I read comments posted to this story online and there seemed to be a general consensus that this company didn’t pay well. Sounds like this 1%er is pissed that he can’t force workers into his substandard wage jobs.
Back in the good old days up in Bristol Bay AK during the summer runs of sockeye, guys hire Vietnamese deckhands for cheap, like $500 for the season (which often grossed $100-200K).
They were not allowed in the boat cabin and had to sleep and cook in the boat fish hold. There was no shortage of Vietnamese deckhands.
So cry me a river for these poor spoiled, soft, wimps that pass for kids these days.
Could be. But why does he and Home Depot exist in the first place then?
I assume HD has to pay similar to competitors? Otherwise why not quit and go to one of them to do the same work? My experience is the minions in Menards, Lowes, and HD are all pretty interchangeable, although Menards has totally avoided self checkout.
Not to be contrarian but I'm pretty sure he's very well compensated. It's just the lower tier not doing so well.
Of course the Fed is asking employers to stop paying people more because higher wages will drive up inflation.
Exactly. So I’m gonna get up at the crack of dawn drive across town in rush-hour traffic drive back in rush-hour traffic essentially spending 12 hours of my day getting ready for a job and being on the job and driving to and from the job for nine bucks an hour. And this billionaire clown wants to know why People arent motivated.
He is the founder of the company. He’s not running it now.
I bought a cheapo Vissano refrigerator at HD 30 days ago. https://foodandfizz.com/who-makes-the-vissani-refrigerator/
The workers at HD hefted this onto the pickup truck
Don’t believe everything that you read, just sayin’. Your comment is just not true. I know mid-level managers that are making mid-six figure earnings. Many end their careers millionaires.
The rabble will always complain, and that’s also why we have Democrats in charge. They promise the world to the undeserving, so they vote Rat.
They could probably afford to pay more, but it will never be enough, no matter how much they pay.
I know 2 people that work for HD, and they make enough to do what everyone else does.
