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.

how did we get to the point where a gay hookup app is doing evil corporate schemes and attrition
I'll give you a hint, the first three letters of the answer are MBA.
My Butt Aches?
Because once the firm is big enough where the decision-maker doesn't personally know the people they're laying off, it almost immediately turns into this. The severance pay and unemployment of 80 software developers is millions of dollars, enough for even people who are normal and nice to the people they know to look the other way and say it was for the good of the company.
How did we get to a point where people online claim a company is evil?
How did we get to a point where people started becoming anti-employee corporate apologists?
It's cool tho. they let us know we should block them now cuz with a take that bad there's no chance they'll ever have a comment worthy of our sight
But they mod a joe Rogan subreddit! What if I miss out?
How do I pay extra to miss out?!
"online"? People have been calling, and rightfully so, many companies for a very long time.
Let me guess- corporations are people.
