#or they'll think someone realizing that their actions are bad and taking efforts to actually change or fix it

[pure-garbage]

Not-So-Quick Thought Dump

I'm currently working on a handful of chapters that are actually incredibly important to me. I've been a victim of domestic abuse in the past, so it's an unbelievably difficult topic for me to write about. As much as writing can provide therapy and catharsis, I'm still only human and I get triggered sometimes trying to work through trauma I've personally experienced. I'm sure I'll end up hiding all the pain under a few layers of comedy, which is also fine. That's valid as an art form(I think).

That being said, I'm very pleased with the way I present the situation playing out roughly through chapters 123, likely to around 127. Character aspects like the ones explored here are a huge part of the reason I love the straw hat women so much, especially Robin(Lots of love for Nami too, but she is significantly younger and I head canon her as less experienced/wise).

Robin is the friend I always wanted but never had when I was dealing with my own struggles. She's centered, she's grounding, she's practical, and she can be amazingly fierce when it come to protecting/advocating for the people she cares about.

Going through my own experiences, I never had anyone who told me what I was going through was not okay. It can be incredibly confusing to be victimized by someone you have strong feelings for, whether that's romantic or familial. One of the hardest things in the world to realize is that two things can be true simultaneously: you can love someone and still not be okay with the way they treat you. You can create boundaries, have tough discussions and try to change behaviors. If change isn't possible, it becomes necessary to walk away, which is a separate challenge in and of itself.

Also the concept that someone can hurt you without meaning to and that's still not acceptable. It's easy to make excuses for the people who hurt us instead of holding them to account. Justifying the actions of someone you love is a hell of a lot easier than communicating with them. It's a lot easier than telling them you aren't okay with what they did. It's a lot easier than asking them not to do it again. Especially if they don't realize or don't want to admit that they hurt you. Maybe they were just playing. Maybe they thought you could handle it. If you're tempted to make excuses for them, you'd better believe that if you try to have a conversation about what happened, they'll likely make excuses for themselves.

This point cuts extra deep, at least for me, because it goes both ways. We can hurt the people around us without that being our intention. Hurting someone doesn't automatically make you the bad guy. Every fight in a relationship doesn't necessarily have a 'right' or 'wrong' side. It's fine to have a little self-forgiveness, but it has to be paired with caution. Don't make excuses for yourself instead of taking responsibility. The only thing you can really do to wrong another person is violate the boundaries they set knowing that you're doing so.

Whatever happened, even if it was a little thing, a petty thing, a 'stupid' thing: if you didn't like it, that's enough reason for it to never happen again. That's called setting a boundary and anyone who cares about you will respect the lines you draw in the sand and go out of their way not to cross those lines again. Which probably sounds super basic, like it should 'go without saying', but some of us were raised in dysfunctional households. For us, this really basic knowledge is a completely alien concept that we learn about later on. It's a life-changing epiphany if you're lucky enough to realize it consciously.

So if there's one lesson I can impart with this little arc, I hope that it is this: love and respect go hand in hand and they have to be mutual. Put the work in, be considerate, but don't forget to demand the same effort and consideration in return.

And walking away from a bad situation never makes you a bad person.

[book51ut]

i often have put so much effort in my relationships to turn real assholes into good human beings. and when those relationships start to sour because i am too loud and i complain too much and i refuse to be walked over and my mouth is better when its shut, i cling on and stick it out. and that's really ego on my part. i get so worked up at the idea that i let someone treat me horribly and abuse me while ive put so much effort into pointing out their behavior and making them think about their actions. i think "if i leave them now, one day they'll get better and i won't be around for it. someone else will. and someone else will reap the seeds that i sowed" and it makes me mad. it frustrates me to no end. it feels unfair and unjust. not only that some imaginary person might receive the idea of the person that i left, but that i don't. it feel like a loss, like a sisyphean task that is just my lot in life. but i really need to decenter that. i really need to look in the mirror. there's no winning or losing in my life. its my life. i need to care for myself the best that I can, and that involves shedding my stubborn and headstrong desire to force assholes into becoming princes. and really, a bad attitude on my part. why shouldn't i be happy with someone else's happiness in the future. and i want to be, but it feels bittersweet almost. i deserve to be treated well now, and i have no responsibility to try to challenge someone for the chance that they might be better 15 years down the line.

