A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

It is true: "Every utopia starts with the horrible story about how it came from a dystopia." Or something along those lines.

I dunno if I’d call France a utopia

They removed the guillotine too soon.

The trick is it should never be removed: There will ALWAYS be greedy fucks that don't care about others.

Yeah. They definitely got a little guillotine-happy towards the end there. They should have just put it away in the back room, and taken it out on parade for special occasions. As a reminder.

Make it so any position of power has a functioning guillotine right over their desk

They might get the picture if you rigged a haphazardly trained Ai camera to it:

"Hey any excessive scratching under the desk might be perceived as under the table bribes or other corruption behavior and release the guillotine. You've been warned."
