Topic | Tax cut went towards stock buybacks, not wages |
Esrac 06/28/18 10:31:06 AM #50: | KamenRiderBlade posted... Employers will NEVER raise wages unless they risk losing talent or can't hire appropriate talent. I know I'm in the lowly unskilled labor pool right now, but my employer, for example, does basically refuse to raise wages in general. The starting wage in my department is $9 an hour and has been for years. The average raise per year is about 1%, so about as close to nothing without actually being nothing. Even though my department is constantly shorthanded because no one wants to drive out to this casino in bumfuck small town Louisiana to work a 10 hour shift for $9 an hour. They offer a 401K program, but they only contribute $0.25 for every $1 the employee contributes, up to 6% of the employee's wage. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
