I thought it might helpful to get a beginner’s perspective since people struggle so much with figuring out how to get started and imagining the first steps

I appreciate the advice. We’ve had 5 resignations in the past week so I hadn’t even thought about new hires yet. I told my IWW contact to watch out for me overworking because I will absolutely hyperfocus and burn out if I don’t consciously try not to. I want this to be a marathon, but I absolutely have sprinter’s energy at the moment.

That’s a fine way to start, especially to get people on board before they resign. If they’re ready to quit then you can tell them to at least make demands on the way out even if they don’t want to stick it out.
