Both work 48 hour weeks, who takes care of the baby? Who is going to give them the overtime.

His premise falls apart on its own

Actually, he does explain it in the replies.

After a year of this, the wife has a baby and works just 20 hrs a week, still at $15/hr. The husband has been promoted to store manager or higher (convenience and fast-food store chains are desperate for workers they can promote) and makes $25/hr

It's so simple! ๐Ÿ™„jagoff

I work in a factory so maybe it's different for grocery stores, but, my team lead makes $2/hr more than me. That seems more likely after one fucking year - except I think getting there took him three lol

When I worked construction with my brother in law, he was making about $2 more an hour than me, despite being in construction for his entire adult life. He was basically a foreman and I had started that summer. This was over 15 years ago, but still that's not a justifiable difference with his experience and responsibilities.

Who the fuck is getting a $10/hour pay bump as a manager?
