A lady made a post expressing her frustration about a private school offering her a teaching job with a salary 50% below the minimum wage. In response, a user commented, “You better still thank them.” This remark dismisses the serious issue of underpayment and the exploitation of workers, particularly in professions like teaching, where dedication and effort are often undervalued.
Such comments perpetuate the idea that individuals should accept unfair treatment simply because they are given an opportunity, no matter how demeaning the conditions. It’s essential to stand against this mindset and advocate for fair wages that reflect the value of labor. Gratitude should not be used as a shield to justify exploitation, and workers deserve to be compensated appropriately for their skills and contributions.
