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.

Do you think potential candidates should be reimbursed in some form for taking assessments that are required by the employer in order to be considered for employment? (slippy.xyz)

Do you think potential candidates should be reimbursed in some form for taking assessments that are required by the employer in order to be considered for employment?

Also, should this be available for only job candidates who are not considered for the position?

Or should it go for every job candidate, even the ones that get the position?

Thanks for reading and being your most precious and sensual self ❤️.

I got them eliminated for two of the positions that report to me (the only two that had them).

Yeah, you need to know how basic accounting works, but that's going to be obvious from your CV; you don't have to prove it again.

I do get that in some industries, especially highly technical ones, you might need some evidence of how they problem solve. But if ask people to do something at home, you should pay them for it.
