  1. So many tech workers have faced layoffs, I know people that have been out of work for 12 months. Apparently I need to be smoking the out of touch reefer, pass me your happy pills Two cents people.

  2. Insane, I usually like their show but this one they must have been on something. I make way less than my parents when you adjust for inflation. Even though they only had high school education. Parents in the 80s and 90s also had insane benefits. Their companies paid 100% health insurance, high bonus structures, life insurance (I have never had this), company cars, and work cellphones. They had very few layoffs and were able to buy second properties very easily. Wage stagnation has ended all of this.

  3. They really need to delete this one. Wage stagnation is still horrible. Also, so many people have been laid off in Tech. 34,000 in 2024 so far. I know people that have been out of work for 12 months. I guess a janitor saw a pay bump so that means the economy is great!!

  9. I am guessing your not one of the thousand of people who lost their job in tech this year so far in 2024. I know people who have been out of work for 12 months. But hey I guess the janitor got a pay raise so the economy is good... Right!

  17.  @leeroyjenkins3677  They need to measure the timeframe from the 80s till now and not just Covid till now. The benefits and pay my parents and Grandparents had were amazing. One person could work and feed a family of five on a 40 a week job. Now so many people can't afford rent with a Masters level job while their roommates work as well

  21. They smoked the big reefer on this episode. They forgot all about Tech workers (Layoffs.fyi) and wage stagnation. I know people who have been out of work for 12 months. The economy hasn't been good for them. But hey a drunk janitor recieved an increase in pay. Unbelievable!
