Work Reform
17190 readers
2294 users here now
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 you're smart, you'd use your personal computer running a local AI model. It's your expertise that made working prompts because AI on its own is trash. So when you leave, your knowledge goes with you.
Yeah but you're forgetting one thing that years in IT have taught me. Most people aren't smart. Most people are dumber than shit, are barely literate, and refuse to learn. They only know "I press this specific button located at this one place for things to happen". If the button is changed in any way such as a slightly different color or moved by an inch, they are completely lost and helpless
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who feels this way. Thank you. I feel slightly more normal today.
How's the joke by George Carlin go again?
Something like "imagine the intelligence of the average person and then realize that half of people are dumber than that."
Ugh, you are giving me flashbacks to when the start button stopped saying “start” on it. I lost so much faith in humanity during that upgrade.
