one of my coworkers tried to advocate for me during her exit interview bc of the 20k pay disparity between me & another person in my year but it sounds like it went really badly & she called me to be like uhhhh so if management retaliates against you just fyi it’s mostly their fault but also kind of mine so i’ll write you a really nice reference letter for your next job

just got an email from management titled “meeting re: pay equity” if this bitch actually got me a raise…

fatherofthebride

spent literally all day in meetings about this today and management has agreed to enter talks about changing the pay structure after i sent them a unionized pay scale from a similar organization with all salaried employees CC’ed lmao

we had a separate call without management afterwards and told each other our full pay histories and any justifications they had given us when we tried to negotiate past raises and it turns out they’ve been lying to us all about pay ranges for years l m a o, meanwhile the girl who started all this is sitting in on all the calls watching the chaos unfold around her like a righteous blazing angel and i owe her my life

You Need To Ask for a Fucking Raise

Are Unions Good or Bad? (spoiler alert…they’re good)

Should You Trust Your Human Resources Department?

some time ago i introduced the phrase "food pact" to my friends as a shorthand for "i'll go make and eat food if you also make and eat food" and ever since then ive just started incorporating more pacts into my life. stay hydrated pact. stretch break pact. stop doomscrolling and go to bed pact. we need to bring this back in vogue more people should be making pacts imo

the best part of this is when you ask "who wants to do a shower pact" and you get a half dozen friends all rolling up saying "the pact is sealed". faustian behavior

if you say you’d enjoy this you’re missing the point, you’re probably not my target, and it can’t be something awful like a sexual harassment drawing or graphic gory “hate art.” it would be like drawing a black and red badass satan wolf power fantasy guy picking daisies cutely with a bunch of nuns or your sexy sergal vixen lady getting diagnosed with ibs. something that has enough effort in it that it shuts you up because it counts as genuine gift art but is something you clearly wouldn’t want to see your character doing. i used to do this sort of thing to opps on deviantart when i was 12/13 and i made friendships that lasted years by doing this. these days when two autistic people on the internet get in a fight they send death threats. what ever happened to ms paint parody art of each others wolves ?

As someone who is somewhat of a “veteran” of the online ND community, I’m disappointed in the lack of positivity and love for lesser known diverse cognitive conditions, and the opposing abundance of posts about “cures” or outdated criteria or treatments for those conditions. So, without further ado, I want to say hello to anyone with any of the disorders I’m listing, and give them the love and support that hardly anyone else in our community has… Shoutout to:

  • People with Down’s syndrome
  • People with Fragile X
  • People with William’s syndrome
  • People with dyslexia
  • People with dyspraxia
  • People with dyscalculia
  • People with dysgraphia
  • People with Prader-Willi syndrome
  • People with aphasia
  • People with a TBI (traumatic brain injury)
  • People with chronic/early onset mental illnesses
  • People with cerebral palsy
  • People with FASD or were otherwise disabled via other substances in utero

And many, many more I may have forgotten to list (but still support and love)

You are all beautiful and wonderful, and you all deserve so more love, appreciation, acceptance and support. You are just as neurodiverse as the rest of us, and your voices deserve to be heard and amplified.

I love you all ❤️

love the narrative of "i hosted a tournament with prizes on the line and some ASSHOLE came and totally crushed all the people who just wanted to have fun and they hate fun and everyone had a bad time" because like. no. you fucked up by putting prize support on what was apparently supposed to be a fun hangout for friends, actually. they heard "hey, thing that im good at and enjoy competing at, for money! I'll go do thing" and then came and crushed it. they did what you set things up specifically for them to be able to do, actually.

i'm just thinking abt how many providers i've had who heard my story abt psychiatric abuse + immediately individualized it. "oh, you're so smart + kind+ obviously sane! you didn't deserve that! i can't believe they gave you that diagnosis when you're obviously not like that! they shouldn't have treated u like that when all you did was xyz! they shouldn't have assumed you were crazy like that!"

there is always a third person haunting this interaction- the patient who does deserve that, who is "actually" that evilscary diagnosis, who did Have To be treated like that. if i want to soak up the affirmations of these providers, i must be careful to never become this third person. i must affirm myself by setting myself apart from her- i did not deserve to be treated like that because i am not like that.

i reject this. not only was i like that, she + everyone else like that deserve everything i deserve. they are my siblings + my friends + my lovers. i do not need to cut them out of me to believe i deserved better. i refuse to comfort myself through the lens of someone else's dehumanization. the tragedy is not that psychiatric violence was applied to someone who not insane enough to warrant it. the tragedy is the violence.

if thousands of conservatives could quit bud light over making a SINGLE can with a trans persons face on it, you can quit chic fil a for them donating millions to anti lgbtq groups and harry potter for being written by the face of TERFS.

Don't let conservatives be the ones with the stronger resolve, guys. If we want to act like we're better than them, we're gonna have to like... Actually be better at following our own ideologies.
