The author of "to Cindy" should come up with a consistent alias if they aren't going to use their real name. So in response to one person under the aliases "to Cindy", "that golf course", and "Yes, quit":

Your advice is not practical on many levels.

It is bad advice to tell an individual to quit their job and then find another. That is a way to become homeless. If the goal is a better job it is much more practical to look for that better job while working your current job.

Likewise, gaining more skills through higher education is best not started with a rash quitting of current employment.

While one is in their current employment strengthening ones union is also a way to gain a better job.

Even if Cindy does find a higher paying job (which she probably had before she quit her previous job) she would then need to have other workers come into her house to take care of her daughter. Generally the best caregivers are family members.

IHSS workers perform a needed job. It is no more a charity than the fire department coming and putting out a fire in your house. Likewise, since many government workers perform essential functions in this society we deserve a living wage, health coverage, and a pension. Today you don't care, but I think your attitude will change if ever become disabled.
