Really? This company offered these folks $1 and hour increase but they demand $5 an hour to survive in Portland. Maybe it's me but if you can't afford to live in Portland, and who can? MOVE!
This is a non-skilled job and supposed to be an entry level position into the workforce. It was never meant to provide for a family or the high cost of living in Portland.
In the 80's, the Bay area became SO expensive due to Silicon Valley boom that the wife & I packed up the family and relocated to the central valley.
We found jobs and and a economy we could thrive in . These idiots want to live where they want to live and demand WE pay for it. Because, and i'm using logic here, who ultimately pays for this salary increase? Surprise, you & I. Give these burger flippers the boot and take your company out of Portland.
