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.

Knights among toner cartridges (infosec.pub)

(Business people) speaking a language familiar and dear to them. Its portentous nouns and verbs invest ordinary events with high adventure; executives walk among toner cartridges, caparisoned like knights. We should tolerate them - every person of spirit wants to ride a white horse. -William Strunk Jr. (The Elements of Style)

100% on the chair, I'm waiting for work to pick back up and that'll probably be my first good purchase cause my old piece of crap makes sitting at my computer for the minimal hours I do terrible.

But I live by my multiple monitors. When I'm sorting through receipts, doing payroll, data entry, anything, not having to alt-tab is a godsend. I grabbed 2 28" monitors, a keyboard/mouse, and a laptop dock, and it completely changed my workflow from my 14" laptop screen that I just plug my laptop in and close the lid. I need the laptop for portability, but having my landing setup makes all of my mundane office work so much easier.
