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 was in a meeting yesterday afternoon that I could have summarized in two paragraphs.

In fact, I did summarize it in 2 paragraphs earlier that day. And sent it to everyone on the invite.

Imagine my surprise when all 12 people start panicking because they don't know the answer to something I put in the email. Turns out no one even read it.

That's why they like in-person meetings. So they don't have to read.

Yeah, that's the worst of it

How much time I spent writing eloborated mails, never got an answer, only to here in a meeting, the someone immediately demands answers and estimations from me - which I sent out to all members of this fucking meeting 2 weeks ago
