> [@Sight N Sound](#): > > I agree but the biggest problem is, the price of everything is going up except what companies pay their employees which is bullshit. More and more you see companies wanting to pay less and put a bigger work load on the person so they can enjoy their 6 figure incomes as a cock sucking managment person… then become a manager. I think it’s BS also, but that’s why I am going back to school to get my degree ao I can be one of those cock sucking manager types making a boat load of money. If you can’t beat em, join em, 🙂 ---

> [@fshowcars](#): > > i thought mostly all companies give annual wage increases? Yeah a 3% increase is a fucking insult… We have doubled in size in the past 5 years (about to triple by the end of the year) and we’re still getting paid the same and they arn’t putting more people on. Do the math. Th sad this is our manager know somthing needs to be done for us, but its trying to explain it to and getting it through the board which is bullshit. ---

> [@Sight N Sound](#): > > Yeah a 3% increase is a fucking insult… If you made $30k/year, a 3% increase would be $900. $900 is better than nothing. “fucking insult”? fucking ingrate. People whose lives revolve around driving (delivery drivers, trucker owner/operators, couriers, jittney drivers) for the most part are making the same money they made five year ago, but paying TWICE as much for fuel. I spend around $500-600 a month on fuel. That’s $3000-3600 DECREASE in annual income since gas was $1.30. Thankfully it’s just disposible income to me; some people have to live on that money, and they’re getting assfucked over it. ---

> [@Sight N Sound](#): > > again duke of metros, you have no room to talk. i never called any of my Metros racecars OR showcars… they were practical daily drivers. You took a Cavalier (a fairly average compact car, well suited as a daily driver), and treated it like it was a real car, and got pissy when people pointed out it was just a Cavalier with a bunch of useless shit on it. I never cared what people said about my cars because I’m comfortable with the fact that I like little shitboxes. I have 130hp and a stick shift too…does that mean I have a potential showcar? 🤣 ---
