No longer has good 401k options, was making 20% return now can only make 4% return due company changing what options we could pick.
Healthcare cost has risen 500%, PPO won't cover until you are out of pocket $4,000 then cover 80/20 which puts you further in the hole if you are hourly (salary has bonuses that cover that cost).
If you are hourly it is very difficult to move into salary due to management assigning labels how employees are. (You need to be the right skin color to move up quickly due to affermitive action) HR sets quotas on what skin color to hire.
