When I worked in the suicide prevention place four years back we had a staff away day. The agenda was a ‘Bitch and Pitch’ where we got to talk honestly in small groups about organisational problems and then pitch solutions, which we’d put to a pishy democratic post it note vote. I manoeuvred the operations director and two others to focus on poor prioritisation, burnout, the irony that mental health staff were fucked by working there and then proposed a 4 day week to unanimous praise, won the vote (of course). The CEO, being the pathetic and insecure worm that he is couldn’t take it, hated the fact that his presentation was beat? wouldn’t acknowledge it as any more than staff wanting another day off. But a few months after I left they introduced a fortnightly bank holiday, staff get to pick a day off ever other week that’s not deducted as holiday. It’s not enough but it does make me kind of proud to think about it
