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.

Second, seemingly legit, job posting that's contacted me after the fact to download Signal/Telegram. I'm in now way going to do it, not that dumb, just wondering if this is a new trend I'm not aware of?

Checks are still common in the USA. Not so much used by people, but businesses and corporations who transact money with people (eg insurance or banks).

Wow, I was born during the soviet occupation and I haven't even seen a check. Checks haven't been used for over 50 years here.
