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.

Lol, did we work at the same place?

"Empty suits" it's the realest statement.

I resigned my position because I couldn't take it anymore. I told leadership that I refuse to use my skills and talents for those who I do not respect, and they responded by saying that there was a lot of money on the line.

They can fucking keep it. Fucking ghouls.

maybe we all met. i worked at the same place.

except there wasn't a lot of money on the table, just money shaped carrots they dangled in front of us to have us overworked to death.

That's exactly it.

When they said that there's a lot of money on the line they meant for themselves since they were partners.

They offered to share some of it with me in the shape of a very generous 3% contingent salary increase, which would come with strings attached like everything they ever offered me.

I've been learning to grow veggies, cook dry beans, and bake bread since money is tight after I resigned, and my partner and I are way happier because I'm not as stressed out from dealing with sociopaths and morons at work all day long.
