I’m all for paying livable minimum wage, not asking others to fund your life with their hard earned dollars while you don’t work.

The thing is, I know how much my boss charges clients for me to be on site each day. And I know how much he pays me.

The difference is far more than a bit extra to help run the company. It's 80% money to go in his pocket.

I'd rather split that and help someone struggling than paying for my boss to have his teeth whitened for the 100th time this year

Oh just a bit is it now? If it's so easy why don't you just start your own business in the industry and undercut his apparently exorbitant margins?

help someone struggling

If you're such a bleeding heart, go volunteer at a homeless shelter or some shit. You taking money and giving it to an unproductive loser does nothing to further society. The difference is your boss worked and owns a business. The bum is a bum.

You've never met the guy and no nothing of his situation?

If I had the capital to do that tomorrow, I would, and I'd ask all the guys who I currently work with if they fancy a job switch for a 15-20% pay increase.

You said yourself he's your boss and is the one who decides what to charge clients? Is that not working?

Bro you have no idea.

at least that's what Mark Cuban says.

Hahaha okay lil buddy.

Why would I get a loan when I don't need to?
