lol it’s just how far you’d have to be to be able to afford to even live here. Long island is stupid expensive. I need to move, but I’m “uneducated” so I’m pretty much worthless lol
