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.

You know what super fucking annoying? Meeting at 9am. WTF?
People get stuck in traffic, or public transport failed, or little Johny forgot his school bag so the parent had to turn around when dropping them at school.
Number of times I've been in meeting at 9am that don't end up happening is absurd. Plus the majority of attendees have most of the day clear in their schedule. So why book the meeting for 9 goddamn am in the morning?
I would love. 9am meeting over a 7am meeting. JFC, let my cold personality a chance to thaw. IDC about time zones.
So the rest of the day can be used for work. If you start at 930 everyone on time fucks off for half an hour
As if people don't already fuck off for at least a half hour every day anyway
I think 10am is reasonable for first meetings.
I would also say no meetings to close to the end of lunch or ending at 5pm.
I agree with this part.
10 is the best time for morning meetings, just like 2 in the afternoon. After you've had a chance to get going, before people are hungry. And 2pm is after the lunch snooze but early enough to fix stuff before close of business.
Putting meetings super early or late is an attempt to prevent interruption in workflow but meetings should be rare enough that it's not an issue and it is the productive thing for that morning/afternoon.
