Bank Holiday (Not)
It's a bank holiday here today, since New Year's Day fell on Sunday, but since I'm not a bank, I'm not a holiday. LOL. It's back to business for me basically. This year we're hitting the floor running.
Shoutout to the staff at this cafe as well. They must have been at work nice and early, when most people were probably still asleep, or just waking up, on a bank holiday. It's not bank holiday for them either. They're not even closing early today, as they did on Christmas Eve. It's just any old day.
Shoutout to all the bus drivers, those not on strike, operators of London Underground, members of the emergency services, doctors, nurses, postal workers and so on and so forth. All those that make the country run day in day out. I know some of them are on strike right now, and we're feeling it, but there are those that are at work. I also think many of those on strike deserve to be heard. Many of them have toiled for years without any increase in wages, even though expenses and inflation has skyrocketed. They've also seen their big bosses go home with massive bonuses and annual salary increases.
That's the thing with those that work for ourselves. If we want a "wage increase", we've got to create it ourselves. In that spirit, we're getting it moving. Time to harness all the opportunities available. 2023 is looking good I tell you.
Peace & Love,
Adé
I love the idea behind this post, appreciating the little efforts as some will call it. These people they do Most of the things they can to meet with our needs but then we most end up giving them a hard time but now I will try to appreciate them 🙂.
Happy new year Ade, I'm so glad we made it to another beautiful year, all the best! ❤️
Happy new year! wishing you the best in 2023 🙏
Thank you sir 🥰
Most strikers are in public services; in addition to having their wages suppressed or, as you say, not even heard (private sector industries have negotiated and settled salary increases with the unions), public sector workers are striking to maintain safety standards that protect the public.
It's so sad :/
I will be back to work tomorrow, but as there may be train strikes I may do it from home. I do support those wanting a better standard of living. With inflation running away it's getting tougher. We need a government with better priorities, but may have to wait a while for that.
Ah well, life must go on.
Life goes on indeed. The bills don't care about our hardships haha. I just got a whole bunch of annual ones come in 😅
A few days ago, it was just happening in my city and the doctors had blocked the road that our pays was not increases. The protest has been going on for three days due to which the commuters have faced a lot of trouble. Here is the same scene which has a big reference, it gets promoted and the salary also increases.
Looks like the problem is world-wide at this point.
