I landed a job a job at a company that’s circling the drain, I feel like a parasite feeding off a host until it’s gone and I move to a new one
I'm a public librarian. Just dreading the day we are defunded. They’ve already attacked our national orgs.
Maybe this varies geographically, but our town's libraries are directly funded by the town. We recently improved a millage for renovations. I hope they would be pretty insulated from... sillyness.
Most libraries also have significant federal funding, and rely on resources maintained with federal funding, even if state and local funding is higher
Absolutely this. Our federal money actually comes through the state org which takes care of a whole bunch of stuff like our inter library loans and access to Kanopy/Libby.
Absolutely know the feeling
When I quit a few years ago are my last employer, I was thinking, I'm the rat leaving the sinking ship
Fucking card house still hasn't collapsed somehow and old employer is now my main customer.
So...not much changed, besides that I don't have much security anymore
But hey! Illusion of freedom, when being self employed! ;-)
