Long story short, I found out this week (unbeknownst to my bosses) that a newly-hired assistant at my current job is making a dollar more an hour than I am. Am I in the wrong for feeling snubbed at this disparity? I’m one of the department heads and between myself and the other departments, am the largest revenue driver for the company. We’re on track to double our income from last year, both years being under my watch. My team is small, but we bring results. Went to talk to them today about a cost of living adjustment, knowing what I know about pay scale, and they told me to wait until the year is up and our next busy season is over. To that I say, kiss my underpaid ass. I’ve been at the company for over two years, this person was hired a month ago. Clearly they never…

So I know that college is definitely not for everyone and I fully support people who don't have a interest in more higher education field to do trade schools because you make damn good money. There was also a point where college was pushed for everyone instead of trades and that seems to be reversing a bit. However it seems to be the opposite developing now that there's a disdain for colleges and college related careers by those in the trade schools, does anybody notice this? Now college isn't the answer for everything, but there's absolutely some career fields that college us necessary. Thoughts?

People had traditional wisdom, helped each other build such things, and more. Our current issues with affordable housing in terms of cost and political arguments are awful.
Seems like a great time for a general strike. The SAG-AFTRA (actors) have joined the Writer's Guild of Americs to strike. UPS' union is on the verge of a strike. With shipping and logisticals halting and the visibility of high profile Hollywood actors and writers, now seems like a great time to get serious about a general strike. Check out the link for a history in General Strikes and how we the laborers, can reclaim our power. Look at Europe and see what massive cooperation can do!

Antiwork new Netflix anime?
I just watched the first episode of Zom 100 on Netflix. Has anyone else seen it yet? Basically about a kid who is tired of working his dead end office job, so much so that he looks forward to a zombie apocalypse. The animation is beautiful and I think many of you in this subreddit would enjoy it.
