Fair point.
Just to drive home my point, I'll lay it out for you.
My normal salary was minimum wage. $7.25 per hour.
But, if I met my goals, my bonuses for completing projects hiked me up to a good $50 - $100 per hour.
So, I was HIGHLY MOTIVATED to work. You would NEVER hear me complain about doing my job.
But, as soon as I had to explain to the intern how spreadsheets work, well, that's me making $7.25 an hour.
Easy excuse then.
"Look, if I explain this to you I'm making $7.25/hour, if I ignore you I'm going to make $50/hour. Good luck with that power button."
Yeah, that's shitty leadership though.
Sometimes you just have to man up and act like a white person and help your neighbor.
I'm mostly saying how it is for the people who say "Quit your whining, you're getting paid to do nothing", be cause yeah, they don't fucking know the economics of the situation.
I'll do it because I'm white. But I'm sure as fuck not going to be talked down to for being generous with my valuable time.
Thank you for explaining, I didn't know the payrates differed based on the work. I can see your frustration now.
