They’re striking for funds for the kids who need it the most - the district stripped out funding for special education needs among other things. I for one am happy to be picketing to help support everyone in our district, especially those most often marginalized by bad policies.

I agree with you! I think this is def something we should all be able to get behind.

they just tack it on end of year so just don’t book vacay immediately after original last day

Amazing how Seattle is a single-party city (all Democrat), and still manages to be inefficient and get nothing done

Seattle is a case-study in how to be ineffective at everything in government. It’s absolutely astounding how badly run this place is.

You think they’re being selfish pricks for asking for livable wages? Wow. You should look at teacher salaries, and then factor in that they buy their own supplies. If you still think they’re being selfish pricks, go ahead and enroll your kids in private schools.

Anecdotal, and I’m all for paying “good” teachers more… but I had teachers making over $90k in 2007 that did nothing but have us watch CSI in class. They work 6.5hrs a day, and get summers off. Get rid of tenure and I’m for better wages. But the immunity trash teachers get is ridiculous.

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??

I feel like I'm doing everything right, but my research is not getting the attention it deserves.

I've submitted papers to all the right journals, gone to all the right conferences, and published on all the right topics. Yet no one seems to care—no one's citing my work!

How do I get people to pay attention?

Second year associate, started at a new firm recently and got put on a fast paced transaction. Made mistakes (drafting errors and tardiness to a call) that feel irredeemable… although no one has scolded me yet. As we move into next phase of the transaction the senior associate on the deal asked to meet 1-1 to discuss “logistics” and “my time/role” on the transaction. . .

Any advice on how to handle in the instance that I receive negative feedback during this conversation?
