'No one wants to work for $10 an hour': Out-of-touch boss refuses to pay new hires more than $10/hr, throws a fit when nobody responds to their job listings

Remember your first job?

You were probably washing dishes in the back of some family-run restaurant, pulling weeds for your dad, or maybe you had a paper route with the other local kids. Odds are, you probably made a little extra money and as a teenager, having a little extra butter in your spinach meant that you could finally buy that new skateboard you wanted! Or if you saved, maybe you could even earn enough to buy a cheapy beater car with no muffler and questionable brake pads. Your first job opened so many new doors financially, there was probably a brief moment of excitement for the adult years to come.

Even though you didn't make that much money, you felt like a king–and soon you'd be a millionaire, right? But truthfully, the excitement of your first paycheck wears off pretty quickly…

With your first job, you never make much money, but in 2024, if your employer offers to pay you $10 an hour, is it even worth it to clock in? I know we've had the same federal minimum wage for a couple of decades, but there are few instances where minimum wage jobs can actually afford you to live any sort of normal life. Most employers realize that $10 is frankly insufficient to offer their employees, but according to the recruiter in this next story, their out-of-touch boss insisted that $10 was more than enough to fill a position.
