Work Reform

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.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Exactly what my employer did during the pandemic. Hired more people and reduced the amount of leased office space. Would be impossible to call us back into office now because we simply wouldn't all fit.
No sign of that changing either. They announced just last week that they're letting the lease on a large chunk of our remaining offices lapse next year, and have already sub-leased out about half of that. We're fully remote for good at this point.
same here. had a name for it that was sorta like work where you want to but realistically only a slice of the company could actually work from an office. I mean just on population it would make sense to do like NY, LA, chicago, and then either houston or dallas.
