A man resigned on his first day of work after his Indian boss scolded him and dismissed the concept of work-life balance as a ‘fancy term’ and ‘western behaviour’.

      Firefox+simple page mode+ uBlock Origin fixes most of the cancer.

          Fair enough, but that combo does make the internet much more enjoyable and ad free.

                I’ve gotta remember this in case someone ever asks me what crawled up my butt and died. I don’t know how annoying or whatever the other person is, but this is like, the perfect response to this question.

                from French crétin, from Swiss French crestin ‘Christian’ (from Latin Christianus ), here used to mean ‘human being’, apparently as a reminder that, though deformed, cretins were human and not beasts.

          did you enable the annoyance filters?

          nothing came up here with those enabled. they really should make them enabled by default.

      I’m running Thunder on iOS. It automatically goes into reader mode.

      No problem.

      For those complaining about the ads even though they are using adblockers, I’m using Mull as my browser with uBlock Origin on medium mode. There were absolutely zero ads or other pop-ups.

      You ain’t kidding. FFox with ad blockers don’t even do anything to all the shit that popped up.

      Unfortunately from my experience lots of Indian news websites are ad-infested hell-holes even with a good adblock. Nevertheless I felt this article was fit to post on this thread.

        It does. I would have commented with the text of the article though. Considering the source. Live and learn.

      It’s a “news” article reporting on a Reddit post. My expectations were already low.

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.

Our Philosophies:

  • All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
  • Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
  • Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
  • We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

  • Higher wages for underpaid workers.
  • Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
  • Better and fewer working hours.
  • Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
  • Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
