But they ARE paying the that wage. They’re just paying them incrementally, based on performance, rather than time.
Again, yes, you are incredibly privileged that you have been allowed to sit around doing nothing & getting paid for it. Quit pretending you aren’t.
Dead time is still time on the job. Time when you ARE expected to work. The fact that you didn’t get fired is your privilege.
Good Will is not some saintly organization, no one here is arguing that. But commerce is commerce & if those jobs fill the need for someone who can’t take on additional work, then they serve a reasonably valuable purpose in society.
Well this is the first time anyone has ever suggested I was privileged for having a minimum wage fast food job where sometimes customers didn’t come in so we didn’t have to work for a while.
You have a very strange idea of privilege if you think you can be privileged to have a job that doesn’t pay a livable wage. Or a fast food job at all.
During downtime, were you not expected to clean, restock, & prep for the next rush? If not, then your store was run by a dunce, and that would also constitute as your privilege.
If you knowingly sat on your ass, taking pay, while your coworkers did those jobs… that makes you a dick, but a privileged dick nonetheless.
You are claiming that “downtime” is unpaid time at work, but you know you were likely supposed to be working on something.
An unspoken agreement with management to chill out after the rush, as a reward for working the rush in the first place… yep, you guessed it! That’s a privilege.
Those people took those jobs because the pay structure & work requirements suit their needs. Get off your soapbox & leave ‘em be.
I have literally never heard anyone call a fast food job privileged before just because sometimes there’s downtime. That’s the weirdest claim I have ever heard.
Those people took those jobs because the pay structure & work requirements suit their needs.
Cool, so we better not pay them more money because giving the disabled more money to spend would be bad for some reason.
Really, paying them what anyone non-disabled would have to legally be paid for the exact same job would just be an insult to them. I know I get insulted every time I get paid more money at my very privileged jobs that you are certain I have had.
