Audience Member: "The U.S. basically has the lowest unemployment rate ever, the lowest black unemployment rate ever, the lowest youth unemployment rate ever. We’ve actually reduced poverty around the world, no one’s talking about that at all."
Winnie: "We’re talking about jobs, but the quality of those jobs... one woman we work with there, told us that she and her coworkers have to wear diapers to work because they’re not allowed toilet breaks. This is in the richest country in the world. That’s not a dignified job. Those are the jobs we’ve been told about that globalization is bringing jobs. The quality of the jobs matter. It matters. These are not jobs of dignity."
This.
I saw a recent job listing that stated long hours for low pay with little to no leave. I got really pissed at it.
Is adequate work life balance and leave such a terrible thing to ask for?
It's hard when you don't have a choice about the kind of jobs you can work at. That usually happens to people with little relevant work experience.
The first few jobs will suck. I had to slog through my early jobs with a grin. But eventually, you will gather enough experience and skills to pick a job role you like.
