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.

"Exponentially" is not synonymous to "a lot". Exponent is a mathematical term and exponential growth requires at least two variables exponentially related to each other. For this to be possibly exponential growth a) progress should be quantifiable (removing management and treating workers well should be quantized somehow) b) performance should be quantifiable and measured at a bunch of progress points (if you have only two measurements it can as well be linear) c) performance should be or can be modeled as a an exponential function of progress in removing management and treating workers well.
Are you trying to tell me that my employees won’t become 3.9x10(^99) more productive if I remove middle management?
To be fair 10^(0.000000000000000000001x) is also exponential growth. And if status quo is x=0 and removing entire management means x=10 this means even the max we can get is very little improvement. It can be "exponential" and still not so much.
