The year 2020 was horrible for a whole lot of reasons, but it did have one silver lining—for the first time, many disabled, chronically ill and neurodiverse employees were able to work remotely.

Some are still trying to win by the old rules, and experiencing burnout or change fatigue in the process.

The federal minimum wage for tipped workers has stood at US$2.13 an hour since 1991. Back then, it amounted to half the $4.25 regular minimum wage. But Congress has failed to increase the tipped minimum while periodically raising the regular wage floor. Today, the tipped rate is less than one-third of the $7.25 federal full minimum wage. As of October 2024, 30 states and Washington, D.C. , had instituted their own, higher, regular minimum wages.
