Evaluation

When I read the topic “Evaluation”, author tries to describe the condition of low wage workers. She shows different obstacles that low wage workers have to face on their work. She gives some good hint for worker regarding the tricky issue by saying “you need to be fast and thorough, but not so fast and thorough that you end up making things tougher for everyone else” (194). If worker don’t know anything then it might be problem for them, but if they know too much then it might be problem for them too. When she worked in Wal-Mart, one of the co-workers advised her not to “know too much,” because “the more they think you can do, the more they’ll use you and abuse you.” So knowing too much is also one of the problems in work.

Low wage workers have to give up the car and buying a used bike or walking to work. They have to do more than one job to standard their performance. She talks about the workers of Minneapolis that most of them like to work in Wal-Mart rather than at one of the better paying jobs available because of transportation problems. Not only transportation problem, but they have rents problem too. When the rich and poor people compete for housing, rich people always outbid them. So poor people are necessarily been forced into housing that is more expensive, more dilapidated or more distant from their places of work. We can say poor have to work near the dwellings to the rich. They are always suffered from rich people.
