      It was reported by several outlets as true.

      Risky publicity stunt if that’s what it was.

        id believe it if there was a single outlet doing original reporting :/ all of them are just reading verbatim the same screenshots we have here. some of them bother to put the word “allegedly” in.

          Your assertion has even less basis though… It’s been a day, if it weren’t true surely they would have issued a refutation…

          If you’d put “probably” in your statement you’d be on more solid ground.

      The company faced significant backlash after allegedly terminating employees under stress and later clarified that the move was part of an awareness initiative.

      lmao yeah right. Get fucked. “Ohh we tots didn’t mean it besties”

      And you really believe that?

      “Let’s pretend we fire all employees that are stressed out over or horror practices, will be a great commercial!”

      What that link says is that they fucked around and found out and are now making up bullshit excuses to contain the find.

        I don’t believe anything, is my point. Everything about this reads to me as made up attention seeking. So sure, you wouldn’t be wrong to guess maybe the latest news is false too.

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.

Our Philosophies:

  • All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
  • Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
  • Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
  • We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

  • Higher wages for underpaid workers.
  • Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
  • Better and fewer working hours.
  • Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
  • Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
