An employee at a major bank in Florida was so grateful we passed 15 an hour min. She makes roughly 19 an hour and her son works in retail. She said how pleased she was that they would earn more money. I stated "how we going to make more money"? She went on to explain her 20 years of service is worth a lot more than min wage. I responded the 15 an hour is like food stamps, designed to help the poorest among us. She than asked the manager when they raise the min wage 1.5 will she get more money. To which she was told no, just the annual raise if available. It was at that moment she understood. Telling me if she could work at the zoo for 15 an hour why would she work in a high stress office. To which I responded "you wouldn't". In hind sight I should have said those making 100k would prolly get raises.

Imho, taking care of animals is more important than shuffling papers.
I used to shuffle papers.
Also making power point presentations for your boss about how you're shuffling papers.
And scheduling meetings to discuss changing paper shuffling processes, so you can shuffle more efficiently.
Don't forget meeting to discuss not using cover pages on your shuffling unless its for specific job codes, and to only use the new time cards when doing more than one job code, but make sure you use the old standard time cards when only doing one job code.
