    I not only answered this question in the original comment you replied to, I gave specific examples of people at vastly different education and income levels doing it.

    Yes, anyone can change jobs every 2-5 years and make vastly more money over time. It’s literally the best way to raise your salary.

    This is pretty well-understood and documented.

      I didn’t ask if anyone can. I asked if everyone can.

        "Everyone* doesn’t want to. Many people work their way up to a certain point and are happy where they are. Some people don’t want any responsibility. Some people have limitless ambition.

        I’m a “big picture” guy so I worked myself into positions where I decide large-scale direction. I’d have no interest in being like, a C-suite tho, because it is too removed from the impact of what I do. VP is basically my career goal.

          Lmao. So then why are you even in this conversation.

          Just say from the beginning you don’t think some people should be able to live.

            I have no idea what you’re talking about. Who am I saying shouldn’t be able to live?

              The people who are unable to do it. Are you even paying attention to the post you are on? Have you read the comments you’re responding to?

                Why is it your belief that those people will die?

                Some people don’t have the drive to climb that high. My wife is one of those people. She still makes a comfortable living.

2. No spam or reposts + limit off topic comments

Spamming posts will be removed. Reposts will be removed with the exception of a repost becoming the main hub for discussion on that topic.

Off topic comments that do not pertain to the post at hand may be removed if it is deemed they contribute nothing and/or foster hostility at users. This mostly applies to political and religious debate, but can be applied to other things at the mod’s discretion.


3. Post must have Antiwork/ Work Reform explicitly involved

Post must have Antiwork/Work Reform explicitly involved in some capacity. This can be talking about antiwork, work reform, laws, and ext.


4. Educate don’t attack

No mocking, demeaning, flamebaiting, purposeful antagonizing, trolling, hateful language, false accusation or allegation, or backseat moderating is allowed. Don’t resort to ad hominem attacks against another user or insult other people, examples of violations would be going after the person rather than the stance they take.

If we feel the comment is uncalled for we will remove it. Stay civil and there won’t be problems.


5. No Advertising

Under no circumstance are you allowed to promote or advertise any product or service


6. No factually misleading information

Content that makes claims or implications that can be proven false or misleading will be removed.


7. Headlines

If the title of the post isn’t an original title of the article then the first thing in the body of the post should be an original title written in this format “Original title: {title here}”.


8. Staff Discretion

Staff can take disciplinary action on offenses not listed in the rules when a community member’s actions or general conduct creates a negative experience for another player and/or the community.

It is impossible to list every example or variation of the rules. It is also impossible to word everything perfectly. Players are expected to understand the intent of the rules and not attempt to “toe the line” or use loopholes to get around the intent of the rule.


9. No posting links to Twitter/X or Meta owned properties

Social Media products such as Twitter/X and Meta Properties (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, Threads) are known low quality information sources - they actively spread misinformation without sufficient moderation, hate speech. These platforms each have billionaire owners working actively to eliminate labor protections through direct action, lobbying, performative large scale layoffs and attacks on institutions that enforce labor law.

You are not encouraged to do so, but you may post screenshots from these sites IF THE INFORMATION IS NOT AVAILABLE ON ANOTHER VALID PLATFORM. Screenshots must include info to support a relevant conversation within this community and must show a VISIBLE time/date stamp for posterity. If you are caught manipulating content of a screenshot, your post will be removed and you will receive an indefinite ban from this community at the discretion of the moderator(s)

No pass through/archive services are allowed as they potentially feed traffic back to these services, directly or indirectly (e.g. Services like Xcancel or Nitter)
