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.

I wanna work in a library. Not much people, quiet, simple.

But it doesn't pay, like, anything.

Then again, nothing I have ever done pays enough. Not even the things that used to be considered well-paying back in my father's time.

I loved working in libraries. But even after becoming a manager, I couldn't feed my kids on the pay. It sucked. I miss it.
