It's quite weird seeing people talk like this here. Most of the users here, who probably work at IT companies and startups that never made money until now, never will make money, or needed to burn 10 years through investors money, that are basically the pensions of the people you mock here, come and talk about adjust or die and time to find something different to work on, if you're not profitable.

>>Most of the users here, who probably work at IT companies and startups that never made money until now, never will make money, or needed to burn 10 years through investors money, that are basically the pensions of the people you mock here. Umm, no - I'd sincerely doubt that "most of the users" here are working at IT companies and startups that never made money until <insert random date>. Even if they did, they certainly were being compensated well for the work. Are you aware that we are discussing a POSSIBLE living wage of roughly 15 USD/h, which is still ridiculously low, but at least a laudable goal, while you are selling me laments about the VCs and owners not making it in what is an incomparable industry to hospitality (60% of restaurants fail in the first year - she's still profitable throughout her multiple restaurants even in the middle of a pandemic and has the temerity to complain about paying her workers living wages... done here) My argument is not about IT companiesand VC-funded startups, but about the restaurant business in a mid-pandemic economy and the lack of perspective the owner of said restaurant displays regarding her worker's wages. If she is willing to treat them as merely expenses to be eliminated and not as partners in a struggling business reaching success, then again, she should not be running a restaurant. Food is essential - restaurants are not (to quote someone else somewhere up/downthread).
