Law makers just passed the $15 minimum wage act to go into effect by 2022. Great job geniuses!!
Look on the bright side, you won't have to repeat your order five times just to get a burger and fries.
Touch screen all the way.:thumbup:
Yep, been irreversible fucked for years already. All its going to do is kill more jobs and pave the way for more automation. The only people it will really hurt are those working at minimum wage.
Time to give myself a raise
This is really going to screw kids.
The part timer or college students looking for entry level or fill in work while in school or finishing school.
Who's going to hire someone with zero experience for $15.00 an hour when you can have your choice of experienced workers?
Restaurants, car washes, small businesses. Prices for everything will have to go up.... making things less affordable for those at the bottom.
it's that way now Joe, to be salary you must make at least double minimum wage or receive overtime.. the state Dept of Finance estimated this week the increase will cost taxpayers $3.6 billion more per year JUST in pay increases of government employees..Right there is the kicker...
The way I read it, it says only FULL TIME employees are subject to the raise. All that is gonna happen is there will be no more full time employes anymore! Everyone will be part time. No insurance. No benefits. You'll have to actually have to EARN a full time position pretty soon.
The people that put this into place are just dumb.
So the people making $15/hr now...do you think any of them are not going to kicking and screaming for a raise. I busted my ass started at the bottom at $7/hr if they get $15 with no experience I deserve way more...I can hear that playing out over and over...FUCK CA!

everyone is thinking fast food but the real pain comes when small businesses can't afford to keep salaried employees and everyone goes to hourly part time, no benefits...
they are moving a sweat shop across the street from my shop in vegas...supposed to have 300 sewing machines, and run 24 hrs....
guess the garmet district is gonna get hit hard...
calf. has so many people that don't give back to the state..and get money for doing nothing...
that ship is sunk now... the state keeps figuring out how to get deeper in the pockets of those that do work and pay taxes...so most are pulling out of there...

Do something better than min wage....I don't think I ever had a job that I got paid min wage.

This is going to kill me as a manager who has min wage workers for me, we dont have the budget for this. I wont get the same increase either. Now what is going to happen i I have to let go several people to keep cost down while giving the work I let go to the people I kept.
You are going to make them all part time. Then explain to them exactly WHY it needs to be done! If they are minimum wage workers, they probably voted for fucktard moonbeam, thinking he was going to help them out. oint
I haven't worked for minimum wages since I was 18 maybe? Who does that anyway? Make yourself valuable, and move up. :thumbup:

They will be complaining next that you need to cut their hours so they can still get their welfareYou are going to make them all part time. Then explain to them exactly WHY it needs to be done!

Looks like I'm raising my labor rates
Time to give myself a raise
Ahh yes.... there is the ignorant pro-union statement that had to come out. Cause all open shop trades hire unskilled workers that have no idea what they are doing.Sounds to me like the scab unskilled contractors will now need to compete for work against real tradesmen. With housing and gas in California how can you even exist for under 20
Even more motivation for customers to use the low price hack wannabe contractors, instead of using those of us that jump through all the hoops. So yes, it is bad, for us.Exactly. Everyone's wages will go up, cost of doing business will rise, rates go up, burger prices go up. It's all relative. It's not good nor bad, just higher numbers across the board.
This will work just as the Gov hopes it will. More min wage jobs will be cut and push more people onto the Gov tit. Then the Gov has them right where they want them, sitting on there ass dependent on the Gov, voting themselves more free shit! Its all about controlling the votes of the min wage earner and has nothing to do with helping them climb the ladder.
I still don't see an issue... Wages have not gone up with inflation. There were some studies done on the impact it would have on fast food joints it was very minimal. So far Seattle seems to have had luck with it. We are talking by 2022. I'd be curious to know how inflation is going to look in 6-7 years.
Workers comp rates in Ca are almost double to that in Seattle which means as an employer you will be getting hit hard on that end too since you pay per 100.00 earned by the employee.
Everyone who has no problem with this has never signed the front side of a paycheck and in turn has never had to turn a profit to survive.
A full time job paying $15 per hour is $31,200 per annum. I wonder how many people will no longer qualify for state government assistance, healthcare or food stamps, or whatever when they are making this wage?
I've always thought the $15 minimum wage push was so the government could kick people off its tit.
