Wages have stagnated for everyone for too long due to GOP greed.

It’s not just wages. It’s that the expectations that any inconvenience to profits should be borne by the employee. It’s especially true in the restaurant industry but exists across all industries. Many service-oriented companies make it real difficult to actually plan a life by having inconsistent schedules changing on a weekly basis and will send you home if business is slow but expect you to immediately accommodate them if an unexpected need arises. It happens in a myriad other ways too - can’t take a vacation because this arbitrary deadline is important and you don’t want to disappoint your “team”; the email sent at 5:05pm Friday labeled “!” must be resolved before work starts on Monday because that’s what everyone else on your team does; and on and on and on.
