Is anyone else tired of “employee engagement”? in c/workreform

[–] DrElementary 15 points 1 year ago

I put "pay us more money" in every comment box I can. It hasn't worked yet, weirdly... It's just a tool so upper management can jerk themselves off to anything good they can find, justifying their continued repression of the workers. They can point to one comment going "I love it here!" and then say any bad comment must be a bad employee.
