It’s as if some people don’t realize that some of us are still on first year pay, and came from low paying regional jobs.
Not all of us have been making $100k+ the last five years.
When I hit second year pay, 4/1, it will literally be the most I’ve ever made in my life.
As much as I can plan for a rainy day, getting through first year was already part of that, so any attitude of “if you can’t be ready financially you’re wrong, blah blah” can go pound sand.
And I’ve been downgraded and through two furloughs before. Some of you just don’t get we haven’t all had these magical careers.
