Lady P is the exception that proves the rule!

Isn’t it also a truism that it’s easier to find a job when you have a job?

But for potential employers, being able to draw on the pool of unemployed workers is fantastic: you don’t need to offer a raise, or better options, or work-from-home (aka, another day off per week) plans. They’ve got the poor fucker over a barrel. “What is your current salary?” “Fuck all.” “Oh, so maybe if we went 25¢ under minimum wage, you’d bite?”
