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.

Personally to I take a job for a particular compensation and I put in a certain effort level. When its at the right level I put in about 50 hours a week. I know I should not but its expected and the pay is good. Since raises have not kept up with inflation I have been dropping what I put in (this is another reason I put in the extra so I have control of my hourly compensation more). Honestly though im down to 40 hours and make it a point of taking an hour lunch. I would like to slough off more but I just find that boring. I do put any work that I already know at the back though and prioritize things I have to learn and research.
