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.

I think some people also struggle with the lack of routine when on a break from work. I know I do (though I am autistic) and it's not necessarily that I want to be at work lol but it's the lack of structure for the days. Waking up and not having a plan is very overwhelming for me and definitely gets me into a depression if it's consecutive days without any structure.
I do think non-autistic people can struggle with this too - you definitely see with it retired people and others who say stuff like they just don't know what to do when they're not working or they come back from the break and are still feeling burnt out. Some people do need to more consciously plan for breaks so they can kinda make their own structure for the week or however long it is they have off. I used to have the same thing even at school - even though I hated school! ๐
So I think different people just need to figure out what works for them - some people can just take time off and go with the flow whereas others need to have a few things to do over the time off, some basic plans and others might need to make themselves a whole routine.
