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.

Anyone signing up for the new SAVE income driven repayment plan?

Apparently if you're making anything under $32,800, your payments can still be paused. (The number is higher if you have kids to feed)

I'm glad to hear that's in place. It's almost literally the least we could do. It's wild that we needed a law for that.

I would be surprised if there's many people in the US earning under $32.8k and successfully making every loan payment, anyway.

Seems like the program just acknowledges what ought to happen anyway.
