    I just found out exactly what the American minimum wage is and I can’t quite find a way to articulate my shock.

    O_O is close except it doesn’t convey my dismay.

    What the hell?

    holy crap. you guys…

    o_o

    Jon just got a job doing sales full-time and he gets 11/hr plus commissions, which is, like… amazingly good, most of the offers he had were $8/hr which we just couldn’t live on.

    he made a bit more at his last job but that was after 3 years there and several raises.

    7.39 an hour, bb. I just got my yearly raise. At least my manager is trying to get me into the higher paying job, but my DM is dragging his feet. YES, I AM THE BEST FRONT END ASSOCIATE, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE MORE MONEY, ASSHAT.

      Oh, and you still have politicians in the US who want to eliminate the minimum wage.
