It's really unfortunate how naive we (us in tech) still are about the employer-employee relationship and how much leverage we got. The 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.

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.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

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.
Well put
Fuck Salesforce, I wish they’d go out of business.
Piece of shit shockingly acts like piece of shit, more at 11.
Yep, he looks exactly what I've imagined: a pompous cooked ham that's left for too long in the sun.
