Independent Lens 9to5: The Story of a Movement [View all]

I loved the movie Nine to Five back in its day in the 1970s.

This is a documentary about it some 40+ years later.

It sure tells the story of my working "career".

And yes, I made a sh*tload of coffee in my day and I recall being condemned for daring to take a few leftovers from a package home rather than throw it away.

Between the coffee making and getting a "salad vichyssoise" for one of the important visitors, I must say that I hate being a secretary (aka slave!).

Great video at the link below until MARCH 29, 2023 and then you need to watch it on Netflix or buy it it seems.

Talk about low pay, first job was $2.88/hr. Last job some 20+ years later was $11.00.

No wonder I don't bring in much from SS. Its not that I didn't pay into it, I just never earned enough to get anything much out of it as is the case with so many of the women that are my age. It is a very sad situation. We made $.59/hr. to a man's wage of $1.00/hr.

Hope y'all like the documentary and please share!
