I believe in a livable wage for everyone. It baffles me business owners argue with me, and I’ve had many do so, that paying their staff a higher wage will destroy their business. They are always white dudes who fancy themselves clever businessmen.

Until I hit them with, “wait, are you saying you didn’t budget for employee wages that afford them the basics of life? Surely you budgeted for that, right, Jimothy? I thought you understood business?”

It’s a blow to the fragile biz man fee fees.

I co-own a small accounting and payroll firm and we helped a LOT of clients get covid-relief money from the U.S. government, which was SUPPOSED to go to paying employees and increasing their wages because of covid lockdowns, supply chain backlog increasing inflation, etc.

Very few did. What the owners of the businesses we helped did do was increase their own salary and wages.

It was disgusting. And I’m sure it happened all over the country.

@aBirdieOnaWire shit like this is so common it doesn’t even shock me anymore. My husband and I run http://www.Porthosmedia.net and we often sit around fantasizing about having employees and profit-sharing with them, unlimited vacation time, etc.
