Read this, guys. We have been like a slowly boiling frog, adjusting over time to increasingly bad treatment of the workforce without realizing how stressed and overworked we are, and how much our quality of life suffers. One can’t help but wonder if... — read more

Let me preface this by saying being on video for a staff meeting or a quarterly exec review is perfectly fine, but not 4-8 hours a day, 5 days a week. It's one thing to be in a room, but it's weird to be looking at virtual heads all day long. How... — read more

A lot of censoring (removal of posts) and downvotes occurring on this site. Particularly any comments that portray India in a negative light. I guess India has forced their socialist social media laws on this site.
