It seems that many people work for a far lower wage than they should, and we believe that it is something that should never happen. They need to know that they could do better and never accept a low payment that was never going to be enough for you in the first place. Demanding the wage you deserve is the only way. This Reddit thread revealed how a person declined a low pay, and many people commented below. You can read the whole thread on Reddit.

Here is how you should never allow peer pressure to get the better of you. Do what it takes to make you go forward, even if it means declining jobs.

This person sums up how we feel about younger people standing for themselves when offered a low wage. They should never accept it.

4. The way 

Image Source: Reddit

Parents need to warn their kids that many people would always try to take advantage of them, especially when it comes to employment.

5. The interviews 

Image Source: Reddit

This is what we thought as well. Having to pass a couple of interviews only to be offered nine dollars per hour in the end is not the right thing to do, period.

6. The experience

Here is how one person spoke from their own experience, and we believe everyone should learn from it, as it tells a lot about how working for a low wage feels like.

7. The temp job

This is a different piece of advice and makes perfect sense. It would help people avoid traps when being employed, not to mention getting higher pay.

8. The question 

Image Source: Reddit

Some people were baffled by how some of the employees out there dared to organize a two-stage hiring process and offer such a low wage in the end.

9. The professional

This is how everyone should behave when asked about their pay. We know that those who end up standing for themselves always do themselves a favor.

10. The rate 

Image Source: Reddit

This is how one person described their experience, and we can confirm that we know a lot of people who struggle to get a higher wage.

11. The Australian 

Image Source: Reddit

This is one post that speaks about the difference in payment in different countries. We are certain that people would always try to land such high pay.

12. The applications

It is true that some people cannot take such an injustice, and this person seems to be one of them. We support this idea because we like it.

13. The daughter 

Image Source: Reddit

This is the post that comes down to one simple decision. If you know the wage would this low, do not go to that interview in the first place.

14. The country 

Image Source: Reddit

This is the truth, actually. It seems that nobody out there should receive less than $10 per hour, because that is literally nothing.

15. The important thing

Here is how one person told things as they should be. There are many moments when we think about the things this person wrote. This is the reality.

16. The factors 

Image Source: Reddit

The thing about this bitter experience is that the person who posted the original post managed to describe how supportive a parent should be in such a situation.

17. The business 

Image Source: Reddit

Here is one post that reveals another side of the problem. We believe any business could afford to pay more, but they just don’t want to.

18. The wrong sub 

Image Source: Reddit

There is no telling just how many people would support the theory the person should have taken the job. They are wrong, as nobody should work for such a low wage.

19. The offer

Image Source: Reddit

This is another post that claims that employers should either strive to pay better or reorganize their business so it could bring a better profit.

20. The places

Image Source: Reddit

This is what it all comes down to, and we guess that people should never allow businesses to take advantage of young people who need work.

21. The acceptance 

Image Source: Reddit

Some people push things too far, and we can tell that there are moments when even those who accepted such a minimum wage get fed up with it.

22. The tech job 

Image Source: Reddit

Here is another person whose experience must serve as an example to all those teenagers who are considering accepting a minimum wage.

23. The offload 

Image Source: Reddit

The idea that everyone must work for low money just to gain experience is wrong, and it should never happen in the first place. Sadly, it continues to happen.

24. The gratefullness 

Image Source: Reddit

No, this is something nobody should be grateful for. If you are grateful for the low payment you receive, then you will stick with it, which is a mistake.

25. The opinion 

Image Source: Reddit

This is yet another person who decided to be supportive and to focus on the root of the problem, and all the possible aftermath it leads to.

26. The adults 

Image Source: Reddit

This is how one person compared generations, and we believe that they were correct in their comparison. Most adults would accept what they are offered.

27. The counter offer

Image Source: Reddit

This is another strategy that we support. If the job is okay, then the person applying should simply ask for more. After all, it is a bargain.

28. The people 

Image Source: Reddit

There are moments when we feel proud of people we don’t know, and this is one such moment. It appears that those who stand up for themselves are always role models.

29. The wages 

Image Source: Reddit

Wages are something people should always discuss, and this is the only way people would know what to demand as payment and what to avoid.

30. The business 

Image Source: Reddit

We honestly think this is one of the best posts on the matter, and we fully support such an opinion. This employer was probably not going to be a dream.

31. The value 

Image Source: Reddit

All parents need to teach their kids what moments of their lives are milestones and how they should keep acting the right way in their future.

32. The respect 

Image Source: Reddit

The benefits of supporting your kid after they stood up for themselves are more than a few, but the best bit is showing the respect they deserve and need to feel.

33. The right idea 

Image Source: Reddit

We are quite certain that people who always strive to reach their goals would never allow themselves to fall for such an offer.

34. The lesson 

Image Source: Reddit

Here is how one person admitted that this was a lesson they should have learned a long time ago, and we believe everyone should learn it.

35. The low ball 

Image Source: Reddit

This is what this offer was all about. The employer tried to trick the girl into accepting a low-ball offer, but when she showed she had more to ask for, she simply walked away.

36. The offer 

Image Source: Reddit

It seems that some people are able to stand up for themselves from an early age, and we also feel like this boy is going to have a bright future.

37. The degree

Image Source: Reddit

It appears that people out there should never even consider accepting an offer that is obviously way too low for what they have to offer.

38. The daughter 

Image Source: Reddit

We know that people who read the whole first post, and they could all agree that this person has a point and the whole situation is absurd.

39. The comparison 

Image Source: Reddit

It is true that some people can compare their own experience and share it with the rest on the thread to serve as an example.

40. The boss 

Image Source: Reddit

It is true that people sometimes are able to land a job that pays well, but money is not everything important in any occupation, and the people you work with are equally important.

41. The reason 

Image Source: Reddit

Yes, we agree that this was the whole point of the two interviews and the process related to offering someone as little as nine dollars per hour.

42. The offer 

Image Source: Reddit

There are moments when we think that many people live on the bare minimum, and we wonder how they survive in the first place.

43. The wish 

Image Source: Reddit

It appears that this person is absolutely right, and we think that everyone should read this post and learn from this person’s experience.

44. The pay

Image Source: Reddit

The best thing one person could do for themselves is to know when and what to choose in their favor. This is a skill that is essential.

45. The jobs

Image Source: Reddit

This is a post that reveals how some people feel about the low initial pay. We disagree as well.
