>Icebreaker: I have nothing today.

How about "how much would you have to be paid to do your current job, but in a wagecage?"

Personally I'd need at least another $20k/year.

For the sake of argument let's say there are timelocks on the cage for 30 minutes of lunch and 15 minutes of other break time to use as you see fit.

So who counts as wagies? Do salaried workers count? If so, is there a cutoff for how much you make?

Or does anyone who gets up in the morning to work automatically a wagie?

>> No.11049665

>>11049633
Even CEOs are wagies. Perhaps the ultimate wagies.

Shareholders and the board boss them around, they have to put in absurd hours, and many stick around earning their multimillion dollar salary because they don't see themselves as having made it ("and there's only so much golf you can do if you retire!").

To say I'm mad is an understatement. I'm looking for other work but due to health reasons I won't be able to interview for like 2 weeks.

Thanks man. I think they're actively trying to automate my job which is a reason they aren't perm hiring me. Honestly I hate the entire field and want to switch to something else (analytics, I'm in accounting now.) Hopefully I can make a successful switch. I could get another job just like this one easily enough, but the pay wouldn't increase and the work would be just as mind numbing so what's the use of it. I'm not totally fucked, at least. As long as my health issues resolve.
