To Put It In Perspective...


A colleague and I were discussing wages after work- my colleague whined about having her $20/hr casual rate cut down to $15 part-time, and I countered that I first got $9.65 when I started- and then my boss simply said, "Please don't complain about wages- when I worked at Hungry Jack's, I got $5.50 an hour."

That shut us up good.

So there you go. Not a peep of whinginess from now on- at least until I forget all about that anecdote.

i think they still pay that to kids now. Actually under the new IR laws or whatever, the minimum pay for 15 year olds is $4.70, 70 cents less than before. !!! Soooo DODGY.
