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 worked a job where I figured a full quarter of the money I made from the job went to pay for commuting.

My last job was 8 hours of work and an hour commute each way, but it was by train so it wasn't too bad since I could read my book or nap. Have to drive an hour or more each way is suicide-provoking for sure.
