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.

Bunch of real Einstein's running these places, huh? Fucking morons, just don't waste the money leasing large offices.

It's all about status. Big building = big dick. And more buildings spread all over the place is the equivalent to them having tons of kids.

It's such a primitive, ape-brain thing to do, but that's how these psychopaths operate.

Seriously. Every job I had, the C-level were all about flexing the size of the company.

One Fintech company I worked at got a giant skyscraper in front of city hall as a Fuck You to the mayor because they had beef with them a few years back. Another tech company constantly bragged about how much square footage of campus they had, constantly comparing themselves to empires.

All just dick measuring.

Good thing empires never fall, right?
