You know what, you’re likely right. But also I’ve been broke sense forever and never had a chance to think about a 401k, which historically has benefits the 1% significantly more than any contributing person. I guess my point is, don’t appear to sympathize if you’re not directly experiencing it or taking action.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I’ve been working in public school libraries for almost 10 years now and get paid basically nothing, and since I’m not a teacher, my retirement accrues so slowly that it’s basically nonexistent. I’ll probably have to work until I die. I should’ve switched careers a long time ago. One more year and I’m out. I decided to wait until my daughter graduates high school, and then I’ll make big life changes.
Just for some perspective, some companies give stock options to employees in lieu of better pay, so the guy you were frustrated with might also be broke.
I revised my comment to him, and I’ll do it for you. I hope we make it through. My original dream was to make the internet a safer place for us all, given it is the amalgamation of all knowledge known so far. I’ve been let down it’s made me sour to people. I hope it gets better, and I hope life lets you continue working in the library because we need it.

I hope things look up for you! For all of us!
