Paying Wages To Our Employees

She’s an old lady and she lives alone. She loves her job, and we know she will not leave. So, we cut her wages in half, told her on the phone. She tries to act okay, but we think she’s peeved. He’s a man who has fathered children all over town. It is a wonder he has not been caught more with his pants down. This guy has a lot of child support to pay, So, we give him a terrific salary, so he will stay. She is a ball buster, always griping about us being fair. We want to fire her, but we do not dare. Because she became the union rep, so that’s a no win. I give her snide remarks, and a fake little grin. He’s a guy who is a walking apology. We pay him in video game tokens and iced tea. He lives with his mother, so he doesn’t need much. He works every weekend if we’re in a clutch. Here is the union president back to bother me. I have to admit he’s a moron, as you can see. Wanting me to pay the same wages to all of them. I would like to throw him in the pool for a big swim.

It's hard to believe this kind of thing goes on in businesses, but I know it to be true. All workers should get equal pay for equal work. Very strongly feel that women who do the same job as men should be paid the same wages!
