[QUOTE="Lucky, post: 1682991, member: 32659"] My minimum wage employees (of all ages) are mostly women that do not want a job with a fixed schedule or any type of truancy program. Some are married some are not. They mostly work there so they can be off when husband and the kids need them. I don’t have a problem with that as most of the time it works for all involved. What happens to my top employees when I raise the slackers to $15, do I pay them $15 or move them to $20 or more? The higher paid girls work overtime too so that cost has to figure in as well. I had an employee that will only work Mon - Fri 6-2 call last week and say through the summer she needed off every Monday and some Fridays to spend time with grandkids. Not baby sit just spend time with them. I told her we could make it work and I’m glad she’s able to do that. Now, should I feel bad if she can’t pay her bills? I work my tail off to have what I have and have missed out on allot. I don’t cry or ask the government to pay me for a few years to make up for lost time. I just don’t understand it. Oh yes, not 10 minutes after my original post the nephew I spoke of sent me a text about a job working on the road I told him about. He needed a direct link to the application. Took me about 2 minutes to pull it up and send it to him. He wants $20 minimum to work but can’t find a simple careers page on a website? SMH About a year ago I quit going to Wal Mart for reasons I won’t get too deep into. One of them was I don’t think they treat they’re employees right and use the government to supplement the way they do business. I’m just one person and don’t make a difference but if 20% of the population did the same they’d be forced to change. Quit going to McDonald's until they raise wages.
