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've been WFH since 2019 and in the last 2 months they're trying to get me back in. I've had 3 different calls about it, each time it's escalated to a higher manager.

The calls basically go the same way each time, they'd like me back in the office, I ask if I'm not meeting targets and in told I am. Next I ask if there is anything I'm doing wrong, there isn't. They go on to say it's for team morale, cohesion etc and I ask if there has been an complaints and I'm told no, I say I'm having no problems with everybody I need to communicate with. Then I say I don't understand why I can't continue WFH if there isn't a problem as I'm saving about 10-15k a year in fuel & childcare. Then they just say they're happy to leave it like it is...

I haven't looked into it too hard but as an Aussie I think it's gonna be pretty hard for them to force me back in

Funny they actually admitted it, when they wanted to bring me back into office in mid 2020 they just lied and said everyone wanted to come back but me. A quick off the record chat with my coworkers said otherwise.
