I wouldn't want to work there even if what this fake ass post says is true. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Psythik@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (3 children) Also $17/hr is shit pay. You can't even rent an apartment at $17/hr. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] thebigslime@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) Depends on your area. Edit: working a full 40hr/wk at $17/hr can afford rent up to ~$880/mo. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago $880 is how much people pay for a bedroom in someones else's house in my city. *This is mostly because the zoning laws require all new apartment complexes to have one parking space per tenant which means land owners who want to develop their land to provide more density have to put in an underground parking garage on their lot which would make recouping the cost of development pretty much impossible (there's no room for surface lots). My city is almost entirely zoned this way which creates situations where the university is fully surrounded by single family homes that are "renovated" to provide jury rigged density. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Thats something like 50 percent of your pay in my area. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] thebigslime@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) $17/hr can afford ~$880/mo. rent.

When I was in middle school, delivering newspapers, I didn't make enough to rent an apartment either. In college, I had roommates because none of us earned enough to rent a place by ourselves. So climb off your arrogant and ignorant high-horse. Also, for the lazy ass dude who started this, work hard and don't be a leach. If you think you can do better than where you are now, move on to that place and stop gaslighting everyone. permalink fedilink source parent
