TopicYou think schools will go back to remote if Covid gets bad in them?

My wife nannys for a family and during the first week of pre-school one of the teachers got covid so they have closed the school for 2 weeks.

We live in Atlanta, GA.

Kind of crazy that schools universally still don't have a system setup in what to do if a staff member gets covid. Most businesses seem to have adjusted, schools not so much.

I'm confused on this. I've done doordash as a driver and before you accept any order you already know what you were getting tipped, you aren't forced to accept an order you can just hit decline and another order will be sent. I used to decline anything that was 3 dollars and under.

Did they change this in the last 6 months?

I personally don't agree with this. Lots of jobs have down time. But as soon as a call or customer comes in, you have to drop everything and make them the priority. Don't finish the page you're on in the book or the song you're listening to.

Sure, and if you have been working at that job for 6+ months I'm sure they wouldn't care. TC was like this on day 1. You have to earn being a slacker.

Did no one ever tell you to dress better than expected the first day and then go down from there?

It sounds like you had clothes that were but choose not to wear them so thats on you.

For anyone that ever needs clothes though there are thrift stores to pick up something decent in a pinch.

I mean a pair of slacks and a polo shirt at Walmart is like $25 total. Id be really worried if TC couldn't afford that.

Wearing shorts and a t-shirt and reading during office time... yeah I can see why they let you go. There is no such thing as downtime when you are on the clock. You have to realize there is no shortage of hiring right now so even as a temp you need to stand out in a positive way because if not there are 20 other people in line waiting for your position.

No, I've been in interviews that I've realized 5 minutes in I'm way over qualified or it's not a great fit at all. But I still see them through, it's 30-40 minutes tops so not a big deal to tough it out.

It depends on where you live. You can live off of ~$25-30k a year in my area, and most areas in the US, and $15/hour works out to ~$30k a year. I am totally for a federal minimum wage increase but anything over $15 is ridiculous. If states with a high cost of living want to make the minimum wage higher that is fine, though those states should probably also question why their cost of living is so high compared to other states.

The problem here is that people seem to think minimum wage is for adults supporting a family. It isn't. Minimum wage is meant to be for entry-level adults with no dependents or for young students who are dependents. If you are trying to support two kids on minimum wage, as bad as I feel for the children, that is the result of your stupid decisions. Someone in this topic said it best,

Poor people are mostly poor because they make stupid decision after stupid decision. That is why I am okay with a one-time wealth redistribution. If we do that, things are going to be exactly the same within 5-10 years and people can finally stop complaining about "not having a chance."

What state?

Thats still more than some degreed professionals. Thats definitely more than a lot of trade work. Minimum wage should be $9-10/hr MAX. You want more money? Go learn a trade.

Give me an example of a trade and tell me what state to apply that trade. Little experiment.

I think that if my parents can make such a good life for themselves on a teacher's salary then everyone should be able to as well.

That's the problem though Duncan that people are trying to get you to understand. Do you know right now what your parents pay a month for their mortgage? What about gas/electricity/water/internet/your cell phone bill? I'm assuming your parents either have 1 car or 2 cars to get to work? If so do you know what they are paying for their car insurance? And lastly do you know what your parents spend a week on groceries for a family of 4?

Now take into consideration what year did your parents move into your current house and compare it to the same square footage in 2021. Does it begin to sink in why $9/hr or even $15/hr in 2021 is still not even close to a livable wage?

Post 5 and post 17 are asking for 32 or 33 hourly as minimum wage which ranges more or less in the 65k-68k range. Nearly 70K. Are yall living in the heart of
California or something?

@Jiggy101011

Maybe I'm missing something but that gets you 63k a year before taxes.
