If you take meds to deal with work, you're not the one with the disorder.
I work in a nursing home. In the 3 years I've been here they have pulled a lot of crap. For starters, if you call in they force you to “make it up” on your off days. And to top it off, if you're sick and they mandate you to be off for X amount of days, you're also forced to make up the days they told you that you can't come in because you were sick. So for the full timers, who are already working 40 hours a week, and have kids and lives outside of work, it's nearly impossible. You work 40 hours a week then you miss 5 days because of being sick so then they force you to make up those 5 days on top of your regular shifts. A lot of my coworkers are students. They can't manage their studies while following this policy. A…

I may have spoken my mind today
I work at a newish pharma company which is generally well run with a really nice company culture. I've never had a problem with anyone except one colleague I work with who has been called a bully, annoying, incompetent and so on by multiple people including myself. Working with him was such a nightmare that my manager hired a supervisor to manage us both under her. The supervisor really hit it off with him and quite honestly they're both widely seen as annoying and incompetent so they kind of stick together and leave me out. Which is honestly ok with me. We work in lab based roles and those two never actually enter the lab except to keep tabs on me. I do almost the entirety of our work and lately I've been working late as a result. The supervisor occasionally says backhanded comments to me implying that she doesn't…

Fuck this RTO B.S.
Team17 is a large UK games publisher and developer. They recently lowered staff morale and angered studios they work with by announcing NFTs. If you want to know more about NFTs I recommend this long video essay from Folding Ideas. Here are excerpts from Eurogamer's “Inside Team17, following the Worms NFT firestorm” (written by Tom Phillips). The whole article is recommended reading: The company's annual bonus has recently become a point of contention, as staff said they had become used to putting in extra hours in the hope of being recognised and rewarded as a result. However, last year's bonuses were abruptly slashed – some by more than £1000 versus what staff were used to – despite Team17 publicly declaring record profits for the first half of 2021. Staff who questioned the sudden reduction in their bonus were told it was a result of first-party titles that had underperformed. “This…

So… about a protest…
You might have seen this post before, ut had gotten taken down for the title. I’m not promoting or suggesting what I had said before, never was. Basically TL;DR: there is nothing stopping us from peacefully protesting by getting a bunch of people to gather and on a specific date we all stop going to work until the government changes things or all works agree to start changing like 5 weeks paid vacation, $15 dollar pay minimum, etc. No one even has to go outside to protest, just stay at home. People will know what we are doing. Protest the work: they can’t overwork us all. To add on I do know not everyone can do this obviously even if they are in support but can’t afford to not work. Anyways here’s the full thing and plan if y’all want: A couple people from other countries have said it. We…
