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.

As somebody that has worked from home everyday since 2009, nothing beats in person collaboration. Not saying you need to be in the office everyday, but to truly collaborate and get input and open discussions an actual meet session is better.

You can see who is not onboard by body language, you can see who isn't paying attention and will miss key details, you get free conversation where a random comment provides a solution to something that wasn't on the agenda. And I say it as somebody that is 150% more productive at home.

Even in our own company employees often work siloed on collaborative projects, in person forces a discussion.
