Minimum wage rage

'Minimum wage rage' refers to the amount of hostility perpetrated by lowly paid, disgruntled employees, seeking to redress the balance at work. They may use various means, overt or covert, to accomplish their goal.

Tesco employee #1: 'God I hate this crappy job! I work my ass off and for what? The national ruddy minimum wage, that's what!'
Tesco employee #2: 'Look, I know you feel shit. Employees around the country are now carrying out minimum wage rage. Why don't you punch the regional manager's face in? You'll feel much better!'
Tesco employee #1: 'naw...I'll just nick a load of razors out the stock room, and stick 'em on eBay.'

wage rage

When you get really angry because there's inflation, but your nominal wage doesn't adjust

Damn it Peter, inflation is at 4% but I still earn as much as last year. I got such a wage rage!
