A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
First, what does "paltry"mean (non-native and shit-faced at that, sorry). Second, why do US workers accept this (assuming you are US)? That sounds like kerosene to revolution.
Paltry means "minimal, pitiful, lacking, without substance."
People put up with it because we have no social services of any note and need to keep a job to live indoors. Lots of times, people don't put up with it long term, which is why lots of service jobs have horrendous turnover of staff.
