Admit it, hourly pay sucks

I've met ppl who have worked 5+/10+ years for home depot in one case 20 years, No homeownership, no savings.

Working the same job for 4 years and only getting $25cents?! Being at homedepot for 10 years to make $22? As a manager?

On the other hand, I met one woman who had 20+ years she bought stock in home depot early when she first started but that's like a rarity and she some sorts of manager.
