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.

That's the whole deal of maximizing profit. If you can get your employees to work extra for free, you have a very successful business model.

If you think this is sad then maybe you'd agree that we need a change.

Yes, but you need to throw in some consideration for your employees, either material or symbolic.

That would be the nice and fair thing to do... However people are often happy with just a pat in the back so that's what they get.
