Happy International Workers' Day!

By engineerdude91 - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I realized the benefits at Burger King are better than at my company. I'm an engineer, have three degrees, speak three languages fluently, and work at a multi-billion dollar company. The guy flipping burgers has better health care and more corporate 401k contributions than I do. FML

Are you stupid? The guy at BK brings home MAYBE 17k a year. I worked full time at Walgreens, and yeah, that's my yearly gross income. I actually got a paycheck of about $1000 a month. Full time. You make, what, 50k at least? That guy at BK would have to have 30k worth of benefits to even equal what you get. Get over yourself, OP. You worked hard to get where you are, and believe it or not, you're fairly compensated. If it's so bad being in your job, then why not get a job at BK? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Maybe you should apply for a job at Burger King then.

as a Bk manager! we don't flip burgers!

The guy flipping burgers also makes minimum wage. Quit your bitching.

haha, now don't you guys with your degrees and corporates jobs look down on me,,,,,,,,,,,,,bitches

Engineers are among the most undercompensated professions in the United States. They help the multi-billion dollar corporations BE multi-million dollar corporations, and in the end, see very little of that money. He's not a stuck up jerk. He works hard and gets undercompensated. If you guys think 50k is just for an engineer with several degrees, why don't you try it and only then can you call him a stuck up jerk.
