A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Then they get to fire you for non-compliance. And you don't get to collect unemployment. Basically the same as quitting for them.

That’s not what my employment contract says, last I checked. And those can’t be changed unilaterally.

You've got it better than most, then.

Nice, in theory, proving it is the real problem. Meanwhile you're not getting paid and they have an entire fund just for lawyering you into submission.

Yeah, that's why unions are so important... Without one in that situation you're fucked.

Kinda baffling to me most tech-companies don't have one. I get they're attempting to stop unionising but they can't easily be replace their whole workforce at once. They'd loose all their know how...