i think i get stuck on the idea that i know that relationships that last take work, and i want to build something lasting so im willing to do the work. it frustrates me that others arent. it makes me so fucking mad. and in my soul i feel RIGHT. and righteous. and so im willing to "work" with people who are not willing to work with me. and by the time i realize that, I've done so much that i feel jealous of this fictional future woman who might encounter this person.

and these are not qualities of myself that I am proud of. they are things i want to work on. but i've also been really into jungian analysis of late and i know that these elements of my shadow are a part of me. I am stubborn. I am headstong. I am obsessive. I am jealous. I am angry. I am unable to let go. And I'm so interested in how I can hold these qualities to be true and also try to handle them better. Like does mere awareness allow me to see them more objectively, as irrational. I don't want to have these qualities, but everyone does to some extent. I guess I just want to be able to control them better, not let them lash out and ruin my life. But suppression is what results in these circular ways of thinking. IDK im so interested in how I can sufficiently integrate these qualities into my being in a healthy way.

Because if there's one thing I fucking hate, its when people go to therapy and learn therapy speak and don't ACTUALLY do the work associated with it. they journal and go "hehe im so introspective" and stop there. they justify their every toxic behavior and harm with their mental diagnoses and trauma. i hate that shit, and i don't want to fall into that trap.

Present day; 21/06/24 | Present time; 8:48pm ... but whose counting, anyways?

The solstice and connection (again)

I started this post last night, but felt really bad and went to bed. Either way.

I missed the solstice. Had a three hour nap from 5-8pm, had some dinner and tried to start this post, then went back to bed at 9pm. Slept nearly 13 hours. Weird for me, considering my usual sleeping habits. I'm not fussed though, just hoping it doesn't happen again. It'd be a lame summer if it did.

That aside, I was thinking more about the type of connection I crave with someone. I feel like I never really grew out of my "wanting to be saved" phase. I feel like I'll always be that kid, waiting for some knight in shining armor to swoop in and carry me far away, take care of me, love me unconditionally even when I can't do that same to them. I want to be around someone so much and have it feel so natural I won't even realize I've fallen for them. I know thats unhealthy, I know human connection requires two people to put in the effort. I think a lot of it is just wanting someone to love me unconditionally, and to see all the bad parts of me and still choose me again and again until i finally feel safe enough to choose them back. I'm working on it

I have great connections with people now, I have amazing friends, but I'm always worried one day they'll choose someone better over me, or that I'll say the wrong thing and become irredeemable. I always feel like I'm loved on the condition I behave exactly how people want, and I've never really been able to shut that feeling down, so I always just mimic them and mirror their own behaviors, I find out what they want, and what they need out of the relationship and give it to them at risk of my own mental and physical health just so that maybe I'll be likeable a little longer this time. Then, when they ask me out, or confess their love for me, I realize it'll never work out, and I cut them off. I know that I wouldn't be able to keep up that behavior, I wouldn't be able to keep being who they wanted me to be the entire time, so I make sure to not give myself the opportunity.

Now, this could all be avoided if I just was who I am from the beginning, so they'd never form these false relationships with a fake person, but I find that so hard to do. I don't know how to unmask that well, and sometimes it seems to take more effort than actually masking does, so I just don't. I do have friends I can unmask completely around, but its always been after masking for months or years. Its like a cycle. I'll mask around them for ages at a time, they'll form feelings that aren't truly reciprocated because I'm not truly who I say I am, we'll take a break for some months, and then we'll reconnect and I'll be able to unmask around them. But those friends are few and far between, and while I value them so much, I wish I didn't have to go through that process every time I meet someone new. They aren't always guaranteed to want me back after everything I put them through. I want someone who'll let me mask or unmask and love me unconditionally regardless. And who won't care if I need space for a few months, or if I'm uncomfortable expressing emotions. I want someone who'll protect me from everything thats ever hurt me, past and present. But that person just doesn't really seem to exist these days, and every time I think I've found that person, they always just seem to take advantage of me, and part of that feels like my fault.

