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 took a job at McDonald's for a bit a few years ago. (Living in a small town in Oklahoma when my car broke down and all I could reasonably walk to was Walmart and McDonald's) They didn't start everyone at minimum wage. They started everyone at $8.00/hr. 😞

I did eventually get hired at the Walmart (and eventually move to civilization) at $14/hr.
