Not to rub it in their faces but to give them context and they can evaluate their own worth. Is what I am proposing illegal? Any reason not to do it?

So I work for a big tech company and the call for returning to office is starting to be sent out.

Whether they worked at a warehouse, restaurant, outlet – the only thing the boss ever knew were the numbers they got back from the business or cash they recieved. If the business was bad they would probably cut jobs without a second thought for who the people were. Like this show was somehow was supposed to do what exactly? Make the bosses somewhat more relatable and human? That they can struggle for a day and empathise with little vicky who cant afford school, rachel who cant afford rent ot Jamal who cant…

Hello, since wages are so low in correlation to the price of rent and basically everything else right now, has anyone here bought a house with 3-4 other people? Not couples, but like with friends? People do this to rent but what about buying? Is that allowed? Just wondering and thinking about it