I think I'm truly doomed when it comes to connection with others. I try to connect, I share my day, my history, my likes and dislikes, and hope for the same from others, but in the end all I get back is dry interactions or ghosted. I try to not connect, not be too clingy and be more clinical about my actions, don't let myself try to connect right away so I don't freak the other person out, but that seems to make me seem like some robotic monster. There just seems to be no winning. All the connections I have currently feel so precariously balanced, I feel like I can't truly truly be myself around them, or they'll get weirded out by how much I am. I don't know what it is about me, I just always seem to be too much much for everyone except a few select people, and even then I'm sure if I showed them how much I can actually be they'd leave all the same.

I don't even think I'm particularly weird. I don't have any wildly weird interests or hobbies or takes. I think I exist on the same baseline as everyone else. But there just seems to be something about me that people either find massively dislikeable or easy to take advantage of, so either way I end up getting hurt.

I feel like I've come to care less about that these days though. I don't really care when I get hurt anymore, I anticipate it from most things, so I only really care momentarily when it happens, even though I know it does more damage in the long run. I also seem to care a lot less when I'm alone these days. As a kid, it really hurt me how alone I was. I would cry and cry and cry about it. About how much other people seemed to want to hurt me or blamed every bad thing in their life on me. I feel like that's universal when growing up autistic, though, so I've learned to ignore that even though it still happens. I can go a long time without seeing people now, even my own family. Consciously, I don't mind just holing up in my room for days or weeks on end, I don't mind the solitude and the lack of communication, I find things to occupy my time. Subconsciously, though, I think theres an issue. I can tell myself I'm fine on my own and distract myself until my brain is fried, but the minute I get a moment to actually think or let my brain rest, I'm hit with how hard I want this genuine connection with someone.

I want someone who knows my past and experiences my present and wants to be a part of my future.

But I know none of thats guaranteed for me, especially not with the way I've grown up. My therapist and I discussed BPD a few times, if I remember right. It explains a lot of my outbursts and my emotions around abandonment and a lot of the trauma reactions I seem to have. I don't know though, I tell others I have it because it makes the most sense given my behaviour. I worry most about not being able to put a label on it though. Like, what if theres just something really fucked up about me but theres no diagnosis that can explain it, I'm a totally normal person whose just a piece of shit?

Whatever though, I could cry or cut myself about it but I honestly cannot be assed enough to do that right now. I have better things to do with my time. I've got another prom tomorrow with someone I consider a real, true friend and I look forward to that more than anything. It'll be great, I'm sure of it. And it'll mean to distract me from whatever I've got going on in my head, even if its for a little bit.

I am having such a weird time right now I'm arguably in the best mental health I've ever been despite being unemployed but today was just bad. Lots of old thoughts/ fears came back and I am so tired.

Woke up to a text from a friend saying "are you free today?" and nothing else and dragged my feet responding because I was exhausted and wanted to sleep a little longer and didn't think it needed an immediate response and once I did respond asking what was up he was like well we're all at brunch now but you can come hang out after at our friend's place (my best friend's place) when we're done and then he never got back to me to tell me that they were there so I texted my best friend because I wasn't getting a response and then it took her an hour to respond even after that. They were all just hanging out/ halfway napping their mimosas off and no one thought "wow it's taking a while for her to get here where is she? We should text her"

I live a 20 minute walk away from there and no one was concerned and no one texted.

Like? First off his initial text didn't include any information. Generally if you're planning on doing something relatively soon you include that info. If I had woken up to a text saying "are you free today? Going for brunch with so and so at 11 want to come?" I would have actually woken up and responded. And that's on me. I didn't respond. I understand that.

But none of them texted me when I didn't respond. There was no follow up. And then no one texted me when they were leaving the restaurant to go back to their place. So did any of them even want me to go to brunch? Or did they assume Mikey gave me all the info and think I was ignoring them? Did they even want me to meet up with them after?

And when it was hours after brunch and everyone was sitting around maybe they assumed someone else texted me fine I can believe that but no one realized that it was taking me forever to get there? No one? Not one of them was worried that a 20 minute walk was taking forever?

