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.

Waking up early for the fucking 8:30 AM meeting is the worst part of my life. I hate it.
ours is 8.37 every day, and management struggles to think of things to do at it.
Maybe it's time to start thinking about another job?
We need money to live, but there is no amount of money worth losing your happiness over. Sometimes it's better to sell the house, buy a good used Toyota, and take a pay cut to get a significantly less stressful job. Also make sure you are practicing self care. Eating well, taking time to yourself to enjoy the things you want to do, even if it's just sleeping.
And on that note, I highly recommend a Prius! They are amazing companions.
sounds like easy money if you're paid that half hour to do nothing, basically
if you're salary, that's dumb af tho
