    I won’t lie, seeing an Aldi worker can now potentially make more than me does sting but, not because the Aldi worker doesn’t deserve money, because I do have a more valuable position in my company than a cashier does at Aldi and with that in mind I see how much my company under values me.

    Does that make sense? The mechanics hear how much education and skill they need from Boeing and then hear that’s the market rate for… a fast food worker. Arguably, a fast food worker needs more interpersonal skills than a mechanic and has to constantly be the face of the business but for Boeing to land fat government contacts and then say they value their mechanics as much as Panda Express does it’s line cooks, well, it hurts.

      it does make sense.

      |I see how much my company under values me.

      This should be enough, looking at the positions pay in the past and how that’s adjusted for cost of living and inflation should be all the needed argument for a better wage.
