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.

You can make money without being cruel or awful to your workers. But every mega corp just wakes up and picks the most exploitive option humanly possible.

No you can't. Not in crony capitalism. Any honest business will go under, be bought out, or turn corrupt. If you are a multi millionaire or billionaire, you are absolutely evil.

If a company is publicly traded it's evil because their business model depends on infinite growth for investors and doesn't care about the workers.

Untrue. Sometimes theres smaller businesses that dont. Theyre either driven out of the market or bought out.
