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.

Fill them up with homeless people and solve the housing crisis.

Sounds like a good idea on the surface, but I’ve read elsewhere that office space isn’t really suited to living space, and converting it is cost prohibitive in many cases because the buildings were never intended for residential use. Still, in a crisis there are always creative solutions to address some hurdles. Problem is that takes political will. Something that’s hard to find, at least in the US.
