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.

Many of those who have left the workplace are being forced to return by the cost of living crisis to bolster their finances.

It's true. I see more and more elderly working around me, when they should be living off their pensions.

And this has a yet another bad side effect: my company has not hired new young workers to train because there is no need - all the retirees keep coming back when they are needed. There is a huge issue with finding a job for young people because there is enough old people working still.

These companies are just pushing the problem to 5 years later, when all the elderly physically can't work anymore.
