Entitled Millennial or Starving Ex-Employee?

1. Who is Talia Jane and what were the problems she cited?
She is a former worker for Eat24, part of Yelp. Some of the problems she cited in her essay were the high living-cost of San Francisco and the low wages paid by the company.
2. What do you think about her and what she did?
I think thay nobody made her to go to work to San Francisco. If the salary was so low that she could not afford to live alone or turn on the heater, maybe she should have looked for a job in a more affordable place. Instead of complaining in an open letter that her managers could read, I think she should have searched for other jobs or solutions to decrease her expenses, like having a roommate or moving to another place.
3. Would you support or fund “Help a Yelper EAT”? Why or why not?
I would not. People should be able to live with the salary they earn, and I do not think that other people should fund the living costs of workers living in high living-cost areas. If companies are not willing to pay accordingly to their workers, maybe they should leave those jobs. This would lead to a lack of staff for the companies, who would need to increase the salaries to get people to work for them.
4. What was your life like when you were a fresh graduate/in your 20s?
I think it was quite similar regarding the low salary, but that is something that everybody knew, the firsts jobs were always going to be something to gain experience and we did not expect a high salary with no experience at all.
5. How do you display work ethic?
I try to do my work being compliant with my company’s policy. Regarding my colleagues, I try to help them in the same way they help me when I have some problem.
