I agree there’s lots on the Kool-Aid. It is up to those of us who aren’t to tactfully inform the other side of the story.
I fall in this category but I was in the regionals for over a decade. Everything now feels like wealth and red carpet compared to what I'm used to. I need some more fellas to tell me we're not paid our worth and it could be so much better 🤭

I emphasized (qol, soft pay, vacation, and sick on my survey)
