I think the “someone” putting pressure on them isn’t really individual people but just a general sense of class solidarity. Upper middle class and upper class people will do anything to keep their avenues of profit healthy, and their avenues are the status quo. Giving lower level workers more autonomy, flexibility, and the power to shape what the workplace looks like is NOT the status quo. Add the effect that WFH would have on the real estate market to the mix and now they REALLY aren’t going to be interested. Real Estate is a huge money maker AND has strong influence in many other industries. None of this should really matter to us regular folks though. We need to stop thinking that what is good for the goose is good for the gander. If workers want to work from home, we should continue to push for it. Our metrics for what is beneficial to workplaces should be very different from theirs because their goals are very different from ours.

I am on a hybrid schedule and I love it. If they allowed it, I’d probably be at 80% remote because my job, experience, and skillset allows it. It’s beneficial to me, opens up space in our building, reduces my travel cost, reduces traffic at rush hour, and I GET MORE DONE! No losers as far as I am concerned. :)

I thought it was owned by loreal, and I thought that wasn’t owned by anything else.

what is this supposed to mean?

I hate that this is true, but if someone has chosen to switch and they can afford to do so, than they should. They just shouldn’t think that that’s where their power starts and ends. Real change doesn’t come from our wallets.

CeraVe carries a moisturizing/hydrating cleanser in liquid and bar form that I think you will like. It feels creamy and doesn’t dry out the skin like other cleansers.

I have sensitive inflammation-prone skin and must have a low-level degree on dermatology at this point LOL. I like using CreaVe products since they are a good price and have good simple ingredient lists. My dermatologist approves of these products too, which is nice. If you can spend a little extra, you can also try La Roche Posay’s hydrating cleaser too. Very nice quality products.

old leadership of the union had sketchy connections. doesn’t have anything to do with the workers today and I’d hope no one is persuaded against supporting the strike due to that stuff. Here’s a good article from a trusted source that’s been reporting on this consistently. https://therealnews.com/teamsters-union-freight-contract-truckers

Sorry, I thought this was a place to ask all types of questions. Is it not? I’m looking at the other posts here and they are all open ended questions with no particular common subject. I want to understand the purpose of this sub, just let me know. Thanks.

I support this. How do we make it happen?
