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 because it's braindead "free market" cargo-cultism.

Merely not participating isn't good enough. There are way too many shortsighted people in the world, making that sort of strategy a perpetual loser. This sort of shit can only be stopped by government regulation.

Gov regulations? You mean the gov (whichever country) that works for the capital and not the worker-ants? You mean this one? While you're not technically wrong, the shortsightedness is also on your side my friend.

So, in the meantime, it's up to everyone. Working there and waiting for the gov to same me....not happening.
