We agree (@beckgale @HaleySSwenson) have got it spot on -- it is not about gear or goods - it is about what makes our system, our culture work (or at present, not).

Laughing -- hoping you get to keep your gig. Wondering is this a review? Are you being considered for a new position? Can you see about possibly having one of them make the meals, clean, do laundry? Do let us know how things workout!!!
Five-year-old brings toys downstairs. I ask what she’s doing as she puts them in a circle. “They’re having a meeting.” I ask what they’re meeting about. “Oh, you.” Then she walked away. Me: 😳
I will allow Samantha Stevens to speak for all of us here at IWP. Do what you've got to do to rest, recharge, relax and really let go. We we will see you soon!!!!

Any Questions?
Paid family and medical leave would ensure no worker has to choose between a paycheck and caring for themselves or a loved one. The BJKLI is proud to join alongside 1000+ businesses to support a national #paidleave policy. #SavePaidLeave with us: bit.ly/3djTRe0
At least 50% of the money must be invested in recruiting new personnel and establishing or maintaining workforce initiatives that increase compensation and benefits, according to a news release about the grants.chicago.suntimes.com/politic…

Much to say here...mainly, please share you stories. We should not forget this moment (ok many months) of misfires. In particular, your experiences.

It's not over until it's over. And until the ink on the bill is dry, I won't stop fighting to include #PaidLeave in the #BuildBackBetter Agenda. Let's finally build an economy that actually works for working families!

Heavy heart tonite, worried for our ailing, our caregivers, the littles who count on us, #essentialworkers and all who need #paidleave. We cant afford to fail you.
Paid Leave saves lives and saves jobs! 15M are out of work because of COVID and caregiving. You cannot cut Paid Leave to rebuild from a Pandemic-- you prioritize it! #PaidLeaveForAll NOW

It's Working Project and all of our partners are proud to join alongside 1000+ businesses to support a national #paidleave policy. @POTUS @SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi - our businesses, families, and economy need paid leave to #BuildBackBetter.
We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to pass a #PaidLeave policy that would lift up all American workers and families. Congress must pass #PaidLeave with the #BuildBackBetter package! Email your member today: bit.ly/3vVnIAO
THIS...RT if you appreciate it, get it, wish it, envy it. AND you, person in charge of such things in the private sector, if you want to offer such things as a benefit in real time, find us. We have the magic wand!
Paternity leave: an appreciation post. Not pictured: me getting adequate sleep, me reading a book that isn’t about infant sleep habits, me exercising again for the first time in several months because I had been couch-bound with a giant mass pressing on my lungs
