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.

Money don't buy happiness, but no money buys a lot of misery!

Yep; money is necessary but not sufficient for happiness. It also removes very common cause of unhappiness (financial stress). But it can’t unconditionally make someone happy.

This is exactly it. It doesn't really buy happiness to a large degree, but it does remove so many problems and worries that you get to spend time on your happiness.
