    Amazing how the one company that was a joke in the movie Idiocracy is actually the one company saving us from a complete fascist takeover.

    I saw Costco raise membership fees, reduce people entering without a membership, and wondered if it was just profiteering without improving pricing. While their max profit is set to 14% which at least seems better than the price gouging under the label of inflation, I hope this is part of that improvements for society. It may not calculate out properly, but hopefully it does. For a lot of people, the 🌭 and 🍕 is also a great help too. They also stood up for DEIA and humanity, avoiding the falsehoods of fascism and scapegoating of the people systemically vulnerable and a real path to equity for all.

      You’re so severely underpaid that it’s genuinely concerning. Who do you work for?

          My best recommendation is to look for a new job after 2 years. You will have good experience after that. You will have proven you can make it if you last two years. Other companies like that. So start looking around after 2 years. When I did, I doubled my salary.

          At two years experience, start job hunting. Your pay bump from leaving will be better than anything you make by staying.

      I made scraps for a couple years when I first started in the industry but landed a pretty sweet job on a whim. I say keep an eye out and be sure to have a decent portfolio (though admittedly mine was nowhere near perfect)!

        I’m not worried haha, I’ve just this month completed my first year of experience at the company I work at. But I have to say I’m so envious of US salaries

          They can start that low as well (or not that higher). The only advice for you is to not trust any promises of raises in your current company. It is always easier to get a higher raise by jumping ship.

        He’s gotta be either entry level or part time… Or getting really ripped off
