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 seems that it's most likely an out-of-touch marketing stunt. The company, Yes Madam, is apparently launching some sort of corporate wellness program type thing so they are likely going to pivot this publicity into "Treating employees like that would be awful right?! But companies do have stressed employees and should take care of them with...blah".
I hope it fully backfires and they go out of business.
EDIT: It just hit me that they are going to say "We didn't have a single employee who indicated stress on the survey, because we take care of our employees."
Nope. This is real and the company straight up fired over 100 people.
Check again...it was a publicity stunt.
@[email protected] you were correct. it’s nice to be vindicated but annoying that the internet will never stop falling for obvious bait like this.
Wow, such generosity! Also, they did write that they are 'family' in the statement 🌚
And "in home massages" where that means the CEO will come over and massage you if you are pretty and they have a fake promotion to dangle over them.
