To what extent to platforms facilitate union formation? To what extent do they discourage it? You'd think websites like glassdoor, linkedin, and this one would all be in an incredibly powerful position from the point of view of union organizing and the way they design the site could work for us or against us. So I'm asking two questions - how do we use the sites to build solidarity and organize unions but also can the sites better facilitate this process?

and really i'm talking more about people who work at dollar tree :/

For every group of workers it will be different, as you've surmised, because all it depends on is how they already communicates. For Dollar Tree it's probably WhatsApp or Facebook groups. For tech and gaming companies maybe it's Discord, I dunno. For advertising it might be a few big LinkedIn group DMs. Or here.

The organizing groups I'm part of span Slack, Signal and WhatsApp. I've also used Discord and Keybase.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
