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.

You would think, if any company would promote remote work, it would be Zoom.
You would... if we lived in a world where the tech industry gave a shit about their employees.
All industry
The article says the mandate is 2 days in the office per week for employees who live within 50 miles of an office. The quoted exec lives farther from an office than that. Everyone can still work remotely 3 days per week.
How "generous" of a company dedicated to helping people doing remote work.
I can see this possible argument: that having their employees do both in-person and remote work allows them to identify and understand aspects of in-person work that are beneficial and missing from the remote experience, and thereby discover how to improve their product.
I won't believe that's why they have an RTO mandate, but I can see it as a post hoc rationalization.
So you’re saying that the in-office mandate only applies to employees that can’t afford to move away from the office.
It would be amazing to do some malicious compliance and find a way to move 51 miles from an office if you could afford to though.
