‘I doubled my income leaving’: Guy calls out his ex-employer for offering poverty wages to new hires after complaining that ‘nobody wants to work anymore’

It's no secret that minimum wage has been nearly the same for decades, except all of our expenses are getting exponentially higher. Back in the 80's a mom could buy a haul of groceries to feed a family of 4 for a week for $20 and now, couples with only a cat to care for are spending 10x that amount just for basics at Trader Joe's. Hmm… Where did we go wrong here? 

As we all attempt our own ascent up the ladder of success, I can't help but wonder how much easier it would be for us folks down here on the bottom rungs if we could pay our bills with just one job. Imagine! Well, one curious worker who had successfully grown his career over the last decade recently went viral after calling out his ex-employer. Being bitten by the curiosity bug, OP investigated his first employer's desperate job listings and found the salary to be pathetically low. 

Scroll for all the details of this debaucherous tale where the little guy slays Goliath by pointing out the obvious.
