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.

This is such a no-brainer that I'm surprised the climate crowd are not advocating more aggressively for it.

Something like 70% of greenhouse gasses are produced by 100 companies globally. This is like using a cup to empty an Olympic sized pool: yes, it does something, but not enough.

We need to maintain focus on the big producers and affect change there first and foremost.

What are those companies doing? They are selling stuff to people.

I think work from home and also the adoption of the 4 day work week will be critical to tackling the climate crisis

Four day work will cut the emission even more. Just saying.

Isn't that also what they're saying?

It's also the 20% payrise we all absofuckinglutely need.

But at what cost? Employees are less productive without the watchful eye of a skilled manager.

individual civilian emissions are so inconsequential in the grand scheme of things that it makes me laugh when people talk about shit like this. A vast, vast majority comes from industries, not individuals driving a car to work.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

They are, but when large masses of people are allowed to significantly reduce their emissions and with no downsides (other than middle managers' feelings, which no one but them consider a downside), then it's worth it.
