wow...the perfect fucking meme for Gen X. You want to know why we hate are parents so much...THIS is why. And if you don't understand it, then you're nothing more than a filthy fucking jew-worshiping loser.....
I have been trying to hire for weeks. It's just a grunt job, no skills required just occasionally move some stuff around with a forklift or dolly. Lots of room to move up to sales / management / etc. Family owned company no affirmative action bullshit.
Two different young guys, one 20 one 22 came in, I offered them 14 bucks an hour to start with great FREE health insurance in 90 days, the first one told me and I quote "oh I'de like to at least make what I was making during covid" so I asked him where he had worked during covid.... "oh I just mean from the unemployment"
2nd kid came for interview said the pay was fine but didn't want a job in a warehouse cause the heat would "get to him"
and here you are whining about jobs. Your great grandfather had a shit job too, but he also had a garden, and probably some chickens, maybe even went hunting and fishing for meat. Any millennial who is complaining about pay I guarantee has never grown a cucumber or scaled a stack of crappie.
Food is basically free as long as you don't think Totino's pizza rolls are food.
Depending on the area 14/hr might be reasonable except that it probably isn't. 14/hr might barely afford a shit apartment in most areas of the US. They can't afford a wife to actually cook and prepare their meals for them (something their grandparents had). Which massively cuts into their free time at home. Not that they were taught how to cook or even what to buy to cook actual food anyways. Whose fault is that? The schools? The parents? Their own? They aren't going to have space for the garden. Or for chickens. They probably can't afford to go hunting. Licenses, truck required, gun required, depending on area you may have to travel a decent way (fuel prices).
2nd kid sounds like a fucking pussy. 1st kid was conditioned by gubment gibs to be lazy.
Since you're a family owned smaller company I'll assume you aren't working slavish 12hr 5+ days a week shit like I've been stuffed with. So maybe you've got that going for you. But otherwise, your job offer sounds extremely unappealing.
Again, I don't know the purchase power of 14/hr where you are, but I'm currently making just under 20/hr and over half my income just goes into rent for my shitty studio apartment. Never mind shit like fuel and insurance which probably takes up 20% on its own.
Edit just because I feel like being a sarcastic asshole: FREE health insurance??? You mean that thing offered by every employer under the sun that most people in their 20s won't actually use?? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP!
The 22 year old had a kid, the insurance would have covered him too.
once you said studio apartment you stopped being a human to me. Urbanite faggot. Move to the suburbs/ rural area you can have a 1/2 lot with a house and your mortgage will be like 900. My last employee was at $18 an hour and he and his gf (who had a minimum wage job) both had a decent vehicle and a newer house with a fenced in yard for their dogs. Money was tight for them but they got by. You want to live that big city life style then you havn't been paying attention to what voat has been telling you.
Jumping to conclusions asshole, the town I live in is under 30k population. It's STILL TOO expensive to live in anything other than a shitty apartment. Because investors and boomers buy up and hoard all the fucking properties! Imagine that! My DREAM is to be able to afford to move OUT of city limits, actually to a new state entirely.
If your starting pay is $14/hr and that guy was making $18/hr he's well over minimum wage so obviously the cost of living is significantly lower, which I stated I didn't know the buying power of $14/hr there. I also don't know if you've got cushy 8 hour shifts or slaving 12 hour shifts, it's a BIG difference in how much of your free time goes away as well as how much more exhausted you would be just in general. Which means at $18/hr that guy is making an actually good wage, $14/hr is likely still nonsense wage. I bet if you had offered $18, they would've taken the job.
I challenge you to find me a piece of property that isn't in a ghetto which is going to run less than $150k.
Health insurance is literally useless to the overwhelming majority of people in their 20s. Even if they have children, it goes mostly unused. (Of course, depending where you live you have idiots that go to the doctor for every cut and bruise they ever get) Free health insurance still is NOT a good bargaining tool when it's offered literally EVERYWHERE.
A $900 mortgage where I live would be a fucking godsend. Of course then you'd also need the credit to get approved for the loan, and a down payment, etc. Of course in my state that doesn't include utilities (some states do include utilities in that, which is pretty based) so you're looking at another ~$200 for that.
and no including utilities is not "based" you commie faggot, something begin free to you is the opposite of based. Also I have never heard of a mortgage having utilities included, thats shit renters include you dumb child.
Angry boomer seething and coping. Utilities being included in mortgage and rent doesn't mean you aren't paying for it, retard. It means that it's included in the price so you know what you are paying up front.
Nice, you actually found some decent size homes for reasonable prices in the US. I still wouldn't make the commitment of trying to buy one of those on only $14/hr. Nor would most other people. But I do like how you got your panties all twisted up.
