Double the minimum wage isn’t really that great in a lot of the US (assuming US here). $15/hr is ok. That’s less than $30k a year before taxes.

In California, double minimum wage is $30/hr, not $15.

Over 90% of america doesn’t live in California and most people mean the federal minimum wage unless otherwise stated.

$30/hr also means very different things in different cities in California.

My point still remains, for $30/hr especially (which is a legal minimum here for mechanics with their own tools), an employee definitely should be showing up to work ready to actually do work and not sit around and collect a paycheck for doing nothing.

If they can do this management is purely stupid or incompetent

Common problem in autoshops, actually.

Well you’re not who I was talking to so let’s find out what their hourly is as well as average rent in the area if you want to compare I guess? You’re talking about your own issues with your coworkers apparently doing nothing, but I wasn’t talking you and have no context.
