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.

Haha, yeah you might be onto something there. It felt like a way to pull the rug from under people to see how they cope, which wasn't nice. I try to put people at ease in interviews, rather than try to catch them out.

I was ambushed with a "so, what do you do for fun?" once and the sudden context switch made me pause for so long that I must've seemed like I had no life outside of work ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Same, I said "I like electronics and taking things apart", for an IT position. Got the job, ended up on printer duty. That wasn't what I meant by "fun" ๐Ÿ˜
