i like to break down to co-workers how much of a check we’d get a week if even a fraction of our gross profit was just paid directly to us (it typically blows our hourly wages out of the water).

I saw a tweet where a pizza place did that for a day to “show appreciation” and they were making like 78 dollars an hour.

just saw that myself! i think our math worked out to about $1000 each extra a week if we split it evenly in my department. i have access to the financials so that’s minus costs. so +$25 an hour for each one of us.

This is really eye opening in jobs where your labor is directly billed out to customers. As a mechanic my time was billed at $100/hr, and my latest job bills me at $150, this is just “labor” and I don’t even see a sixth of it!
