So-called “fight for 15” is HOLDING BACK the drive to raise wages. That number was good many years ago and isn’t sufficient for NOW.

Instead of “Nobody wants to work anymore”, people should be saying “No company wants to hire anyone.”

I’ve applied to 100+ jobs that I am well qualified for in a little under 2 months. I’ve only got a handful of phone/zoom interviews and 3 in person interviews. Not once have I gotten an offer. Many times do I see these same jobs getting reposted on indeed. I don’t understand. How could you be “urgently hiring” on December 1st yet still be on February 14th? People are looking for work, but these damn companies have to meet us halfway.

You gave a man a fish to murder us if we step too close to the river, or speak too loud, or eat a fish from another river. You’ve copyrighted the fishing net.

I hate my job, fills my life with so much dread. Didn't used to be so afraid to quit jobs that made me feel this way, but suddenly the world seems way less predictable than it used to. Something definitely needs to change, need to get in a career that is more lucrative, but I just don't have the energy to figure that all out while still working here. I'm just so ready to quit, but that decision just seems to lead to an insane amount of anxiety.
