Look at the guy who walked 20 miles a day to go to work. Hard worker,never missed a day of work in 10 yrs. He worked at that factory for 10 yrs and was making $10.55 an hour.
I made 5 cents more an hour the first time I walked on a factory floor in 1984. The game has changed.

Nothing has changed Tony.
As an employer, I could give a rat's ass if a guy walks to work, takes the bus, arrives in a limousine, or crawls in.
What on Earth does that have to do with anything?
The salary shouldn't be based on how "hard" they work, or what their transportation situation is (hell, the guy was lucky they GAVE him a job knowing that he might not be dependable to get to work). Most people aren't digging freakin' ditches in the hot sun. They are working in air conditioned work environments. And the majority of them are "working for the weekend".
No Tony, walking to work doesn't mean jack shit.
What gets you a RAISE at work is going in and being VALUABLE above and beyond the current shit grunt work that a person may be doing.
Taking classes after work to educate yourself, being THE guy at work who doesn't fuck off half the day, etc.
THAT is called motivation. Walking 5 miles uphill both ways to work doesn't make you worthy of making more money. It just means that you don't have the intelligence to work your way up the ladder and buy a car.
