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.

I've started rolling my eyes at "Who decides?" prompts. Whether it's judging people, interpreting laws, etc.

PEOPLE. People process your grocery purchase at checkout, and verify you found everything okay. People determine whether the charge of murder is substantially proven and justified. People evaluate a person's immigration application.

This is not a brand new science. Fallible, sure. Imperfect, sure. Useless, absolutely not.

Thank you for responding. My "who decides" comment was an unuseful shortand for what I wanted to express, which is that I don't have much trust in our institutions to carry out the will of the people.
