At first, I made $18.50 an hour — a little less than what I earned as a teacher.

So you agree the headline is a lie because she was not making 50% more by switching to work at Costco but by finding a job with vertical promotion possibilities and getting a corporate job using her degree which few would be able to follow in her footsteps cause their is limited positions.

She took a pay cut to work on her feet all day.

This is a recruiter article bragging about how much better it is to work for Costco and they try to make the pay cut seem like not a big deal when there is vastly different perks and benefits.

At 60 hours a week she was making 15.06/hr as a teacher. Base pay at 18.50 is a raise.

Work Reform

Create post

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

  • All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
  • Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
  • Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
  • We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

  • Higher wages for underpaid workers.
  • Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
  • Better and fewer working hours.
  • Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
  • Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
