Every day a new rich cunt demanding the enslavement of the poor. It's pretty tiresome.

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.

If I'm ever in charge this guy gets to work 70 hour weeks at Popeyes.
Even worse, a Waffle House in north Florida.
Compared to the productivity of 30 years ago, we probably work as much as the people back then would have to work in a 70 hour workweek.
Weirdly enough pay didn't raise close to productivity...
You are roughly four times as productive each hour as your grandparents.
Don't forget tgat was typically off judt grandpa's salary so really you're 8x as worse off.
The measure is given as value produced per man hour (I know).
Nevertheless, the wage gap, housing commodification, and the erasure of the family wage are also extremely relevant issues.
Shit like this, as well as the fact that they take a ridiculously hefty cut out of what client companies pay to have positions filled (something like 70/30 or even 90/10), is why the company has an atrocious turnover rate here in the US for anyone who isn't held hostage by visa issues.
Yeah, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that dude.
Fuck him
Aren’t billionaires and their opinions just great? ®
Simply amazing.
I used to work for a company that outsourced most of its developers to Infosys. I managed a few of them. They were lovely people, treated like shit by my company and by Infosys. I did my best with the little power available to me to give them reasonable projects and maintain reasonable expectations, they said I was the best manager they ever had. After I got laid off, they all quit too and most I think ended up working for Oracle somehow, I don't know how they're doing these days but Oracle sounds like it's probably a fate worse than death, unfortunately.
Only if they lead by example :^)
Please don't follow their example on anything.
Well, that was what people in Germany and Japan did after the war. I fail to recognize, though, which devastating war had been lost by India lately so they would have to rebuild the country from scratch.
That's a boomer myth. They used to work long hours but much relaxed pace. Go and show them the modern schedule and stressors of many modern job, and they are absolutely higher than in the past. Every honest european boomer agrees with this. Millennials europeans are working much more intensively and more effective hours overall, even in Germany
Boomers used to go home too, and not have a device going off in their pockets every 55 seconds. They were able to unplug. The boss didn't dare go to the boomers house. Today, your boss doesn't even blink at calling you at 2am.
I have a separate phone for work and turn that thing off immediately when my 8 hours are up.
Your struggle is our struggle, Narayana. We all share the same interests.
