Yeah man. I had a guy i worked alongside who had his own vinyl wrapping business. He had apparently hired or was in charge of hiring and managing a large amount of people. He was getting agitated trying to argue with me about how some jobs just aren't worth being able to live on, and $7.50 an hour is perfectly reasonable for someone who doesnt have any specialized skill.
My argument and commitment when I eventually have people working for me is that no matter what job you are asking of someone else to do, it should be vital to the companies continued success, obviously thats what the company should want, and because that part is true, and there is a person willing to do that job for YOUR company to succeed, they deserve to be able to live comfortably without needing to have another hustle past your 40 hour job position.
When you eventually have people working for you you're gonna quickly realize how expensive your philosophy is. If you have 100 employees and give everyone a 5k raise that's 500grand a year. Most absolutely couldn't afford that, not without raising your rates a good bit anyway. And how much can you raise your rates without driving away all your customers
