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.

Still so crazy to me how there are limited "sick days" in the US. You shouldnt need to take limited days off when you are sick. If you are sick you are sick.

They’re limited in number otherwise lots of people would be off work more often. Can’t be having people with long term chronic conditions not working now! Wealth before health!

In developed countries everyone has access to nearly unlimited, socialised healthcare. And I bet we take less sick days.
