A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Well, remember also that mentally, we also build our own prisons.

I absolutely was stuck in a job that was crushing my soul because I was getting paid better than worse jobs in the surrounding area, I wasn't forced on my feet all day...

...So I felt like I had no choice, and that it was the best I could do in the moment. So I kept going back. Even though every day I wanted to just set the place on fire and never look back.
