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.

Employees say poor leadership is driving stress, job changes, and even financial loss, while companies invest more in AI than in people.

The average corporate environment essentially rewards anti-social behavior. The people who get promoted into "leadership" are rarely the best ones for the job.

They're often people who ruthlessly pursue power at any cost or "yes men/women" who excel only at ass kissing. Those two types often go hand in hand and they are both highly destructive in their own ways.

Generally speaking, the corporate world is motivated only by greed and does not value good leadership. Companies with good leadership are not able to sustain severely overinflated stock prices.
