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.

We need to end the habit of prioritizing things based on whether or not they are "productive." It's ok to be unproductive. It's ok to be lazy and fuck around and socialize and just generally hang out helping people.

Sorry, this is a particularly sensitive issue for me right now where our Chief Nursing Officer acts like if we have time to have any conversation with our colleagues, then that means we have enough time to manage one more patient. When the fuck did being able to have a little downtime at work become such a terrible offense?

(Yes, we're unionizing. Because absolutely fuck this mentality.)
