  • if anyone has trouble understanding this, remember when you worked retail/food service and your boss refused to hire enough people so you all had to take extra shifts on your days off, all while your friends couldn't get jobs  if you still don't get it, you're probably management https://t.co/k92ezNnnF1  — Eric Ravenscraft (@LordRavenscraft) May 7, 2023ALT
  • Short-staffing has become a major problem in all sectors. Retail, food service, health care, education, factory production lines, call centers, child care, IT, office support staff, etc. Every corner of our society and economy.

    Now we know that even in creative spaces employers are not willing to hire sufficient staff to accomplish necessary tasks, demand workers do more than their fair share of work, for longer hours, without fair compensation or reasonable breaks/time off.

    This needs to stop.

  • And this is particularly an issue where the industry is either dominated by women (relying on the expectation that women will always sacrifice their own needs for others benefit) or where people’s critical needs are being serviced (like healthcare, etc, where workers know that ppl will suffer without their extra unpaid for services).

  • “humans don’t do anything for free” somewhere out there there is a guy who spent days if not weeks of his life cataloguing every stupid thing you can do on stardew valley so that you can minmax the fuck out of growing potatoes on a pixel grid for quite literally no reason but that it might help someone else
