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.

I'm not sure there is any productivity loss, I work way more efficiently at home
If you had kids, pets, etc, you might find yourself taking more breaks. But breaks are probably good for productivity too...
A quiet desk with your dog next to you or... soul-crushing commute and a noisy office?
Gee, I wonder why people are generally more productive at home?
Especially with the expansion of the open office.. Ugh. I've avoided it for most of my career and I hope to never go back to an official office unless it has a door on it.
