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.

I kinda liked coming in at the end of the week now instead of middle of the week...less people in the office leads to less distractions and less traffic too, but school is starting soon so well see how bad that screws up the commute...
And ideally this is how it should work to maximize usefulness of the space...oh, everyone else is gone on Fridays, I'll come in Friday instead of Tuesday
Still coming in 3 days a week except now everyone is happier
Except the justification for forcing people back to offiices is to socialize and collaborate in-person. It defeats the purpose if you're showing up when everyone else isn't around (assuming management justifications are genuine).
If management actually value face-to-face collaboration, then they'll mandate all team members be in the office on the same set of days. Allowing you to pick your own WFH days speaks to different priorities - either manager oversight of specific individuals, or justification for all the money being spent on rent.
