I was at Target today and someone came up to me in the parking lot asking me to sign a petition to raise minimum wage from $15/hr to $22 ... for Fast Food workers 😒🙄🤦♀️ I was soo confused/annoyed that this was even a thing. I've never worked in Fast Food, nor do I have a degree, but I know I've never made that much!
The only reason I'm even comfortable talking about that now, is because I know my worth & I know that I don't want to be stuck in a "9-5 Job" working for someone else at the same pay (with 50 cent raises) for the rest of my life. I started this new business so that I can have financial freedom & spend more time actually living... Yes, I'm grateful for my current job that is helping pay the bills & supporting my business but I hope I won't ever have to beg people on the street to sign a petition to help raise the dollar amount I earn. That just sounds "too easy" & ridiculously unfair to the people who are actually working their butts off
