I'm a help desk tech and someone genuinely thanked me for showing them something today and I felt so good afterwards. People very rarely thank me in a genuine way. It's always polite, but you can tell nobody actually means it. They just want their shit fixed.

Raising children, feeding families, and cleaning up a household are staggeringly underappreciated labor tasks that are paid very little (or nothing at all when it's just family obligations).

Farm labourers. There is a reason that such a large percentage of them are trafficked.

Healthcare environmental team, they clean up everything and are literally front line for IPC
