"Signal boosting this new space from Wesley Faulkner because A) he's awesome, and B) the first issue is out and it's like a balm for my weary soul." --Leon Adato
Big thanks to @leonadato.com for the kind words about Work’s Not Working.
The second issue drops this weekend. Don’t miss it! Sign up for the newsletter now: works-not-working.com
Okay. That is small. I think that's the best it can be given the restriction on the newsletter service I'm using. Thank you for reporting back. BTW, the first newsletter went out to day. Did you get it?

Our Manifesto
We’re told the system works.
That if you speak up, someone will listen.
That HR is there to protect you.
That managers care.
That values written on a wall mean something.
Thanks for reporting this. Can you try loading it again to see if the bug is still there. Code was pushed out to fix it.

📢 Fixed: A bug was blocking mobile sign-ups for the Work’s Not Working newsletter. It’s all working now!
Thanks to everyone who let us know. Sign up here: works-not-working.com
We are not here to fix the system from the inside.
We’re here to survive it—and support each other in doing the same.
We hold the job.
We keep our soul.
We are Quiet Rebels.
Join us!
works-not-working.com
We don’t follow the handbook.
We write our own.
We know the system wasn’t built for us.
So we built something else.
This community. This space.
A place for real talk, mutual aid, and honest strategies.
We are not loud by choice.
We are quiet because it’s safer.
Because we have bills to pay. Families to care for. Careers to protect.
But quiet does not mean passive.
We share resources.
We protect each other.
We swap stories in backchannels and DMs.
We build our own playbook for survival.
We are the ones who still have to smile in meetings.
Who still show up and get the job done.
Who are navigating toxic power structures, inequity, and performative allyship—while trying to stay employed.
We are not naive.
We are not burned out because we didn’t try—we’re burned out because we did.
We showed up. We gave feedback. We followed the process.
And too often, we paid the price for it.
But we’ve lived the reality:
HR protects the company.
Managers are overworked, undertrained, or part of the problem.
And those values? They're often just wallpaper.
Our Manifesto
We’re told the system works.
That if you speak up, someone will listen.
That HR is there to protect you.
That managers care.
That values written on a wall mean something.
