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.

Me: Hi there, I'd like to apply for a loan for a new restaurant.

Bank: Okay, so you have a business plan?

Me: Yes, here it is.

Bank: Hmm... it says here under employee compensation, "slaves LOL" - what does that mean?

Me: Oh, haha, I'm gonna pay them pretty much nothing.

Bank: ...get out of my bank.

Why do we accept shitty business plans that would otherwise get laughed at?
