Working in service gave me every single skill required to be a working professional. It is so infuriating to classify a certain type of work as low-skill when those jobs are crucial to both the economy and many individuals well being.

I am so exhausted with seeing commercials advertising #ShopLocal #Massachusetts on non-local cable stations and providers. How about community news outlets? What about those of us in local media that support retail and restaurants week in and week out?

I know it’s hard to make choices as a business owner that could make some people angry. People hated that we paid living wages. People hated that we didn’t take gratuity. People hated that we prioritize hiring a diverse team. People hated that we enforced mask mandates.

Underrated quality of leadership: Sensing that when you step aside, others will grow into your place. And supporting that growth, joyfully.

It's called the "Dish Pit", and we wonder why we can't find people to work in it for minimum wage anymore.

Low-income workers relying on the benevolence of ignorant public to sustain a racist and archaic system. We desperately need a narrative/policy/culture shift re tipping.
