> Grades inform potential employers where a student's strengths and weaknesses are.

I graduated in 2016 and never once had an employer concerned about my grades. It would be a red flag if I had.

Half my time in college was spent working in the dining center cleaning dishes to help pay for my education. I didn’t have the luxury of studying as much as others did.

Funny, most of my class considered it a red flag if a employer didn't check for grades. Mostly because it meant everyone who had < 3.0 GPA or so would mob them.

All the best employers had 3.5 or bust.

I applied to ~15 employers in my last semester of school and 0 of them asked for or about grades (in the US).

Not sure about that. Don't know any faang companies that care about your grade.
