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.

That’s just thinly veiled revenge justice. It’s not a good doctrine for a humane (or working) society.

I don't see it as revenge justice, but more like siding with victims.

You can't "rehabilitate" an abuser by having them work 60 or 90 days as a fast food worker. It could be part of a broader, long-term strategy to turn a horrible person into a normal one, but that doesn't seem to be what's happened here.
