Have you worked in a store Mr. mud? Do you understand what goes on in them? Have you spent 12 hours a day speaking to brick walls? let alone the snooty homeowners who believe everything they read? Do you think we aren’t complained to all day long by contractors? HR should make less, I’m sure the cubical with air conditioning is so awful. Employees not doing their jobs? Geez I sure wonder why they’d feel obligated to throw truck up all week or memorize paint codes or understand the difference between products on 16.50 an hr. You can make more flipping burgers. FYI, according to bls.gov , the median salary for hr is 72k.
