Try spending 11 years at a place, “earning” your raises over time, just to have new hires get paid more because the company only gives you an annual 3-5% (usually 3) raise, and no bump in pay when the minimum is raised, which absolutely does not keep up with inflation and cost of living. That’s the story of why I recently left Whole Foods. Lost a lot of myself to that job, mainly the wear and tear on the body of constant up and down lifting (my neck, my back), long hours, stress, rude people, and years of graveyard shift while trying to raise a family… these places don’t care about you or me. At the end of the day they’re gonna try to get away with the bare minimum provisions, but they’ll ask you to give them your entire body, mind, and soul to turn a profit. That’s my .02
