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 love my coworkers but I've been bitten in the past and now I only trust emails, even for small projects and even if I can't be fired.

In the past, the CTO of a company destroyed the Linux servers by putting random commands in bash (he only knew Windows). They tried to put the blame on me, I printed all the emails where I warned them that it was the worst idea ever and said something like "you suck, it's your fault, don't try to sue me, I quit." There is no need to put your whole life (personal and money) in danger because one idiot cannot do his job.
