I love how not a single word was about productivity. Because it's only about control, regardless of the negative impacts to the employees or company. Useless management trying to justify their existence.

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 do a job in which I produce countable digital product for my employer. I keep records of everything I complete (it only takes a couple of seconds per item).
I went back and looked at my logs for the last six months (to shake out any "on this day I was working on Xs, on that day I was working on more time-consuming Ys" biases) and wouldn't you know it...
The three days a week I'm at home working alone and not getting interrupted every five minutes by a coworker, I'm almost 20% more productive on average than the two office days where that's not the case. I know, I was as shocked as you are.
And guess whose employer just announced a third office day per week upcoming? It's almost like they're saying, "Oh boy, I can't WAIT to get less worker productivity! But at least they'll be collaborating!"
Literally told my managment you want ppl back only working 9 to 5 when customers globally were being told shame ya got problems vs ppl right now up at 4am doing training in Dubai on team calls??? Bruh
Quality departments stopped trending "Operator on overtime?" during COVID.
Employers are much more focused now than they were pre-pandemic on quality of workplace experience, the efficiency of seat sharing and the vibrancy of the districts in which they’re located
Oh please.
