A lot of trade unions used to maintain an "Ask First" list of people or companies their members should, well, ask the union about before agreeing to do work for because they'd been found to have mistreated or underpaid or generally shat on their workers in the past.
Unfortunately there isn't such a list for tech companies (although my goodness there should be), but in the absence of such a list I'd just like to say that (particularly if you're at all neurodiverse) then it would do you well to Ask First before agreeing to work for #RedHat.
I'm not posting this lightly. It's very much a last resort. But after six months of trying to fix this myself I'm done. I know it could have professional repercussions for me to post openly about this, but any company which would consider that to be a show-stopper as far as hiring me was concerned isn't a company I'd want to work for anyway.
Thanks for your attention. Feel free to boost.

Writers and Actors have NOT YET asked people to cancel streaming services etc.
This is because what little residuals they do get paid are helping them pay rent during the strike. Until they say so, don't cancel anything!
you can donate to the writers strike fund here to help with rent, food, bills, etc. while they strike:

Again, DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OFFERS FROM US PRODUCTION COMPANIES. They are trying to use you as strike breakers, and you will end up barred from the industry once they drop you after the strike is over. #WGAStrike #SAGAftraStrike #Solidarity
I don't give fuck the first if this costs me sales. Fuck'em, let them riot if they want. It's my product, I'll put what the fuck I like on it.
hey there, tooters. I think I should let you know that thanks to your interest in my designs, I got almost five times my normal paycheque from Redbubble this month. In deference to that, and because it was so nice of you, I donated half of the money made, who now, I hope will appreciate your Shark Money.
Thanks, and thanks for sharing it around.
I have a reason for coming out now. I was denied insurance coverage for surgery on the grounds of an exclusion for "sex transformation", and was told by multiple people there's basically no way to fight it.
But I ultimately won and got it paid for, and want the information available to anyone who might run into this problem so you know you're not out of luck.
I've created this document with everything I gathered to get my surgery covered. Everyone deserves healthcare.
I'm Elfi! I'm a fair folk, magical moth, greyace girl, greenhorn gamedev, in my thirties and , and ADHD+ASD+EDS. Disclosure: white
