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.

My partner used to work for the FDA doing food safety stuff.

That's actually part of the problem. The recalls are happening not preemptively but after it's killing people. People dying from the e coli blueberries then initiating a recall. Nevermind how little prevention is happening before things go to market. Quality and production are always at odds with each other, but the threat of law was the only thing giving quality ammo. Now it's just pure unfettered capitalism
