Close but not quite
But for real, what a terrible way to make a wage. You’re not learning any type of real transferable skill unless you’re planning on stagnating as a cashier or line cook.

I’m actually offering 25% over what others in my industry pay.
Totally agree. We would teach candidacies to run Holzma beam saws, paid training.
Bump fellas. Still looking.

People who say that type of stuff any time somebody posts some type of trade job don't understand other factors that go in to a good trade job at a good company. #1, BK and places like that likely aren't giving you 40 hours per week because they don't want to have to give you benefits. They will purposely give you less hours. So you're getting less pay, and no benefits. Not to mention you aren't learning a skill that can take you far in life or make a career out of.
You factor in the pay, cost of benefits, 401k matching, etc and it's a lot better than burger king no matter how you look at it. Who the hell wants to work at burger king anyways.

Corporate America calls it a "Total Compensation Package". They'll give you your up to date copy each year which shows you how much of your benefits they pay on your behalf, this way you should feel grateful when you get to the bottom of the page and see the 2.5% to 3% raise you just got for doing your part to help the company hit their forecasts and EBIT. Meanwhile the CEO at corporate gets a huge bonus which includes stocks and a large cash payment. On top of his already exuberant annual salary. Granted he or she has no life and they a re on the clock 24/7, no joke, but the disparity in wages and benefits is akin to a joke at times.bUrGeR kInG pAyS bEtTeR

When a person is living week to week due to the cost of living and low wages. they could care less about benefits.

Learn a trade and you will always be employed.
My company pays 100% of the employees health insurance. Also matches 50% 401k immediately, and goes up from there based on tenure. That's a bit more than 2.5-3%. EDIT: Just checked my Total Compensation Package statement and it's 23.52%.
Yeah sure we all know CEOs make the big bucks, but they're in charge of making the company profitable for the shareholders as well as all the decisions that keep them in business. That's why they get paid what they do, and get axed when they don't. No different than why Kirby Smart and Nick Saban make so much money, it's because of the amount of money they make for the school when they win games and championships.
People on low wages absolutely rely on and care about benefits. How else could they afford going to the Dr or getting an eye exam, or getting a tooth taken care of?
Also, your 2.5%-3% number is quite a bit off, from the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
Total employer compensation costs for private industry workers averaged $40.79 per hour worked in March 2023. Wages and salaries averaged $28.76 per hour worked and accounted for 70.5 percent of employer costs, while benefit costs averaged $12.02 per hour worked and accounted for the remaining 29.5 percent
If I were a little younger I'd love to start over
Go to work , flip burgers, go home eat mama’s cooking, play Xbox , sleep.
wash, rinse, repeat.
Get older, get locked up, live off the gov…take taxpayers hard career earned money…..
