What a dark read it has become. I'm in a good place right now, just about headed to my last exams and already have a job (officially starting in four weeks) that's not even bound to my exam success.
I am paid above average (not top, but it ought to be enough), work mostly from home and still have 30 vacation days per year (not counting holidays, which I also have off), up 6 weeks paid sick leave, and most importantly a humane boss. Almost too good to be true.
I am not encouraged to do more than necessary, actually even discouraged to do overtime (although I am free to do so).
I can hate on what soviety has become in solidarity of my human kin, I hate what the US is doing (and on the other hand grateful for what my boss strives to do, in contrast). I have spoken before about how awful the US is as a place to work and live, compared to the EU. There are reasons for it.
Definitely, unionize. Go on strike. Claim it as the right it should be. Work is a dumb necessity, not a privilege - that's a false narrative.
Once their environment couldn't support or sustain them any longer, our ancestors packed up and left. As the world shrank, it became necessary to protest. You can make your choice and make your world. Or if you want to astral project, then do that
