Join us, and let's actually move towards a life with less work and more leisure, rather than repeating 200 year old generic Marxist talking points forever.

Year one of Covid we got our raises rolled back. I later found out VPs are under contract and they couldn’t roll back their raises. So we had to take it for the team. I am an account manager in B2B sales. Our entire industry shut down so we essentially became a collection agency. Our analytics department also had 100% turn over during this time due to piss poor management. I became the de facto head analyst and team leader for the sales team for during Covid. I became project manager for everything. I developed entirely new sets of metrics for measuring the health of the market. Tracked all local laws and market closures/restrictions. Developed gross sales scenarios based on market closures or customer bankruptcies. I just created so many new data metrics and visualizations that brought us out of the dark ages.
