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.

It's worse than that. Companies buy credit card data and their salary offer is inversely proportional to how much debt you have. More debt = more desperation = lower offer.

On a completely unrelated note, did you know USA hasn't passed a consumer privacy protection law since 1988? That law protected consumers from people gathering their information while renting VHS tapes.

That’s why those pieces of shit made me do a credit check before I joined, huh? Oh I’m getting back on GlassDoor to update my review now. I thought it was scathing before. Just wait.
