I agree. I wish more capitalists in charge did!

from Wikipedia:

The labour market is traditionally characterized by a high degree of union membership rates and collective agreement coverage.

Well, there’s the problem. Our capitalists say that’s stupid, they’ll just lose money!

Yeah, I get what you’re saying, but between more money and a ping pong table, which do you think most people would choose? If they wanted to imply a more casual/fun/less-stress environment, they should have said that, but implying a ping pong table would motivate people to stay is like thinking dangling your keys in front of a baby to stop its crying will keep it happy forever. At least a pay raise is helpful to me.

So ping pong table falls under the third point right? More ping pong = more fun = better culture? Right? /s just for clarity

Listen, speaking as an American, we know Danes have better quality of life, but we’ll be damned if we will sacrifice capitalism to get there! Our motto is “if you’re not working, you’re losing money!” That only applies to the lower ranks, of course.

Seriously tho, I would love to live in a society that expects companies to hold the well-being of their employees over profits (not that these two are mutually exclusive), and the culture is changing slowly, but we’re not there yet.

This is what I’m trying to do. Be the change! And promoting those groups in !newcommunities, sub.rehab, and other related communities as allowed by the rules can bolster engagement!

Also for Apollo users, the Memmy app is very close!

No, it’s a bot to help people not give revenue to Yourube.

As a teacher who teaches students with Chromebooks, I concur.

I’ve still got two, and I like some features on each better than the other. Kbin for instance doesn’t federate with some instances very well, doesn’t have an app (yet), and doesn’t have some of the other features of Lemmy (like cross-posting), but I like the look of it better and some of the posting features are preferable (like when posting a picture post/thread, it gives you a box for alt text). On the other hand, lemmy has a lot of great apps (I have only tried wefwef and Memmy, but I’ve heard good things about at least 3 more), allows cross-posting, federates well with both search and posts from other sites/instances, but the /all needs some work and it’s not as attractive and is missing some features I’d like. Also, sometimes, one or the other is down, so I just switch. I’m active on both lemmy.world and kbin.social.
