Half of the country thinks their savings account aren’t safe. The other half isn’t worried because they don’t have any savings.
I do not want to go to work today.
It is a nice spring day and half the office, including the boss has been out all week. My job is mentally tedious (challenging!) and I am underpaid.

General Worker’s Strike (USA)
What do you think it will take for workers in the US to mobilize and go on strike for better wages? The minimum wage is a criminal $7.25 and has been that way for at least 10 years. We should strike based on that alone. No one can survive this way and even workers who get paid a decent living are complaining about how taken advantage of they are. So what is it gonna take? I know we’re all afraid of “the man” but we’re the ones doing the work. And what about unions? Why is everyone in the US so turned off by unions? Even is someone set a significant date and time, would more people than not be brave enough to finally say enough is enough, our labor is precious and now we’re going to withhold it from you? Why is the rest of the world willing and…
RTO Effort – Why?
There was a post on here last week asking why companies are so aggressively returning to office. The strongest answer was “commercial real estate”, but I still don’t fully understand how this is a strong enough reason for such a unpopular, expensive and difficult-to-execute push. I am curious if anyone can paint a bigger picture for me. From where I sit, even if companies get a tax break for moving back into the office, it feels like it’s not worth the long-term costs. I know there are other factors like using it as a “swamp-drain” to get rid of expensive employees, and to hold onto some semblance of old-fashioned work culture, but that does explain why it’s happening en masse. Help me understand this.
I’m actively interviewing and looking for new jobs. But I haven’t found anything good and my current job is seriously testing my will to live. I am so burnt out at the end of the day that at 5pm, I usually go lay in bed with my eyes closed because I can’t bear to do anything else. The stress from this job is manifesting physically and I’m losing my mind. I am severely underpaid and can’t afford to leave. I am sick all the time. I’ve gained some weight. I think my manager is on drugs tbh because she can’t remember anything ever. I’m doing majority of her work for her. I’ve tried asking for a raise / promotion, they said sure! Led me on for THREE MONTHS trying to make this new contact then said just kidding! We’re giving you nothing. And got mad at ME for being angry.…
