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.

The sentiment that people don't want to work anymore is correct, but not for the reasons they're saying.
Nobody wants to do to the work of developing and mentoring entry-level hires. Hence entry-level positions requiring 5 years of experience in a technology that's only existed for 3.
Nobody wants to do the work of making a productive work environment, instead saddling one person with the responsibility of three. And not paying them appropriately.
Nobody wants to do the work of making a product people actually want to use before aggressively monetizing it.
Nobody wants to do the work of researching a technology before milking it for every penny. See: AI.
I could go on.
