Maybe the 4 day week is kind of like the last day to go after? You guys have NOTHING. A living wage, proper vacation that you actually take, sick days, childbirth… choose one, got after that!

$0.05 yearly raise and an employee pizza party, take it or leave it.

Didn't show up in the first 30 seconds? No pizza left.

I'd prioritize universal healthcare, personally.
