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.

They linked to blink 182's "All the Small Things" which reminded me of when I was working at Cracker Barrel in college. That song came on the radio in the kitchen, and everybody in the back of house said "Work sucks" in unison, and a bunch of the servers in the front replied "I know."

The manager made us change the radio station after that, but it was hilarious solidarity.

What a class traitor of a manager...

He was one of those "sad little kings of sad little hills" who lorded his power over everybody and creeped out any young woman who worked there.

I'm amazed they allowed something other than country music to play in a Cracker Barrel
