The Houston mentality is that if things are bad you suffer though it. And if they're really bad, you buy something to fix it. And if they're really, really bad you move.
No community in this town. Everyone's just passing through.
That’s Texas in general for the most part. Just hunker down and get through it, and definitely don’t go to an organization bigger than you and your immediate neighbors/family to deal with it
This is what I hit into head first every time I've tried unionizing or organizing in this place. There's no solidarity at all. If you hate your job, get a new one. Hate that one? Get another. Everyone I know changes jobs once a year and if they still can't figure it out they move.
Something I discovered entirely too late in life was to change jobs every three years rather than ask for a raise.
Nobody knows what anything is actually worth and they'll pay a contractor $300/hr to do a job staff was doing for $50, because that gets the staffer off their books.
