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.

The negativity comes almost entirely from two sorts of people
To 1, fuck 'em. To 2, eh, maybe find a hobby now that you don't have to commute 2 hours a day
One of my sups from my old job was recently complaining that people weren't required to come in more than two days a week and pushing to increase it because the office is lonely without them. She and people like her are the absolute worst. Main character syndrome doesn't even begin to describe them and I wish nothing but the worst for them in life tbh
That’s not main character syndrome, that’s just sad.
Some extroverts think it's everyone else's duty to energize them.
That’s not an extrovert, that’s an energy vampire.
For sure it is, but I at least feel with have to emphasize with them a little to solve this situation
I say fuck em to 2. I hated those people in the office. They wouldn't leave me alone. It was irritating.
Can't agree more.
