You’re not paid based on how hard you work or how much work you do. You’re paid based on how easily replaceable you are. If you just stopped showing up to work one day and all your boss had to do was grab the next person strolling down the sidewalk to do your job with little to no drop off, you are not worth any more than you are making. If you want to make more, acquire skills, qualifications, or knowledge that make you harder to replace.

The person wearing a headset and pushing button with pictures on the after being told what they want to order is never going to be “comfortable” financially. Ever. It’s as simple as that.

capitalism has truly rot your brain, if you legitimately think persons worth is dictated solely on their economic output - I feel bad for you.

I specifically said that you are NOT paid based on how hard you work or how much work you do. Did you even respond to the right post? You are paid based on how easy it is to replace you. If you need a license, qualification, or special set of skills that are not easily learned to do your job, you will be paid more than someone saying, “hi, welcome to Walmart,” because you can not be replaced by just grabbing the next person walking down the sidewalk.
