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.

The problem in America is that more and more skilled workers are having to settle for making hamburgers because of shit like this. Good luck getting any "portfolio" shit done when you're working 2 unskilled labor jobs and still not making your monthly bills.

This also doesn't address the fact that employers give zero fucks about that stuff. Portfolios. Gimme a fucking break. It doesn't matter if you singlehandedly made an entire Linux distro, no one's going to care.
