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.

"Why won't people keep working like dogs? It must be because they're lazy."

Better optics than layoffs, and no severance is due. Seems like a great win for corporate.

Title is a question? That means the answer is No.

I believe specifically it’s whether it ends with a question mark. Does this title count?

"Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."

I don't think the law is very strict. Sometimes the answer is yes.

Office work is unfulfilling and mentally exhausting. If they paid me even close to what I make in a corporation at a tire shop Id rather work at a tire shop.

I think there’s was a bit more affordability and therefore flexibility right after Covid. For a brief moment there. We had some savings and still lower borrowing payments. Now I’m not sure we can afford to revolt. Or I can’t anyway.
