    You’d think these complainers would realize it’s great when other jobs get a massive raise… because those engineers can now say “Why should I work here and deal with your nonsense when UPS drivers are making near 100K in low cost of living income areas?”

    Like, please please please let the cashiers at walmart start making 30 dollars an hour so I can tell my boss that I need a raise or I’m dipping to walmart.
