So plenty of turnover.

It's always the fucking suits.

Everyone else are constantly laid off and have to find work again. And again. And again.

    The working class is getting raped by people who went to business school.

    Both literally, and figuratively.

    The working class could stand up for themselves any day now.

    My office just ditched it's Wednesday work from home policy. I mentioned to a co-worker that we could start a petition and vocalize our displeasure as an office wide unit.

    She shot it down, because so many of her co-workers were insisting "actually this is great, we love being in the office" in front of management. And the more unreliable folks were consistently the biggest kiss-asses.

    Office politics is a removed.

    They tried making us come in one day a month so me and the other developers just wouldn't work when we were in the office while we were "planning". Then it became "we need the day before to plan what we're going to talk about tomorrow" and "we take the day after an office visit to go over what we talked about". So 3 days out of the month where nothing got done and it made enough of a difference the office days lasted maybe 3 or 4 months before they fizzled out
