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 want to hold them captive all day long,” Ellison said during a financial presentation on Thursday. “I don’t want them leaving the building … I don’t want them walking down the road for a cup of coffee. We kind of figured out a few years ago how much that cost.”

One, fuck you with a burning stick.

Two, people who are off the clock can go wherever the fuck they want.

Three, you'd better be in that fucking office yourself at least forty hours a week.

Four, put the stick out with a jar of honey and then fuck your own peehole with it.

If he's not there, don't work? I'm on the more industrial side of things, but if my boss is maliciously not here, that's just me being paid to dick about on my phone. Or steamdeck if I'm feeling frisky.

Director is like my manager's manager's manager's manager. She doesn't contribute anything other than finding ways to reduce productivity

Honey is too kind. I was thinking more along the lines of putting the fire out using a jar of Carolina Reapers, and then he can go to town on his urethra with that
