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.

Share as little as possible online. We knew this in the 90s and early aughts, but somehow over time we lost this healthy skepticism.

Facebook really flipped the script on how to act online. They made it acceptable to just post all your personal information online despite all previous advice to do the opposite.

I would love to see a documentary covering that specific topic. How did we go from rightfully cautious to data wrecklessness?

Normal people came online.

Basically, somebody must've realised that invading a home with spyware risked too much so they got us to instead release that data of our own discretion.

Good luck applying to jobs without going on the internet in 2026.

You can apply for jobs without oversharing publicly. Never said don't go on the Internet. I said don't over share your personal information. There is a difference between applying for a job online and posting everything you have ever done under your real name with your face visible.
