Is the ideology more work-reform, or really anti-work? If it's the latter, how can society survive if no one is working to make the things we need? If everyone should have living wage for free, where does that money come from? Not at all against the idea of people having good basic living conditions, just wondering about the practicality of it.

Hi all, I got written up at work, almost fired, and trying to move past it. When clocking out, one of the employees mentioned how I was written up. I was taken aback since I haven't told anyone, and I had asked where they heard it from. They said that the day manager had told them, “I had been moody lately, probably because I was recently written up”. I feel like this confidentially information and I am embarrassed and upset. I will not bring it up to the manager that told, since she was involved in the write-up and obviously doesn't care. Should I tell the main manger, the executive director, or go to the 3rd party?

I had a moment yesterday that I was writing a comment about and realised that I could use a learning moment. Sorry, this is not “I quit my unfulfilling job” vibes (did that last year!) But rather “welp I'm in middle management during the most collectively stressful and antiwork movement of my life, how to make things better”. My company is awesome and I do manage to find things to like about my work, I'd like to keep it going! Can't give too many details but basically our company is the very definition of middle management as we function as an intermediary between freelancers and corporations who need them. Think Mechanical Turk like jobs but paid 10-40x better and run by a super small company. That being said, I'm sure no freelancer has the time or interest to look it up and see how small we are, and we don't…

what's the point of a rule that's not enforced? just remove it or update it in some way to be relevant…

…as part of a hiring process? Do you feel like it's a fair assessment of a candidate? Does it exclude any groups? Do they have a place in today's world where certain credentials can be falsified?

I refuse to patronize Starbucks until they get their shit together. I feel like I am the only one.

When management was asked about pay tied to market rates they among other things claimed. “Our excellent corporate culture is factored into your compensation”. We have had three software developer positions open for a entire year on my team. I guess I want to know when my kids daycare starts accepting corporate culture as payment?