Obviously I was an afterthought. Maybe they didn't mean me to be but that's what their actions said. I wasn't anyone's first thought. I'm not part of one of the couples and I'm not part of the original friend group from their high school I'm just a floater. I get it. It is what it is. But would it kill anyone to just keep me in mind once in a while?

Completely reinforced the fear that I'm not actually wanted there and that if I don't constantly make an effort to be seen I'll just be completely forgotten. And I WAS forgotten so like is it actually a fear or just reality?

So I spent the rest of the day in this weird funk. Had a really good time at game night with my book club friends but when I got home it started bugging me again so I texted my best friend and her boyfriend (also my friend) to see if they wanted to watch the eclipse together and they've planned a day trip to go see it at totality.

I know and understand that they are a couple and I am not expecting to be included in their trip. It was just after the morning I had and the rest of the day feeling off to get that text saying they'll be going on a trip and can't do an eclipse watch with me was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I am so very tired of not having a partner. I am so tired of being an afterthought to literally everyone in my life. Everything feels like it sucks right now and feels like no one wants me around and I can't shake it.

Probably going to delete this tomorrow. If anyone's read this whole thing, my friends are good people who don't normally act like this which is why it's hurting so much. Logically I know that it's not that serious and it's probably nothing. I'm spiraling and needed to get this all out.

On the flip side, people will see Villains and abusers actually acknowledge that their behavior is bad and take steps to correct/fix it and consider it abuse apologism and say that it is saying "it's telling people that abuse is okay as long as you apologize and that victims need to forgive abusers." and it's just like no you absolute walnut for brains. It is saying that "seeing and acknowledging that your behavior and treatment of others is bad and taking the steps to change said behavior is a good thing."

So many people engage in fictional content and then give some lukewarm takes about how cybernetics eating your soul is inherently ableist because it is saying that getting protestics is bad, that being bad is okay as long as you were sad once, that having a traumatic backstory for a villain is demonizing trauma victims, etc. because they lack even the most bare sense of media literacy and critical thinking.

Any and all information has to be spoonfed to them like they're an infant who is just learning how to eat relatively solid food for the first time. If the story doesn't basically shove it in their mouth's that this thing is bad they'll assume the author is just promoting or condoning it and/or saying that certain things are just inherently bad and awful.

It's why you got so many people claiming to be good people and empaths but turning around and sending death threats to creators and VAs for not making their ship canon or for the crime of being the VA to character that is a bad person or saying that anyone who is a fan of x character is an abuse apologist or some other just off the wall shit.

Like, they don't realize that you actually have to do some occasional critical thinking when their lukewarm takes get them validation in reblogs or likes and anyone critical of them is just a bad person

not to post even more Villains Discourse on main but it really bugs me how people read giving villains tragic backstories as inherently excusing their actions and/or demonizing trauma survivors.

the actual message of Tragic Villains is (almost) always “people who are never taught or given any healthy, constructive outlets for their emotions will often find unhealthy, destructive outlets.” it’s that people who are traumatized and never learn how to cope with that trauma can become a danger to themselves and others. the message isn’t “trauma makes you evil!!!!” or “genocide is okay if you’ve been sad before!!!!” it’s “people need compassion and help to recover from trauma instead of becoming increasingly angry and harming themselves and others in the process.”

this site takes an alarmingly behaviorist and punitive approach to everything and it’s literally the most annoying thing. y’all have this concept that “if we just punish people hard enough, if we just scare them enough, if we just make them feel guilty enough.” that people just Do Bad Things Because They Do Bad Things, I Guess, and Because We Didn’t Threaten Them And Shame Them Enough. but humans are an innately social species. at our very core, we need compassion and kindness. we need healthy relationships with other humans.

you can keep looking at traumatized villains and being like “haha this dumb pathetic sadboi thinks murder is okay because his parents died” but as a survivor myself, unaddressed/untreated trauma absolutely can make you ragey and destructive. i was lucky enough to have support and eventually get the treatment i needed. but it’s not hard at all for me to imagine how, if that hadn’t been the case, that could’ve been me. obviously not on a movie-villain scale like murder or war crimes, but it’s so irritating as someone whose trauma has always manifested as anger to watch people on this site be like “this is just bad writing!!! real survivors/good survivors don’t end up like that the writers just hate survivors and want the audience to condone murder!”

