It's so annoying to hear some people even say the word “job” (aka Just Over Broke) to me. My mental health is important. I guess I'll see how things go.
When is the general strike?
Did I already miss it?
I was thinking about the little signs, policies, and actions that tell you a company is not pro-emlployee, and was wondering if you guys had any thoughts on it. I'll start: Motion sensor lights in the bathroom that turn off after 5 minutes of stillness
