    Well then in that case your reading comprehension is pretty bad.

    In September 2022, I started full-time on the memberships team at a new warehouse in Athens, Georgia. I had two 15-minute breaks, and 30 minutes for lunch. Otherwise, I was on my feet all day.

    At first, I made $18.50 an hour — a little less than what I earned as a teacher. I put in 40-hour workweeks, five days a week, and got a $1-per-hour raise when I hit 1,000 hours.

    The article also describes how she worked in the bakery.

      My reading comprehension is fine. Do you understand the difference between the headline and the article?

      To recap, my critique is that the headline obscures the real story – that she got a raise by getting a corporate job. “Works at Costco” clearly implies working at a store, not corporate.

      At first, I made $18.50 an hour — a little less than what I earned as a teacher.

      So you agree the headline is a lie because she was not making 50% more by switching to work at Costco but by finding a job with vertical promotion possibilities and getting a corporate job using her degree which few would be able to follow in her footsteps cause their is limited positions.

      She took a pay cut to work on her feet all day.

      This is a recruiter article bragging about how much better it is to work for Costco and they try to make the pay cut seem like not a big deal when there is vastly different perks and benefits.