Comfort

All my love and gratitude goes to @sugacookiies, @pixxiesdust and @hawks-senseis for beta-reading this, you guys were some of the greatest help I've ever had! ❤

Pairings: Bakudeku x Reader

Warning: Tw:Depression, Tw:Suicidal thoughts, angst, fluff and comfort.

Fingertips slam a frantic yet steady pace against the keyboard, your eyes go back and forth between each paragraph with a growing sense of panic. All your senses are running on nothing more but pure anxiety and stress, not even the thought of eating something crosses your mind as the one and only thing to worry about seems to be this specific assignment.

Neither of them can remember the last time they saw you in another spot of the house that wasn't that chair before the computer, sure sometimes you take a break to go to the bathroom, but sleeping? That word doesn't seem to have a meaning in your vocabulary.

Except for that one time you fell asleep on the couch for less than 30 minutes before startling yourself awake and jumping away from the plush cushion to keep working.

Both Midoriya and Bakugo knew how important it was to complete your thesis, but was it worth it when your health and body is on the edge of giving up? They both know how badly this kind of routine can end up affecting your health.

The last time you got this stressed it ended up fucking up your stomach all the way from the esophagus to the intestines. The whole digestive system was so affected it started to feel like your stomach was literally burning itself into nothingness from the gastritis you developed. You had to get treatment for two whole weeks, which was right before your high school finals, and it was one of the worst experiences you've ever had to go through.

There's a reason a huge portion of people going through College ends up feeling dead on the inside, the overwhelming amounts of work, spending so much time in the library one could literally claim they live there, assignments and impossible amounts of field work, all of that could be more than enough things happening at the same time to cause plenty of people to go insane. And if that was bad enough, preparing your Thesis was like one of the deadliest of trials.

Just from the look on your face, it was obvious you're starting to develop another health trouble just like that time, the tips of your fingers start pressing right on the spot above your stomach with a face full of discomfort.

Deku's the first one to see that and in less than five minutes he's already outside on his way to get some medicine, he doesn't think twice about using One for All to go faster. 

Everyone in the apartment was more than used to hear mumbling during the day, courtesy of your beloved Deku, but not even Bakugo was prepared to hear you of all people mumbling such dark things the very next day, when the stress began taking a harder toll. He could hear every single word loud and clear even when he's standing near the kitchen counters at the other side of the house.

"Why do I even bother?...It's not like anything I do even matters..." He can hear the the long sigh followed by more self hatred while he's stirring the noodles for dinner. "Sometimes I wonder if people would even notice that I'm gone...hahaha...I wanna die"

"...! That's it!" The wooden spoon gets slammed roughly against the marble counter, searching through his pocket Bakugo pulls out his phone to text Deku, who's already on his way home from patrol.

It takes less than an hour for the two of them to be there right besides you trying their best to comfort their shaking and panicked S/O, it makes them feel useless seeing how much you're struggling to hold on to the remains of your mental stability.

And when they hear the next course of muttering they know things are just about to get worse unless they do something about it.

"I can't do this anymore...I just can't," The tiny voice coming out of your mouth was heartbreaking. Your whole body is trembling uncontrollably as Midoriya walks up behind the chair, he lifts your whole body so he can take you to the bedroom, that way you could finally get some well deserved rest and calm down, in the meanwhile Bakugo goes back into the kitchen to fetch you something to drink.

Their dynamic was simple and yet effective, most of the time Izuku tends to be the one calming both of you through words, if that's not enough to help he's trying to find another solution to the problem through physical actions. Katsuki on the other hand tends to prefer being the one letting his actions speak for themselves first, even through the smallest of gestures he's always looking out for the both of you, in a reverse context to Deku, when his actions are not enough he's trying to make an effort to comfort you with his words.

Everything came crashing down inside your head like a landslide in the middle of a storm, bringing chaos and despair from every direction. It's easy to recognize the signs of your depression kicking in due to all the work piling up at once, and they're aware you're one of the most dedicated and passionate persons when it comes to your studies.

Midoriya tried to lay you down into the soft mattress and walk away to get that blanket they bought specifically for this type of occasion, but his shirt is quickly clutched into a tight grip, the broken sobs are barely audible to someone not paying enough attention have him on high alert as he realizes you've already started crying.

