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.

Just looked it up. It's 43% more now than this time 4 years ago.
Though at it's peak back in June, it was 76% higher than June 4 years ago.

Gas hit $4 a gallon in 2008, I paid $2.79 for gas yesterday. The numbers could show what we want to with gas. Working in office sucks and I'd like to be compensated. 1.5 hrs to work and 1 hr home for the most part. So I am around $500 a month gas wise, and 50 hrs a month of used time that I am out. It sucks
