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.

"for more money than I need" - that's the real trick, employers aren't exactly looking to give people more money than they need, it's sort of the exact opposite typically

Eh, my current job, it's more money than I need, but also way more time and energy commitment than I want.

I'd say your doing better than many if you have surplus money! But to your point, I do agree slaving away all day to make someone else rich sucks

This is GenZ we're talking about, I'm from a fairly LCOL area, so most people I know, don't have many responsibilities and rent and food aren't too high. So I don't think for my situation it's that uncommon.

Lol I'm just about to ask my boss about raises this year. Let's see what happens... 100% of my pay is going into cost of living right now

Edit: no idea as she hasn't heard anything from HR. lmao I doubt we'll be seeing much of anything even though we increased profits by 4 million a year this year.
