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.

Well, 25-30. But the older ladies at the dispatch smoked weed as well. Well few of them did. One liked opiates. Most drank.

I don't work there anymore, but it's somewhat complicated logistics. You arrange school rides for kids and patient rides to hospitals and have to make sure people aren't late for their planes and trains leaving in the morning.

It's just that for the first several hours, it'd be every calm during the night. Sometime around 4am people start leaving for trains, buses, planes. Then around 5-6 you have people going to hospitals. Sometimes they're disabled and need a taxi that can fit a stretcher. Then it's the kids after that.

But like some people like caffeine aa they feel they need more energy to perk up. It's the other way around for me.

But yeah thanks though it was fun. I was kinda pissed during corona when they finally took remote work as my home workstation is far superior to what they were when I worked there, and I kept actually using a team viewer connection back then as well (~2012) so could've easily done the work from my home.

And yes you'd might wonder what sort of company allows an employee to install remote control software on their computers?

A small company with a large turnover which never understood their dispatch center or technology properly.

But like if you made a poll on some programming community here on how many of them work while high...?

I know softwares see developers in rather esteemed positions who smoke every day. Not all day necessarily but

I'm a software developer and, while I don't smoke all day, I'm a night owl. Some days I'll go to bed at 2 AM several nights in a row, and after that, I basically go a couple days where I don't get anything done. So I might as well practically have been smoking all day being high as a kite. 😅
