Flagging isn't supposed to be used as a super downvote.

There's a term for the bizarre behavior and thought processes (read: justification) by the person you're responding to. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupational_psychosis>

> you are being extremely reasonable

They're not. If there's nothing wrong with it, one could ask whether the person here would be okay sitting in a room with their supervisor, the head of the company, and 10 customers, say the same things they're saying here, and get a consensus that this is how this should all work out.

Did I say it's how it should be, or did I say this is how it is?

It's a reasonable request given the unreasonable nature of my working conditions, a thing I have no power to change.

You are an exasperatingly selfish and un-self-aware person. You should not be mentoring children. This is enshittification personified:

> One of these will allow you to[…] get a raise

> given the unreasonable nature of my working conditions, a thing I have no power to change

You know that there are people who experience actual hardship, right?
