Would you trade lower wage for better working amenities?

Example: 25$ an hour, but dirty washrooms and poor work environment VS 21$ an hour, but clean washrooms, good environment, snacks and nice bosses.

April 18 Protest

If anyone has that fiery feeling in their blood, then I propose something I proposed on a previous Reddit account: National Walkout Here’s the thing, many of us have this fear and perception we can lose our jobs, and we can lose our housing. And why? Abusive workplaces tell us we can. Crisis situations can force someone into homelessness, or in mass debt. Target one person to make the example, and most cower. But, power in numbers. Think about it this way, with what we are seeing in France: This is achievable We are being threatened consistently on how we will lose our low paying jobs. Maybe a job forces you to come to work, even if you’re sick. Maybe a job forces you to do something you aren’t comfortable with. Maybe a job didn’t support you in your time in crisis.

Just curious about this subreddit

Based on this sub’s descriptions it looks like you guys are advocating for a “work free” life, but do you have any theories or ideas about how a society could actually integrate this and still flourish?

It just feels so hopeless

I just feel stuck. I seem to only be getting jobs that pay 15 dollars an hour. Even though I worked for 9 years and have an Associate degree in Business. I feel at the very least I should be making over 20÷. Yet I spent over a year trying to get a job that payed over that amount no dice. It's freaking nuts how picky places are. On top of all this with inflation and the housing market that 20 an hour doesn't feel enough. I'm beyond tired and feel like giving up.
