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.

‘Google decided that work-life balance was more important than winning’

OK Eric, but how do you win without employees?

This guy is a complete tool who sounds angry at Google for personal reasons.

I have worked for several successful startups with remote work policies. The employees don't "work like hell" because they are in an office. They do it because THEY HAVE EQUITY. If the startup prospers and does well then so do the employees. I've never had a coworker decide to stay late because of access to a communal fridge and public bathroom. I have, however, known them to work harder to improve their chances of an early retirement.
