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.

A good thing for who exactly?

Uh... people and the economy??? To copy paste my other comment

I'll happy tell a new grad they don't have to work full time in a minimum wage job while they work through the process of acquiring their first post-grad role, or the student to enjoy their gap year traveling the country. Happily tell the seasonal worker who did 15 hour days over summer they made enough to have 6 months off. The stay at home parent that they are doing a good thing even though they aren't getting paid for it, or the person transferring between jobs that they don't have to start the day after resigning from their other role.
