BY LORRAINE DUFFY MERKL Boy, do I feel silly. Who knew that working at an entry-level job that is beneath one with a college degree merited outrage. Recently, this was evidenced by Talia Jane. The 25-year-old Yelp employee wrote an open letter to the company’s CEO about how the pittance he paid her couldn’t sustain her San Francisco lifestyle. The missive went viral, with many of the responses not going in her favor, and she was fired. Even though Ms. Jane lost her job, she did become the center of an Internet debate, bringing attention to how recent college grads aren’t getting a fair shake in the workplace.
