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.

Yeah, what the fuck am I automating in my daily life that would be beneficial for a new position I’m walking in to?
Also, automation and AI are not exclusive to each other. I have tons of automations at home and my house is set up with a bunch of virtual assistant commands and lights, Air conditioning and some other things have an automated schedule. None of this was done with AI.
I work as a lead software engineer a at a large e-commerce and manufacturing company. I guess I could train an agentic ai to automate some of my workflows, but at the reduced cost of ownership of problems and intricate knowledge of how to fix issues as they arrive. LLMs love to inject mock data that “looks” right, but in practice this doesn’t mix well with programming.
LLM are self poisoning prediction machine, and as far as I’ve been able to test can’t even handle multi-level react apps that are intertwined with 3rd party applications. Basically making it useless with any software that has multiple integrations.
