If you look into where she's from and where she moved to, the CoL Index is 50% higher. So... in relative terms, she makes roughly the same.
She’s also working less and happier with the work.
Really this reads like paid advertising for CostCo because this person isn’t paid 50% more as an entry level Costco warehouse worker thank she was as a teacher. She’s now a corporate worker doing internal training for Costco.
Which is fine, and doesn’t somehow undercut the complaint that teachers are underpaid. But it makes this read more like an ad then some sort of honest comparison.
It really does, but She did compare it when she was entry level. She said she made a little less than when she was teaching. However, I’d take this over 20+ hrs of unpaid overtime a week.
Hell yes.
