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.

It's amazing how incentives at high levels can absolutely twist someone.
Rather than discuss or investigate the situations that lead to these hire/fire cycles, potentially find a better way, they accept it as inevitable and build off of that.
They get to take the lazy route and still have room to internally satisfy their withered conscience that they are somehow "doing good" by making vague attempts to offset the shit situation, rather than trying to eliminate said situation entirely.
Fucking hell why does this explain so much of the bullshit I am dealing with at work right now?
At some point, companies completely absolved themselves of a large part of their purpose...which is to provide employment.
It doesn't hurt them. Why the hell should they care? Their massive bonuses go through whether Dave gets to give presents to his kids this year or not!
Of course money can buy anything and sometimes for very little.
