  • I worked at a grocery store in 2003 in California for a short time. I joined just after a major strike had ended. As always, the company was pushing for lower wages and benefits, the union wanted higher. They came to an agreement with a two tiered system, tenured employees got to stick with a pay scale and benefits slightly better than what they’d had before.

    New employees got fucked.

    A couple months in I was promoted to cashier from bagger and got to see the two tiers. I was starting at $18 per hour, the original tier started at more than double that and went up pretty high.

    Not really related to your comment, but I’m a little drunk after a rough day and seeing those amounts just really fucking pisses me off. My numbers are not adjusted for inflation and wages have gone down for the job I did in the last 20 years. It’s fucking maddening.



  • I never even received an email. I haven’t touched Minecraft in years, probably never would have again, but my daughter is getting into it and I thought it would be fun to play with her. I found out about the migration when trying to troubleshoot why I couldn’t log in.

    I tried to contact support and they told me that they had “widely communicated the migration through email and social media” and that because I had missed the migration window, I would simply have to buy a new copy. I double and triple checked. No emails regarding the migration and I’m not on social media.
