> Why? Because I want things to be "calmer." (...) Because I want the guarantees of everything to be "calmer," and I'm more than happy to forgo any extra pay for more "calmness." This is not a thing. There's no reason why min wage should make things calmer. If you manage to get it (and that's a big if), you'll have the same working conditions as everyone else but at a lower salary. Companies/manager don't adjust their expectations that way. Look for companies/teams that are super chilled out in general (they exist like you said); if you go for the salary angle, you'll most likely come across weird and probably won't get the job at all. > I'm writing this at 3 am Because who in their right mind thinks "minimum wage people are having it great, they're the ones treated the best by their employers". |

You're right, that's why I've never voiced the idea in practice but I wish I could somehow. Even if companies couldn't adjust expectations than at least the hiring process would be easier, given a pool of the same quality of applicants, you'd pick the cheapest one. And during downsizing, in another pool of same quality applicants, you let go the pricer ones go first.
Thanks for the comment, I gotta try and brainstorm ways to better pitch this feeling without people immediately think it's a scam.

that's the plan but I feeling like tech is going to take a big hit in the coming economic downturn and just wish I could turn my willingness to work for lower pay into a competitive advantage
