Ok this is admittedly not what I think is intended by “essential workers”, but biotech/pharma workers are considered essential for keeping healthcare infrastructure up and we’re working in-person throughout the pandemic. At the risk of sounding entitled because we are rather well-paid compared to other essential workers, our wages have not moved in 5-10 years, while executives get their third beach house, and so many of us are chronically angry with nothing to do about it.

Do you have any advice for biotech/pharma employees who are chronically underpaid through various wage suppressing tactics? It’s gotten really bad, scientists/engineers and middle managers can’t afford median homes in cities that house the industry. How do we even begin to fix this?

Aria and Tristan aren’t concerned with our first world problems lol
