Leasing office people, do you have feelings about how much you have been made to facilitate aggressively exploitive rent increases lately, against families and your fellow humans, under the pretext of “inflation” and “the market”?
For all employees including maintenance and other community staff, has your pay gone up accordingly with the exorbitant rents they're making you take from your residents and neighbors? Are they even sharing with you the benefits of what they're extorting from all of us?
Societal instability affects all of us, not just the renters, and yet there seems to be little constructive discussion of what can or should be done to address this deeply destabilizing trend in America. Is there anything you can do to help protect families in your community from the predatory greed and abuse the owners require you to do in the name of their profits? Is there anything your tenants can do to help you to make the case against taking even more from America, simply because they can?
Would you like to help but don't feel safe speaking up for higher values than an owner's right to maximal profit using whatever (unfair) leverage is available? Are your coworkers talking about this? How are your morals impacted by what your owners require you to do to innocent people and families out there in “the free market”?
(Also, AirBnB people, house flippers, etc, how do you feel about the role you are playing in society and the housing crisis? Is it positive, negative, neutral?)
Please give us your insights.
