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.

Yo, heard. Reminds me of something familiar on my end as well. Nice when there's a lil bit of wiggle room in a system like that. Gotta have a functional team though that can appreciate that work hard play hard work-life balance thing.
Relatively recently got a decentish gig after only working "good bad jobs." While the corporate culture shock is still abrasive at times, nice having some actual benefits and shit -- other than being able to call in "sick" to fuck off or hang with the boyes without care or consequence. Have a decent stack of mandatory personal/sick days that renew annually.
I can already tell I'm gonna be getting mighty ill around the holiday season, something definitely brewing.
