Current Events > How hard would you work for a minimum wage job with no benefits?

(+) Yeah! (+)

nobody seemed to work hard when I was still the lead at subway

Minimum wage gets you the same amount of work ethic, minimum.

I would not. At this stage in my life I'd sooner volunteer than take a minimum wage job.

i got lion king'd, i'm not good at work

Minimally.

In my ignorant youth I'd go above and beyond to prove myself.

In my informed age I would only do enough to not get reprimanded.

Do you have a minute to talk about the career advancement opportunities that McDonalds offers

They're lucky if I show up on time.

If you pay peanuts.... you get monkeys.

it depends if I like my co-workers and employer. If they are nice to me, I'll work for them. If they don't value me, then I won't work

you can make it to management

Too hard.

Baked. All the time

I would t bother working hard at all. Minimum wage in my current state is pitifully low.

Not very hard by default, but that could fluctuate. For example, if I liked my managers, customers, and coworkers, then I might work harder. As in, I would put in more effort when I was there and try to have a better attitude. I still wouldnt take opening/closing shifts or answer the phone on my day off. If I thought the environment was toxic, I would not work hard or I would quit.

I'm in TX and it's $7.25 only because the federal govt makes it be so. They'd gladly make it 0 if they could.

I've got enough money that I could never work again and be fine...so not very hard

I always act my wage.

Id do my best to be the walking embodiment of the Lazy Millenial/Gen Z stereotype old and rich people like to whine about.

Unless you're thinking "this is going to be the job I'll be doing for the rest of my life at this exact store for these same people"... going "beyond" could open doors (someone notices you, get recommended, use as reference if nothing else, etc etc).

Legit curious if that's really the minimum at the market.
I'm seeing $15~20 for fast food service job ads, and I'm pretty sure those jobs are paid the "minimum wage" (or whatever the market allows them to pay the least of all workers).
