- A TikToker reacted to the store’s hourly pay in a video he posted on April 11
- He only learned of the hourly wage at the end of his job interview
- His video has received nearly 100,000 views and over 500 comments
A man who wanted to work at TJ Maxx has revealed his complete shock after finding out the salary for the role he applied for.
The man, who was interviewed for the position at what appears to be a store in Pennsylvania on April 11, couldn’t believe the position came with a salary of just $12 an hour, paid weekly.
“Everything went well, but in the end he told me they paid $12 an hour and they got paid every week,” he said on a TikTok under the name user name “@sobeatmyass”.
“So I was like ‘yeah…I’m not taking this fucking job.’
The TikToker known as @sobeatmya** slowly went viral after questioning his job interview with TJ Maxx in a video he posted on April 11.
There are currently over $1,000 TJ Maxx stores in the United States and Canada. As of this year, states like Nevada and Nebraska currently have a minimum wage of $12.
There are more than 1,000 TJ Maxx stores across the United States and Canada. The store’s pay rate varies from $9.50 per hour for a sales representative to $23.19 per hour for an assistant store manager.
The base minimum wage where l@sobeatmya** likely lives is Pennsylvania, which, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, has a base minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.
However, despite his disappointment, he ended up accepting the job, causing much debate among his followers on TikTok.
“Do you already have a job?” Otherwise, accept the position until you find something else. Some money is better than no work,” one TikToker commented.
Others commented that the hourly wage is good, but one user suggested @sobeatmya** to accept the hourly wage amount.
“They’re about to ask you to assemble all the furniture,” the TikToker concluded with a laughing emoji.
@sobeatmya** may live in Pennsylvania, where, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, the base minimum wage is $7.25 an hour.
Social media users gave TikTok advice on what to do and a few people criticized it for expecting better hourly pay.
They added: “But for real, if you don’t have another job, take the $12 and keep looking until you find something better.”
The confused TikToker has since asked viewers what they think he should do as he has no idea how to handle the situation.
As of now, it appears he hasn’t responded to any of the comments made on the video by other TikTok users.
Commenters made suggestions about what he should do while others brought up salary and were surprised that he expected a higher hourly wage.
