Wages unfit to live on. Toeing the company line. Disregard for safety. Worker exploitation. No layoffs? Sure, when you hire temp and part time workers with 3 month contracts, they [...]
I’m referring of course to that digital version of the Borg collective commonly known as Facebook. Seems there is a big todo about FB this week. The IPO comes out meaning the stock will be trading live and making a few people very wealthy and a lot of people very poor. I won’t offer any [...]
