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's really unfortunate how naive we (~~us in tech~~ labor) still are about the employer-employee relationship and how much leverage we got. The talent/merotocracy propaganda we've been showered with since The Great Recession can't wear off soon enough. Labour organizing ~~in Big Tech~~ can really grind the machine to a halt, given its dependence.

You're not wrong. I just think we may be a bit higher on our own farts than other fields, due to the chronic labour shortage in the 2010s.

We all have our own blinkers on. But maybe my field of vision is a little to the left or right of yours. I'm not always this clear-minded, especially after dinner and stressing over my own petty struggles. The sun shone today in a way that made me notice, is all.
