    I really don’t like all these “MAN THE JOB MARKET IS SHIT” articles coming out right when I really want to be like “Hey boss I think you should pay me at least $4/hr more because that’s the value of the fucking food I was taking home that you’ve imperiously decided for everyone must be thrown away instead like you’re the Grapes of Fucking Wrath incarnate, plus even without that I’m already underpaid because I do a lot of serious creative work and effort intensive techniques with the food I make that I KNOW you weren’t getting from previous vegan chefs BECAUSE MY PREDECESSOR TELLS ME “yeah I didn’t do that I wasn’t paid enough, I told them fuck that I’m not paid enough” like working on the menu, all of which I do because I actually enjoy the work”

        Depends on your boss. There’s three types (unequally distributed): 1. “I’m already paying you as much as the overlords will let me but let me relay your message just in case.” 2. “Oh for sure I was knowingly underpaying you because you never said anything.” 3. “fuck you, take what you get or leave.”
