Is the US ever going to offer this? It’s crazy to me that no one is having kids. They just can’t afford to. Birth rates are declining. I know they care about workers being around at least, so if the number of people that died from covid is higher than babies born why isn’t anything happening?

All the statistics I’m finding say that job satisfaction is up despite the pandemic blah blah. Can anyone find anything credible that backs this up? I just can’t imagine it to be true.

One morning last week, I woke up to an email from a recruiter on LinkedIn. It appeared to have landed in my inbox as if by magic. I hadn't sent in a resume or crafted a tortured cover letter. None of the usual stuff. For once, someone had approached me. I briefly talked to the recruiter on the phone, and little by little, I allowed myself to get my hopes up.

Theyre also trying to hang a promotion over my head. Heres the problem tho. someone at my job has said promotion already stacked with several raises, She has been there the same amount of time as me, Comes to work in sweatpants daily, and refused to…

Seriously. How many people here work in the service industry for example? Why not use the organization and momentum that this sub generates into the formation of a union at some point? BTW I'm not asking mods to do a single thing. Any effort should absolutely be led by users. Too difficult? Why? Just an idea.
