    I have so much respect for the asshole kids that work at my local taco bell

    They are daring someone to fire them.

    Approach intercom

    Long sigh from them through intercom

    Silence

    Me: hello?

    Them: yeah?

    Me: oh hey, can I get a crunch wrap supreme and add creamy jalapeno sauce?

    Them: I guess?

    Me: …okay. can I also get a chicken quesadilla?

    Them: I don’t care. Adds order to screen

    Me: haha great. I’ll get a small root beer and that’s it.

    Them: fine.

    I still recount the exchange to this day. 10/10 would return.

    Do more than expected and get promoted. Get more money. Jump to another job and get more money. Rinse and repeat.

      This is not how jobs work. It never has been.

      Do more than expected, and that becomes your new expected output. Get the same money, over years, which doesn’t keep up with CoL and translates to a pay reduction. Jump to another job, maybe, if you can manage to do so after exhaustion from working “more than expected” and then going home to take care of life responsibility.

        Yes, especially corporate America. The only raises you get are from job hopping every 1-2 years, which is ridiculous.

      We’re not in the 20th century anymore. Shit doesn’t work that way for the vast majority, and even back then it only reliably worked that way if you were a white man.