He has no other choice but to ignore his quest for the blankets and sits back on the bed. His back rests against the headboard while you're laying on your side, face resting softly against his well-toned chest, your body surrounded by his own arms that hold your shaking body against his with the hope that it can help you relax.

Bakugo comes into the room shortly after, carrying your favorite cup steaming with some nice and warm drink, your favorite judging by the glorious smell coming out of the cup in small puffs.

He carefully passes the cup to the green haired man sitting in bed before walking to the corner of the room and towards a dark gray, medium sized basket where the additional blankets are kept, rummaging through the furniture he finds one of the biggest, fluffiest and softest blanket of them all before walking back towards the bed. 

It takes you awhile to process what's actually happening because of the storm running through your head. But eventually, between the reassuring words and sweet whispering, the shaking and the crying slowly, but very slowly starts toning down until nothing but a small whimper can be heard every now and then through your bedroom. 

In less than a few minutes you've already been wrapped in that beloved blanket while resting between two warm and fit bodies, leaning back against the headboard with a comforting drink in hand.

"Are you feeling any better?" Izuku's voice is soft and sweet, just in case there's something still bothering your mind, at the same time one of Katsuki's hands is busy rubbing circles in the section between your shoulders in a steady rhythm, the feeling of his calloused and scarred hand touching that portion of skin helps relaxing your exhausted self at an almost exaggerated level. The last thing they want is for you to have another breakdown.

You want to reply but your mouth quickly opens and closes, so all you can manage to do is give them a soft nod in response, too tired to even try and talk to your sweet boyfriends. 

Sometimes the negative thoughts come during these kinds of moments to try and bring torment. It makes you wonder if one day they'll get tired of this and leave after realizing you're nothing more than a hindrance.

"Don't even think about it, Dumbass," Katsuki growls from his spot at your left side "I recognize that look on your face when I see it, you think you're worthless don't you?" That hand behind you makes its way to your shoulder, pulling your whole body towards him and positioning you in a way that makes your head rest on top of his well toned shoulders. For someone who's body is so nicely sculpted, the place where your head lays is one of the most comfortable places where somebody could rest.

"You are one of the strongest people I've ever met. You've always been someone who rarely allows small shit like this get the best of them" Katsuki's hand had long ago left your back to run his fingers through your hair, the friction against your locks of hair and scalp has a soothing effect that relaxes everything from your whole body to your mind.

A small tear manages to escape, but this time is out of relief and happiness for literally having two of the most wonderful lovers by your sides. The exhausted smile that spreads over your face sends the both of them into a state of relief.

"What did I do to deserve you both?" 

Deku lets out a soft laughter while Katsuki just smirks in satisfaction.

"Existing."

[debatemofo]

Now I wonder should we have this conversation? Maybe yes to see the opinions of cons and pros.

Okay so I found this online where this women speaks about how unfair it is that they would do this to her.

Definitely something they shouldn't do. Sounds very unfair. Now after that happen I saw someone respond to this comment with:

After this comment I realized that's also true. In my point of view I believe workers are not all saints. They definitely do try to either work more hours than agreed upon to get more money. Some even may say that they need the money etc. But most of the time they did it out of their own greed to get more money for their own personal reasons.

If you already know they want only 8 hours of work why work more than expected if you know the out come? Why engage to adding a half hour more to work if you know their not going to value the extra time?

But her reasoning afterwards was interesting point of view. She said she was provided with 10 minutes only to count the drawers before leaving. And that it would take more than 10 minutes to do so. And proving that context I believe that the company was definitely in the wrong. As long as the context I'm think about is correct. Which is that the employee doesn't start having a conversation or going to the bathroom before counting the drawers. Because then if that was the case I would understand the employers point of view to correct the time.

The context of each case makes a difference.

But continuing to the main point which is, is there a balance where employees and employers can be happy with a payment system that will increase profits to the business and create more jobs but at the same time have growth in the company and not stay in the same wage?

Why do employers not allow anyone to stay longer than 8 hours? Get more hours more money? Because of over time rules. I believe their should be a balance for employees and employers to be happy on both ends.

