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.

That rewards employees for living as far away from the office as possible. Is that a fair thing to do? I seriously don't know.
you're right, let's scrap offices altogether and wfh 100%
Something tells me there might be a middle ground here.
Here's a radical idea: just let each employee decide if and when they work from home or in the office.
I'm not sure why you're talking to me like I'm suggesting some sort of crazy thing when I wasn't even making any suggestions...
I'm not? You said there must be a middle ground between incentivizing a forced RTO vs scrapping offices altogether and I presented one.
Sometimes you just gotta pick someone to reply to the whole conversation going on
Not rewards, incentivises, means the employer has a larger labor pool to pick from, which in capitalism is good.
But isn't making commutes longer a bad thing? Especially for the planet? And this is encouraging it.
Capitalism in general is bad for the planet
