Company Near Seattle Introduces $70K Minimum Wage

[M A V I C]

People should be paid based on the value that their jobs provides for the company. It has nothing to do with how "hard" someone works. In this case, the owner is going to find a way to make those jobs worth that much to the company. They will likely automate or outsource any necessary jobs that only produce $35k worth of value. Or they'll just have one person making $70k do two jobs. It will be interesting to see how it works out, if we ever get those insights.

FWIW "unlimited vacation" is becoming pretty common. My current job offers unlimited vacation.

Since when is Ballard "near Seattle"?

They'll probably try to convince you that West Seattle is near Seattle too.

I can see how that might confuse some people though.
I've heard that this city is unique in that when people who live her are asked where they live, they say the neighborhood, not the city. This is the first I've seen of the national news being confused by this.
