In this busy industry, is anyone actively supporting morale—or is it just “do your job and cope”?

Do your job, cope, and also be thankful you even have a job. I know it’s mostly the time we are living in, but has been a steep decline in morale for a few years.

Yeah this is true, I just feel like sometimes the company can really elevate a job into something you actually enjoy and makes you happy, just by being more appreciative of their employees

Aside from making a token social media post during Mental Health Awareness month, no. Show up, do your job, don't complain. No one cares how we're feeling.

My company posted for that and one of the things they included was how great WFH was for mental health… but they don’t allow us to wfh- make that make sense??

It often feels like we are expected to self-motivate in a vacuum. Morale only matters when people start quitting.

Even then it’s less about morale and more about making sure the company looks good

What’s the appropriate pay for a Video Prodcuer/ editor (for web) in London? I think I’m being underpaid. I have a BA(Hons) in Film & TV and a MA in Television Journalism. I’ve been working at the same company for 4 years and was promoted 3 years ago. I was told to ‘prove myself’ when I asked about the compensation, then the pandemic put a stop to any raises. I asked again a bit more than a year ago and they gave me a little bump because some left. I’m currently at £31k. The company keeps hiring