The hard truth of this situation is:

If you dont provide increase of profit to the business you are not valuable.

Now why would I say that? Because if employees that slack off and don't do their jobs correctly

can make other employees have the burden to carry out more work.

make the business not increase in profit and lose profit instead.

if the business your working in doesnt increase in profit then they can't pay workers more

or provide benefits programs to help them while working for the business

Workers who do have work ethics and don't feel appreciated are workers businesses want to hear from, not workers who hide in the bathroom, or take a break every 2 hours to get more hours and not help the movement of the employees who are working.

Let's see if you agree with my point of view:

I see the intention of providing this rule to employers. But I believe that's not the way to go. I also dont believe in increasing the minimum wage. And I'll explain why and how it should have been handled.

As you can see the minimum wage right now is $12 per hour.

The entire United states must increase their employees their wage until getting to $15 per hour.

Cons:

Businesses will increase their cost of services to customers. Which means that if a business increases their supplies to customers because you as an employee wants your wage to increase to BE ABLE TO BUY STUFF with out having low cash due to regular bills people get (water, trash, rent, car bills etc) then it ain't gonna work out for you. You'll just want the increased of wage to go up more.

People who already have a $5 difference between a new employee and a old employee will definitely see the ball coming. Which means that slowly the business managers will need to keep a close eye on the people who are earning too much for a basic not profitable job. If you slack too much because your job is easy and comfortable and you earn good. They will definitely find a way to remove you and put someone else with a lower wage.

You will see that people who like to work for 1 week or 1 month and leave have the same wage as you. Having to deal with their immaturity throughout the job. Which requires a team effort to keep it going smoothly.

Pros:

You'll feel like you have more money and definitely see more money on your hands. (But again after a month to 6 month ratio you'll see that if pickles were $.50 cents each they'll end up being $1 each.)

I dont see no pros except an illusion. Leave on the comments believe the pros of the outcome of increasing EVERYONES wage per year.

Now how can we solve the problem? We should see what do real companies that take care of their employees do to help them? I've done my research of what to do to help your employees feel like they want to keep working. And I do believe the government should take their advice.

1. Keep everyones minimum wage to $15 as planned.

2. Require for any company above 6 employees to increase payment every year the increase of $1 either the whole dollar or $0.25 every 3 months until getting to $1 within the year.

- now you may think that's the same thing the government is doing? Actually no. And I'll explain why.

If employees who stay longer than 3 months or stay for a whole year in the business there wage will increase because they are definitely their to work.

This removes employees who are there for 3 months or less from getting any type of increase of payment because of their bad behavior or bad work ethics.

Having a balance of:

1. People who want to stay where they are and not improve their status.

2. People who want to improve themselves to get more money and be able to pay for their school, hospital bills, or make a business of their own.

3. If an employee leaves voluntarily and comes back they will be paid the minimum wage no matter what position they were in.

- I believe this rule would help businesses keep the good employees to stay and the ones that literally love to party and are not engaged to improving their position to stay with the minium wage effect.

4. The automatic increase will be max $20 per hour. After that employers would decide if they wish to increase your pay or position etc...

We also have to keep our feet on the ground. The reason why I say that, is because I believe alot of employees believe they should be paid even more and more. To a point where they should have the same salary as the employer. Which I find ridiculous. The employer is a business person which means they created a business to not work for people but to provide jobs. And for them to live comfortably.

Employees work for someone to either get more money to get their dream to come true, or they believe in the company they are currently working in. And love their job.

5. Over-time extra pay should he provided to anyone who has stayed over 3 months in a business.

This basically motivates employees to stay for more than 3 months rather than try to get over pay within less than 3 months and then leave. So employees that are actually working correctly and take the extra work because of others who are just there temporary due to work ethics will feel valued and understood that if they make mistakes they won't be paid more just the workers who contribute to the company.

I believe a payment system to the employee vs employers should be based on who really has work ethics and how can we value and separate the ones that do and the ones that don't.

I've seen it many times where employees don't hate their jobs because of the managers but because of the workers that continuously slack off. And cause the worker more work due to their actions.

I'd love to debate on how we can fix the system how and we can make it better. Leave your comments or send a ask.
