So true. I work a job that you'd think would pay me a living wage when I could hardly afford to get by.
That's been the case for majority of my jobs. Especially when working for Sodexo where my boss could hardly even afford an apartment.
The ****tiest revelation is when you find out you work twice as hard as people that get paid much much more than you.
You know the stupid stereotypical stories you get from delusional parents that tell you they used to walk 3 miles home from a job or some **** to afford their house or their new car? That's me except I still can't afford a car or even an apartment. And my insurance is trash. Most people with my conditions could hardly even hold a job and I've had to with no treatment or care for it just to struggle to get by.
I don't understand why the same people that shove the "life isn't fair" **** down your throat are the same ones that believe you get what you earn. You don't. You get taken advantage of because there is nothing you can do about it.
