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.

Coffee nuts don't drink starbucks and those of us who just drink coffee can't tell the difference...starbucks is a shit company with overpriced drinks.
Starbucks is a company that sells sugar for a lot of money. Who cares what happens to them.
I mean he has been rewarded for making the line go up. Part of making the line go up is reducing overheads. So he is being directly rewarded for actions like firing 1000+ employees. So is it a surprise?
Since I'm sitting negative I should clarify that I do not think the actions are moral. Only that he is incentivized to do things like this.
Just because there's a financial incentive doesn't mean you should do something. This is a step or two below murber for proflt.
I'm never said he should. I'm saying I understand why he did. I would not do the same thing in his position.
Remember most CEO's are psychopaths so they are not very concerned with the impact on the people they fire.
