I feel like too often I’m seeing people muse about quitting a job and getting a new work from home position that pays 150k a year and has full unlimited sick time.
Like, not to belittle other peoples problems but it’s worth saying that actual working class people are trying to organize so we don’t have to grind our joints into dust to subsist off of poverty wages. I spent Christmas with my lights off. I spent my last two dollars on a candle. You know how badly I wanna kick my feet up and tell you all from my laptop that my new job pays me enough to buy a house? I wanted to pretty badly.
At a certain point, some of these posts are just bragging about a new job and cluttering actual discussion about organizing. Does anybody else feel the same way? It’s so hard to sympathize with people that brag about these massive salaries when I’m actually sweating over my grocery bill. Success stories are fun but there’s a time to keep it to yourself and let people organize
