Work Reform
17103 readers

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.

Writing "Billy" is like writing "x-tra", it only ever confuses people for no benefit.
Just write B if you're such a l33t tester.
I disagree, it's taking the piss by making a billion sound smaller. Because of that, it almost sounds like a parent handing out pocket money to it's children. Not sure how you call this form of (dark) humor in English though.
It doesn't confuse plenty of people. You might not be one of the people the person posting in the screenshot was talking to. You don't have to be. It might not be vernacular you're familiar or comfortable with. It doesn't have to be.
Not everyone in every neighborhood in the country talks or acts like you. The elitist attitude of explaining how useless their language choices are definitely reflects poorly on someone, but it isn't them.
