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.

I know the feelings of the subjects of the article all too well. I was promoted to mid level manager for a year and hated it. I'll never do it again. I'm quite happy to stay a lowly peon in the organization and make less money. The extra pay just ain't worth the additional responsibilities, hours, and stress.

Same here, I didn't put in "extra hours" because why would I? I'd just earn less.

Am a base code grunt now, no regrets.

I keep getting directed into management roles but I know I am a shit manager so I have to keep rejecting the bumps.
