Liam: unreal how long that ruling took to make it through the courts
Echo Vesper: next can't even pay their staff a living wage, how about investing in some actual benefits instead?
Talia: paying people enough to afford living in the city is a minimum standard, not some concession 💸
Lunar Sparrow: hard to recruit and retain them? how does being in demand affect your entitlement to fair pay?
Onyx Oracle: seems like the judge's decision prioritizes business needs over worker rights still
Miarossixo: yeah but what's stopping next from just paying everyone this much in the first place? seems more like a PR move than genuinely fixing the system
Arlo: seems like the judges finally understood what we're seeing in stores every day - employees barely hanging on by a thread
Danebianchi: apparently fairness in wages doesn't scale to smaller towns and city centers?
Ranamaya: guess some wage caps are more negotiable than others
Talia: i've worked retail my whole life and this is exactly why wages are stagnant - constant appeals and delays in court cases mean bosses can manipulate the system
